Delicious Philippino Food

Almost three weeks in Phlippines, sure i had tried some philippino food. Now, let me introduce to you one by one, my number one favourite food isssss............... Pancit Palabok. It is actually a Filipino noodle dish of Chinese origin, called as palabok because of the thin rice noodles are covered with a bright colored orange shrimp-flavoured thick sauce. Aside from the sauce, pancit palabok has a toppings of prawns, wedge cut hard-boiled eggs, chicharon (pork cracklings), flaked tinapa (smoke fish), fried garlic and chopped of green onions. Then finished it with squeezing lemon all over. Wah, it makes me feeling hungry now.....

The second goes to Halo-halo, a popular Filipino dessert which is a mixture of shaved ice, evaporated milk, sweet beans and fruits, and then served in a tall glass or bowl. It is exactly like the 'ice-kacang' in Malaysia. No doubt that this mouth-watering dessert is the favourite of the kids because of its colourful looking. While i was eating halo-halo in the restaurant, the kid who was sitting in front of me kept starring at my halo-halo, i felt very 'paiseh' but still kept on enjoying it....haha... :P

The third one is 'Leche-Flan' or Filipino custard which i have mentioned before in the post of Leslies Restaurant in Tagaytay , a very popular dessert in Phillipines.

Well, there are also some very special Filipino food like balut which is commonly sold as streetfood in Philippines. Balut is a fertilized duck or chicken egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell. Besides, it is popularly believed to be an aphrodisiac and considered as a high-protein, hearty snack. Another type of balut which is fried until golden brown, they called it Kwek-kwek.

So after seeing the picutre of balut, do you brave enough to eat? I'm not dare to eat both type of balut as found uneasy to eat the small chick insides........ >.<

Besides, they eat also small worm/bug. I tried few of them, it was a bit salty....
