Balut is a 14 to 21-day old fertilized duck egg depending on how developed one wants the duck embryo is. Balut is a common street food that has its origins in China. Pateros is the balut-capital of the Philippines. Balut is boiled and then eaten with salt or some spiced vinegar. The way to eat balut: crack the shell, peel it bit by bit, slurp the soup (cooked amniotic fluid of the chick) before eating the egg and embryo. It is a favorite street food in the Philippines as it is cheap and nutritious. Another version for the less squimish is Penoy. It is an unfertized duck egg that is boiled. Depending on one's preference, it is just egg boiled with the consistency from runny to hard boiled - definitely no duck embryo on this one.

5/5 Excellent

"We always had great experience with Seda Hotel. Whenever we come to Philippines, we always take a break in Manila for a few days before going to Davao. Seda has always been great! We have stayed in both locations, BGC and Abreeza in Davao and we always had great experiences! The staff is amazing, they are so friendly, helpful and respectful! The free buffet breakfast is phenomenal! Tons of options for both Filipino and non-Filipino dishes. The only thing that we were bummed about was the pool, during our stay they are under going some renovations and the pool was included so my girls couldn’t use it and they were really disappointed but we found other stuff for them to do since the location is so close to everything for both shopping and dining. The next time we’re back in Manila, we will definitely stay at Seda again. I hope they’ll always maintain the high quality level of experience that they provide to their customers. "
