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.

"I'm not good at English, but the staff politely answered my questions using the translation function on their smartphones. The room was not dirty either. The area around the hotel could be called a slum. The shower had a water heater, but there was no hot water."

Beautiful modern hotel, I'll be back!

"The Conrad Manila was fantastic. Everyone we interacted with there was so nice. I will definitely be coming back the next time I am in Manila. The Conrad is also convenient to the Mall of Asia and many amenities in the area."

"I found a cockroach in my bathroom when I first walked in. Aside from that, the hotel is convenient to the airport and surrounding retail options; casino, convenient stores and restaurants, and retail shopping is the main reason to stay here. Breakfast is great as well."
