KWEK-KWEK

Kwek-kwek (or Kwekwek) is a kind of food commonly sold along the streets of Manila and many other places in the Philippines. It is made up of hard-boiled chicken eggs individually wrapped in orange-tinted batter, which are then fried until golden brown. There is another version of the kwek-kwek called the tokneneng (or tuknene) which uses quail eggs instead of chicken eggs. Kwek-kwek , as well as other street foods such as isaw, adidas and fish balls, are very popular with the students, professors and virtually everyone else in the AMA Computer College Davao.

BALUT

A balut - is a fertilized duck egg with an undeveloped embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell. It is considered delicacies of Asia, especially in the Philippines where it is popularly believed to be an aphrodisiac and considered a high-protein, hearty snack. Baluts are mostly sold by street vendors at night in the regions where they are available. Regarded as an "exotic" food, baluts are often served as side dishes or appetizers in drinking (liquor) sessions.

"Just a little hindrance, i really never tried to eat 'balut' (since birth) and i wonder why anyone really like to eat it even with its not-kinda-want-to-eat looks ^^. Well someday i guess i can overcome the difficulty to eat that 'balut' hmmm... maybe it tastes good. "
