Pinoy Street Foods

These are the common food that you will find in any place in the Philippines being peddled in the streets by Pinoys who want to earn a living for the sake of their family. Mostly purchased and prepared by themselves, they make sure that it is clean and sanitary for public consumption. Also some municipalities issue mayor and health permit to street vendors so that it is strictly regulated and the local entepreneur can ply their products legally. So if you are curious to know the taste, dont shy away give it a try and check it out. I tell you that it is clean, delicious and it is truly a pinoy food experience.

Balot - (boiled fertilized duck egg) This is one of the popular food that you can buy on the streets. It is a good source of protein and some say that it is a good aphrodisiac. Many locals prefer to eat balut during or after their drinking session. If your guts are strong enough, I recommend you to try it like an initiation. This is very delicious and it comes with a dose of vinegar or salt to enchance more the taste.The vendor as you can see from the left also offer some other food stuffs like itlog pugo (boiled quail eggs) and sitsaron (skin pork rind). Penoy as you can see from the right frame is also boiled duck eggs but this is not completely fertilized unlike the balut.
