First day touch down in Manila, the capital of the Philippines. surrounded by bayside city on the island of Luzon.
Got move in to The Lyric Apartelle hotel from agoda.com by GrabCar for four day three nights.

I walked down to the night street market at SM Hypermarket around Boulevard street, Mandaluyong. I smell something good, that's what caught my attention toward the stall, selling some egg kind-of thing.

The seller told me this is something I must try in local Philippine as a tourist, " You wouldn't regard for sure", said the seller, approximately about 50 peso for one small egg.

I finally had it, what surprise me is that I've seen some moving hair inside the egg, thought it was my hair accidentally dropped inside, but looking closely, indeed there is some creature inside the egg still alive and half dead, gross and disgusting moving hairs and moving muscular around the egg.

But I end up forcing myself to swallow the entire egg into my stomach.

What I've found out is that there is eventually some developing bird embryo (usually a duck) that is boiled and eaten from the shell, only can be found in most of the street food in the Philippines.

I HAVE THE WEIRDEST FOOD EVER IN MANILA, PHILIPPINE

EVEN THEIR LOCAL NOT BRAVE ENOUGH TO TRY IT OUT
