    All I need every day when I’m in the Philippines is fresh Turon & strong Hilot

    Tks for ur video. I'm in love with ur accent. Because one of my daughter is Filipino and my little one loves her so much so we plan to visit Philippines to learn more about my little one's teacher country in this summer.

    Very well done. I appreciate the respect paid to the hard-working Filipino/a. Coming to visit in 2 weeks. Shared this video with my sons who’ve never been there.

      Thanks for your kind comment. Huge respect to hard-working Filipinos who form the backbone of so many sectors like shipping, healthcare, and fishing, but go so unseen. Hope you had a fabulous trip!

      Important note: "Metro Manila" and "Manila" are vastly different areas. Don't assume you are in Manila just because you see a skyscraper. In fact, Manila is just a small city. More than half of the other cities in the region are larger.

    Hi Mel this was a great insight - thank you. Just arrived in Manila solo, so if you (or anyone watching this) is here, let me know. Would be great to do these things with others :-) Thank you again for this video :-)

      Hey Frank - I'm not in Manila but I'd definitely recommend posting in Facebook groups about travelling solo / solo adveturing in the Philippines! Hope you have a great trip and meet some wonderful people

    I would like to try the duck egg. I think I'd like it.

    • @mocabe01
      @mocabe01 7 месяцев назад

      I recommend you confirm from the vendor that the balut is just a few weeks old.
      Pretty sure locals eat it only while the bones and beak are barely formed so they're still chewy (and very little hair) and you can wolf the whole thing down esp if you are just in it for the "bragging rights" that you ate one of the most notorious foods on Earth.
      A bit of salt greatly improves the flavor -- esp the fluid. Don't forget to put some! Vendors will always offer salt for free.

    I am planning to go back to Manila (I am a Malaysian born Filipino) and almost had no idea of Manila due to short visit all the time. While I was looking for more info to travel with my mom, I stumbled upon your channel. Very informative and I love your presentation. New subscriber here! All the best, Mel!

      just remember: "Metro Manila" and "Manila" are NOT the same thing. Don't assume you are in Manila just because you see a skyscraper.

    • @melissalegarda

    Balut is not a fermented duck egg. It's a fertilized duck egg. The eighteen days thing that you mentioned is how developed the embryo is within the shell. Obviously, the more days, the closer to hatching, and the closer to a duckling the embryo will appear to be when cracked open. (Or is that quacked open?)
    The Chinese eat fermented duck eggs by coating them with all sorts - salt and ash, quicklime and rice husks, and then burying them for months. They refer to it as Century Old Egg, and when peeled, the egg is then black in colour. I don't think it's fertilized. I think it is steamed/boiled or added to a soup.

    • @melissalegarda
      @melissalegarda  7 месяцев назад

      Quacked open! Nicely done. Thanks for your comment and correcting my terminology with a clearer distinction between fertilised and fermented. Appreciate it! I'm intrigued about Century Old Eggs, hopefully get to experience that soon
