balut moment

balut is a common street food in the philippines. it is  a 16-day or 18-day old unhatched duck egg… 

i've been telling brad to try one when he get to pinas but he's been saying no to it… when we were in tupi, i was still persistent to let him try and he would still say no... i was surprised when he said he's ready to eat, "just to make you happy" ;) so we went out that night only to find out there's no more balut :(( 

on our last night in tupi, we went out after dinner and yey!!! there's balut... we took our balut back home as we were still full... 

it took a while for brad to start eating his share of balut and a little courage maybe, hehehe... he didn't even want to look at me having my first balut. he didn't want to see the 'sisiw' (chick)... until we got him to eat his share, he had two... and the water was ready for him. you're the man, babe :))

i asked him if he would like to have balut again, the answer was "no"... but who knows, he would still have next time ;)

nevertheless, 'twas an accomplished mission ;)
