~~dazzling of asian culture~~

~polvoron~

Polvoron is a sweet snack made of powdered milk.

A Spanish origin of polvoron is also considered as a native delicacy in Philippines.

Spanish polvorones is made with almonds and cinnamon, and does not contain any powdered milk like the Filipino version does.

So although polvoron did originate from Spain, the Filipino version does differ markedly from it's Spanish original

~balut~

A fertilized duck egg that is nearly developed embryo.

Boiled and eaten in the shell

Fertilized duck or chicken eggs are kept warm under the sun and stored in baskets to retain warmth. After 9 days, the eggs are taken out and held under a light to reveal the embryo inside.

Balut are often eaten with a pinch of salt and ground pepper. Some may prefer eaten with chilli and vinegar to savour their taste buds...
