Hi Marketman,
It is quite possible that orange color of duck egg yolks stems from the carotenoids (e.g. lutein, beta-carotene, lycopene) that the duck had consumed and then deposited in the yolk. In that respect, the duck egg above is healthier than the pale chicken egg. With respect to organic chicken eggs, the orange color is an indicator that the hen was consuming a lot of carotene-rich food like leaves. In that case, the orange color is also an indicator of the presence of other fat-soluble nutrients like Vitamin K1 and K2. Maybe the same is true of the duck eggs.

I will visit Salcedo Market again to get my vanilla pods when the vanilla is nearly done and will embark on a bigger batch for infusion. If I start in June,I can have a batch for giving away in December,diba? Thanks bettyq!!

Marisse: does your daughter send you BB box? Ask her if she can buy the vanilla beans on E-bay …they have organic ones. I bought mine for only $22/pound Grade A Madagascar vnilla beans. So I bought 2 pounds and gave me 1/2 pound extra for free! So next time, if you want to make more vanilla extract like “neverending”….leave SOME of your finished vanilla extract in the bottle and pour your next bottle of Rum or Vodka to jumpstart your next bottle of vanilla. Each time you use a vanilla pod (seeds)in your baking,throw the spent pod in the bottle.

Thanks bettyq.I’ve not made red eggs in a long time. Want to do that again. I will look for duck eggs.Wish me luck bettyq. I’ve always wondered why red. I was always in a dilemma when I used to make them as they looked “different” with the stined color when I wanted to give them away. The ones they sell here are red,and the ones with mud/clay are the century egg.
Will try that bettyq.Your recipe now in my 2nd “ntbk”.
Wala sa topic. MM also want to tell you that my vanilla infusion (from your vanilla pod post) is now two months I started dec 14,and the entire liquid is now brown. Wheeeee. I’m sometimes tempted to open and smell–but I will wait for June 14. Will let you know.

Kylie Kwong used duck eggs when she presented this dish on her show. Itâ€™s one of hubbyâ€™s favourite dishes. Homestyle Fried Eggs with Oyster Sauce and Chilli.

Marisse: I think duck eggs are the choice eggs to use since the yolks are much bigger …more yummy stuff to eat and maybe more oily (?), too since MM said it has a higher fat content than chicken eggs.

Maybe it’s a Pinoy thing…the red colored ones kasi the ones sold in Asian stores here are either wrapped in black mud/clay or just plain ones in cartons and packaged in 6’s. Could it be they color them to differentiate them from the balut or fresh duck eggs?

To MM and betty q, thanks so much for sharing your recipes. I will now get the ingredients for the latest leche flan recipe, after not making leche flan in years.I used to do leche flan the only way I knew -with evap milk/condensed milk, then use “katsa” to strain, etc. I also want to try making itlog na pula because lately,the ones I buy from the supermarkets are not as good as before – not oily,too salty, sometimes red (just coloring, right?), sometimes plain.I have now started to put some system into my folders for easy recipe retrieval.The first recipe I tried from MM was the mango jam, and further experimented with whatever fruits I have from the garden. The best was the sininguelas jam which was a hit but I only managed to come up to equivalent to 2 cups of jam.It will soon be sinueguelas time in a few months, and I am eager to try again. That was soo funny,michelle h.

Wow!! I used to make red eggs when I was younger but didnt know you need to put “syoktong”…it’s only now that I realized that’s rice wine!! I want to try that. I always thought you use only duck eggs which are harder to find. Thanks for the chicken egg tip Ted!!
Brought back memories of my pet ducks who we allowed to roam and who would hide their eggs…so it was hide and seek where the eggs are. But their favorite place was under the bushes…so I later became good at finding them and straight into the kitchen they went. They are also more “malansa” than chicken eggs..di ba?
My problem with making red eggs was the color after you had done them,what do you do to color the outside like the commercial red eggs? Or do you just let them be—sometimes the eggshells looked stained even brownish. Is that why they color them?
