hi mr marketman im googling a post about balut and here popped ur page…
im jst wonderin ,of all the “most” basic filipino foods youve featured here, youve never come across the topic on BALUT, i think itl be a fun post— the anatomy of balut..hehe…kidding
please feature this delicacy, they also have the really odd and bizzare type of egg— they call it heco, or ecco… which is close to the abnoy kind, the smell kinda bothers some but taste really good, dipped in chilli vinegar…

I have never been in any rally before but i observed and realized that rally seems like a socialization too! look at the street foods and stream of people, im sure that street food will flourish even some says that its never hygenic to consume them. i think its lovely to eat them once you see that all are thirsty and hungry and desperately wanted to fill anything on their stomach. i love street food and i like eating them while looking with many strange faces….

WitnessStatement, you are right, they had a LOT of dried squid, pungent before and after grilling! I have a couple of photos, but forgot to include one of them in the line-up above…

I’d eat ’em all! Hahaha! That’s the whole idea of a peaceful rally…festively vent your frustration on a greedy bitch and a-hole. All kidding aside, as a country, that’s what we get for not learning from the past with these Marcoses. They plundered and pillaged the country and we had the insanity to allow them back and even hold public office. So whoever comes along after them, from the Ramoses to the Macapagals to the next one, it’s all going to be the same. By the way….luv that t-shirt!! It sez it all!

First timer here.

You forgot the dried pusit. :) It’s another one of those rally staples.

I am an activist and a regular at rallies. You would think that we lose so much calories in walking so and so kilometers of streets… but the street food more than make up for those calories. Yes, sago’t gulaman is a staple (more than water in my opinion as sago’t gulaman is cheaper than bottled water)

Wow!When I saw the 1st pic with the balot/penoy I have to rush to the kitchen to cook the Penoy Higop we just bought from Pateros.It was my first time in Pateros and I was disappointed not to see the duck farms I thought were there.I was surprised to learn from the duck eggs store owner that they source their eggs from Lubao!Anyway,the penoy higop was the best I’ve tasted.Fresh indeed!Slurp!!!!

Sorry MM, a bit off topic but still related to the NBN-ZTE controversy and other things;

Treason by the Commander in Chief: Barry Wain’s article in the Jan-Feb 2008 issue of Far East Economic Review gives the big picture why China allowed GMA-JDV to overprice Northrail, Southrail, NBN, and CyberEd.

China paid $8 billion in ODA for GMA-JDV to sign away our sovereign rights in the Spratlys, even violating an ASEAN agreement.
