me and my suki, calls it “aborted eggs”…one can buy those eggs at the Sunday Market @ Lung Center. there is only this one vendor who sells it. His items are usually dressed native chicken and ducks. plus those immature eggs. :) he puts it in a medium sized banyera. at times, its not on display. though lately, he already had it por-kilo in plastic bags.if not, just ask it from him. he’s located near the meat section, just right after the seafoods. left side, far end.

Dont overcook it. we usually cook it adobo style, & sometimes adobo sa gata ala antipolo carideria. my kids love it!

This is not everybody’s favorite in our family, but, I do love it. I like having premature or immature (whichever) chicken eggs on my chicken adobo. I wish I can find it here in our area.

Haha. Sorry MM for this OT chichat.

@Botchok – I’ll check that sampalucan place when I find myself in that vicinity with original Tuding’s at San Antonio(?). Thanks.

@Katrina – I just drive to the “riles” if I want freshly-made puto binan by Nila’s in San Vicente. Never got to know Menay’s since I moved to Binan 9 years ago. But the best puto Binan I tasted was the made-to-order puto binan by my neighbor, with chunks of cheese and salted egg. I just wish Tonys Goto move to a more presentable location at the plaza.

@ Noel – it is near the original Tuding’s porkchop beside the gas station. I’m just not sure if they are still in operation, the last time i ate there was about 8 years ago. The place is called “sampalucan”.
@Katrina – Sadly there is no more Menay’s puto Binan as their whole family have migrated here in the U.S. I’m just lucky because I still get to taste the famous puto once in a while during parties.
@ MM – Thanks for letting us have a little chitchat over here, pasensya na po.

I agree. Quail eggs make for a better addition to adobo. Easier to share among the peeps eating and less of an overkill compared to a whole chicken egg per person. Let’s just not go into the extra cholesterol that it brings hahahahaha

Not sure but maybe the yolks would be better dessert material. Creme anglaise over fruit or souffle ?

Hi, Botchok. Where is that eatery in Binan that serves immature eggs? I live in Binan, and I like to try alternative eateries aside from Tuding’s Porkchop and the old Tony’s Pospas.

Thanks in advance.
