Balut Egg ---- Dared enough to try it ....

Vietnamese X Factor food that’s what I call
Haha one of my friends (Brian) has try the Vietnamese famous food call Balut Egg-Trứng vịt lộn or Hột vịt lộn in Vietnamese
But what is Balut egg....A Balut is a fertilized duck embryo that is boiled alive and eaten in the shell. In Vietnam, Balut are eaten with a pinch of salt, lemon juice, plus ground pepper and Vietnamese Coriander leaves (Southern Vietnamese style).
Look for yourself. If you dared enough to try than go ahead.

Popularly believed to be an aphrodisiac and considered a high-protein, hearty snack, Balut are mostly sold by street vendors in the regions where they are available.
The Vietnamese often prefer their Balut mature from 19 days up to 21 days, when the chick is old enough to be recognizable as a baby duck and has bones that will be firm but tender when cooked
