Eating Balut: A Small Delight After a Pac Fight

My dad says, "A ceremonial treat to have after a good win. The Balut is my favorite snack, it's not weird."

At long last, a story on Balut. On special occasions, my family will enjoy eating a Balut. On this day, we had family and friends over for the Pacquiao vs. Clottey fight. And what a perfect time to celebrate with a snack of Balut. After a long 12 round win, my dad heads over to the hot pot of freshly boiled Balut.

Yummm…Dragon Fruit!

You can find these yummy, soft dragon fruits in tropical areas and mostly in Asia. It's part of the cactus family and it's called dragon fruit because of its rich colors and spikes. I usually like cutting them up in squares and soaking them in a bowl of sugar water. Dragon fruit is like kiwi without the sour tang. If you eat it by itself, it's a bit like tasteless fruit, but I love them because of their simplicity and beautiful colors.
