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. Balut comes from the word, Balot which means "wrapped" in Tagalog.]]> http://lakbai.com/2010/03/21/eating-balut-a-small-delight-after-a-pac-fight/feed/ 4 http://lakbai.com/2010/03/21/a-dog-washing-machine-in-tokyo/ http://lakbai.com/2010/03/21/a-dog-washing-machine-in-tokyo/#comments Sun, 21 Mar 2010 21:33:06 +0000 Stacey http://lakbai.com/?p=1904 Feeling lazy?

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.]]> http://lakbai.com/2010/03/18/yummm-dragon-fruit/feed/ 3
