Philippines' Popular Balut Ranked Among Southeast Asia's Worst Dishes

Balut is a well-known food in the Philippines, often served at both street stalls and fancy restaurants.

TasteAtlas says balut is a duck egg that has been boiled and has a baby duck inside. People usually eat it straight from the shell. It is also thought to be good for romance and is often eaten with a cold beer.

Balut is often seasoned with chili, garlic, and other spices. It can also be used in omelets or as a filling for pastries.

Even though balut is known around the world, it is still a common and affordable meal in the Philippines, often eaten by working-class people.

In Vietnam, balut is called 'trung vit lon' and can be found at street stalls or food courts.

In Vietnam, people often boil balut, but some vendors also stir-fry it with tamarind sauce and top it with fried onions and peanuts.

Boiled balut is often served with Vietnamese coriander and pepper salt with lemon.

One balut egg has a lot of calories, protein, and other nutrients like calcium and iron. It also has a lot of cholesterol and vitamins.

The worst-rated dish in Southeast Asia is 'hon mhai', a deep-fried silk worm dish from Thailand, followed by 'Ambuyat' from Brunei.

TasteAtlas ranks food based on reviews from its users, and it has a system to make sure the reviews are real and not biased.

For its list of the worst-rated Southeast Asian foods, TasteAtlas got over 37,000 reviews, and more than 26,000 of them were verified as real.

TasteAtlas says its rankings are not meant to be a final judgment on food, but rather a way to promote local dishes and encourage people to try new foods.
