This gotta be the most entertaining balut challenge i have ever watched. I hope this become viral and gets hundreds of thousand of views if not a million. You guys have one of the most entertaining vlogs.

Haha thanks man, congrats on your channel growth :D
Man, you are becoming a star in the Philippines by trying everything local. People will start to follow your steps in there...even other foreigners will be impressed. Look at that, from 5k Dec to 10k March...
You're brave eating balut Alex!🙌
Looks like your having fun guys. Love watching your travel blog! Keep going and keep safe!
I love you, guys. You're both down to earth. Take care. GOD bless.
Ha ha! Alex, you’re now an adopted Filipino! Thanks for enjoying your stay here in the Philippines...
I like you both being honest about our food. I feel like going home in the Philippines. I currently live here in Manchester, England
I have been watching a couple of your videos and this is one of my favorite episode so far... Two thumbs up! Just subscribed :)
Good job Alex! Thanks for being a sport and going out of your comfort zone.
I’m glad I found your channel! 😄 great to know that you enjoyed your visits to the Philippines! ❤️
If you have time, or already left but planning to come back, try the northern part of the Philippines like Batanes.
This is probably the funniest Philippines vlog you've made, so far. It was nice seeing you mingling with locals. As for the balut, we usually say, "You really haven't experienced the Philippines 'til you've had a taste of balut," heheh! Looking forward to the next travels ... Bohol and Siquijor Islands. Take care! :)
Hey Alex! Congrats, so brave of you! I've enjoyed your videos, they're fun and entertaining to watch! Thanks Emma and Alex!
Excellent! Balut eating is just normal here in Philippines. Glad Alex/couple had tried balut, lechon and etc.. .keep up the good job guys!

This is by far your funniest video ever. Congratulations for just even trying. You were over thinking it. Just attack it and eat it. But we understand how difficult it was for you. Anything for the vlog. Your videos are getting better and better each time.
alex. this is so hilarious.. 😂😂
i cant even imagine eating balut and you just did. your becoming a Filipino... take care guys..
Alex. you are so brave. I grew up in the Philippines and I had a hard time eating balut for the longest time...
Travel Beans The used of kalamansi, chilis and vinegar and sometimes a soysouce is to make your own dipping souce, thats the purpose why they put it in your table.
I love watching your videos guys.. I always do it whenever i wake up early at dawn.. then i keep on smiling the entire time. 😁😁😁
We are so Proud of You both! Baliw actually is so nutritious and a complete meal in itself! It is like eating the whole Duck, on an Egg!
Been waiting for a week for this video ha ha awesome guys
hey just found your channel in my recommendations - we are also in the Philippines - are you still in Cebu City?
omg, I just realized you guys were traveling with Mark and Amanda :D such a small world lol
Hey!! Unfortunately we have left the Philippines (for now). Amazing, how do you know those guys? We bloody love them. We live in Bangkok so if you ever come through this way, that's where we are 50% of the time :)
we met them in Kuala Lumpur. We might be in Bangkok beginning of April - we will know for sure in a few days :)
I hope Emma's fine. This food tour must have been hard for her since she's a vegan. Nevertheless, another great video. Happy travels!
You are brave to eat the Balut Alex! Lol. So much fun to watch you eat it! Balut is actually not that bad. I eat it all the time whenever I get the chance.
It's fun to see you both enjoying what you are doing. God bless you both.
Thanks guys I enjoyed your vlog ! I definitely love lechon and will try it when I go to the Philippines 🇵🇭. Balut is a no for me 😊 I enjoy all your Philippine Vlogs so much because I learn more and more about it with with each video. Also luv it when you collab with other UA-cam ers as well ! Thank you both. Wha would you recommend for me when I go there I’ll only have about 2 weeks to visit but what is your top two or three places ? So long for now 👏👌👍🇵🇭🇺🇸
As usual, a very awesome video guys! :)
I'm so proud of you Alex for trying the balut.
Emma, the next time you're in a restaurant, order a "LUMPIANG GULAY" it's a spring roll vegetable. :)
Take care always guys. God bless. :)

I didn’t expect that Alex is so braved enough eating pig brain and balut! Hoot hoot hurray! 🙌🏼 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
Haha I still can't believe I ate Balut when I watch this video haha
Alex, you are such a good sport! Good on you mate!
I've eaten balut a few times as a matter of fact the first time I ever ate balut was in Cebu and I remember the shopkeeper watching me cuz she's never seen an American eat balut before. It's not the best thing I've ever had and if I didn't have to ever eat it again I wouldn't but I've eaten it at least 8 times. I love watching you guys keep up the great work. 💕🥂👍
Proud of you trying Balut. Hehehe! I can a eat dozen back in college. Before the cholestetol and Blood Pressure level added up. Lol
love you both.. very natural. pure adventure. when you will coming back?
eating balut for the first time is really fun to watch it's like a fear factor conquer your fear lol.
You guys are Amazing!!!
I'm a Filipino-Canadian. I've only ever eaten Balut that still in the early stages. Never the ones with bones and feathers. Salute to you for eating the feathery, bony, and, beak, type Balut. I was LMAO watching you eat it. Kudos and fun and safe travels.
This is awesome!! Thanks for sharing it and I'm happy you loved the foods here in our country. I loved eating balut, but honestly speaking, I don't like eating the bird inside, just the egg portion only hahaha. I'm scared eating that bird lol, poor bird... I need to closed my eyes if I'm going to eat that bird inside hahaha. Anyway loved this video so much and I loved to shared this one my timeline.
and there it is
Here's how to use the calamansi and chilis - pour the either vinegar or soy sauce (it depends on your preference) into the container given to you, squeeze the calamansi and drop some chilis into the same container and squish them... It is called "Saw-sawan (dipping sauce)...
Balut is a developing duck embryo that is boilled and eaten from the shell. is a commonly sold as a street food in the Philippine. It is a energy booster.
Hands up to you Alex! So brave! 😄Next time, Emma try ensaladang gulay or fresh lumpia.
Excellent Vlog, as usual. Never had calamansi lime and pepper with lechon before. It’s usually paired with gravy. But it’s a good idea. The sio-mai is actually steamed dumpling which u can get from any Chinese restaurant. Alex, the Balut challenge was funny. There’s another UA-camr from the UK, Dan Stevens, (EAP Films Official), who tried the Balut and he loved it! Thanks for the video, guys!
Thats so Awesome you found so many unique dishes! I dont think i would be able to eat the egg haha very brave man you are haha
Congrats on eating the balut! After eating Jollibee burgers and balut, you guys (specially Alex) have my respect! :D I came here after watching your videos, but the first one that I watched was about the "witches" in Siquijor! haha... Glad you enjoyed the Philippines - my country. Enjoyed watching your vids - I think this is the wackiest. You're the Jennifer Lawrence & Daniel Radcliffe of UA-cam. Safe travels and more power to you guys. Cheers!
All of us in the family were watching you eating balut and we were like laughing are a** out!😂😂😂 You guys are just so hilarious..hahaha and we really loved it.
Ah wow that is such an amazing image of all your family together laughing at us. That makes us soooo happy, thanks for your nice comment :D
Haha Alex that must be tough! You’re so brave trying the balut!
Great job for trying balut! 👍
When I was working in the Philippines I used to eat 3-4 Balut twice every month or whenever I miss it. It is really very healthy!
Oh, the Philippines don't seem to be the best place for vegetarians😀 I am still really looking forward though, the Filipinos seem to be so friendly😍
Honestly, no. Thailand, China, or Japan have strong Buddhist traditions, and thus have plenty of vegetarian cuisine. The Philippines is predominantly Catholic, so lots of meat and fish in everything. There are some vegetarian dishes, but they're not as elaborate as the "fake meat" of first world countries or the tofu dishes of East Asia. Mostly salads, breads, etc. But there's also a ton of fresh fruit. My recommendation is to look specifically for vegetarian restaurants, as regular restaurants don't usually have vegetarian options. The good news is that there are usually vegetarian places near tourist areas and in big cities.
I only know ,kalabasa with coconut juice, hmmm it's yummy and I'm not even a vegetarian..😅 but there are getting more on the menu now..you can normally ask them and they'll try and do it..but not guaranteed😃
it's a mouthwatering food..im stuck up north of alaska,
envy creeping my door!
Finally you guys try balut congrats.. :) I love you're vlogs ;)
Congratulations ! You did it!
Balut is awesome, I’m glad u tried it!
You surely are brave to have done that. That was some experience... Nice trying balut! But, there's still more!!! lol
It's just one of the many exotic and local dishes we have here actually.
Wow Cebu..I love this place especially the beaches..travel beans 👍👍👍
You guys are really awesome!
Balut is like 3 in 1 coffee, you have 1) flavorful broth, 2) hard boiled egg), and 3) a duck nugget. It also gives you energy and “stamina”. Best chased with the alcohol of your choice.
I hope guys you can visit dumaguete just near siquijor. Visit the " manjuyod sandbar"! The Maldives of the philippines.
Keep it up guys. Me and my family enjoyed watching your videos.
:D that makes us so happy. Thanks for watching
dude that was bloody epic!!!
Emma you should try these next time: tortang talong (grilled eggplant and cooked like an omelette, that is, if you don't mind eating eggs), fresh lumpia, talong (eggplant) salad, adobong kangkong, ginataang gulay (veggies with coconut milk) and ask specifically for ones with no meat, laing (the one with no meat), puso ng saging salad (banana blossom), in Cebu try the ngo hiong (like a fried lumpia but in a different wrap with bamboo shoots inside it), tinunuang gabi (tinunuan and ginataan means it has coconut milk), etc. These are just few examples of vegetarian food in the philippines. Just ask the locals and tell them you are vegetarian. You can even ask for stir-fried veggies with tofu in it. And for snacks you can try the banana fritters or banana cue. Enjoy!
What an entertaining vlog! The only vlog that I've watched that made me run to the toilet to spew out my dinner!
Haha um...sorry about that :D
hahaha That Balut challenge was a lot of Fun to watch...the trick is don't look at the embryo when you eat the Balut ..Lol....I'm just glad you made it because many years from now when you're 64 and play back this video you might say - Damn ! why didn't I tried it...
so funny! really enjoyed watching you
I live here in UK and watching you eat balut, I’m telling you once you got used to eat that you gonna miss it like u do..
Your the man Alex you did it!...that was fun..
The best laugh I had this week. Good job, Alex!
Amazing, comments like this make it all worthwhile and certainly made my day :D
Well done Alex, I'm proud of you! 👏👏👏
Hahaha very nice vlog! Just enjoy and have fun!!
