Its called balut or chicken eggs

Yummy I used to eat Balut English term, when I am in Ph. the sauce is good though there's more
proten in it.  How about you did you eat  Balut or chicken eggs come from the shells well those who's not familiar Balut or chicken eggs try find it or search this is exotic food.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Balut  in tagalog words eggs are fertilized duck sometimes chicken eggs that are at the stage of development where there is a nearly developed embryo inside. The balut egg then boiled and usually eaten with salt, just like a normal boiled egg.  Well in the Philippines, Cambodia and Vietnam and other countries  it is actually quite common. You can easily pick balut eggs up from a street vendor usually cooked, no need for a fancy restaurant in this case. Though in particular, popularity is increasing and you can now pick up your pre-baby duck in an Omelette or even baked in pastries.
Interestingly, the age of the egg before it is cooked varies between cultures. In the Philippines, the perfect Balut egg is normally 17 days old, the point where the chick does not have beak, bones or feathers. In Vietnam however, they prefer their Balut eggs to be 19-21 days old, the point at which the bones of the chick will be firm, but they soften considerably when cooked. In case it’s hard to imagine what a 17-21 day duck fetus looks like, here is a 15 day old egg floating in hot sauce.
