As we were heading home today, we dropped by our suking eatery to buy our favorite pancit. While waiting for our order, my cousin bought 1 piece balot and 1 piece penoy. Curiosity got the better of me, so I asked my cousin to buy another penoy. I am an avid balot eater since I was a kid, though eating the sisiw was not really my favorite. However, it is my first time to try penoy. At home, after I ate some pancit, I closely examined the penoy. Hmm.. The penoy is marked with an "X" to differentiate it from the balot. I then cracked the egg.. Hmm.. No sabaw (liquid contents).. I then noticed that the penoy is similar to the typical hard-boiled chicken egg. The albumen (white part) tastes like that of the chicken egg, but the yolk (yellow part), tastes like the yellow part of the balut. Hmm.. Tastes good. Hmm.. I am thinking that I should go for penoy rather than balut.. At least no sisiw will be thrown... :-)
i didn't know that penoy doesn't have a sisiw, would have to try it one of these days :)
ReplyDeleteI still love Balut just for the sabaw haha I got disappointed as well when I ate Penoy and realized there's no sabaw but I was happy that there's no chick too.
ReplyDeleteWhat about penoy with sabaw? Now, that will be perfect. No chick to feel bad about. :)
ReplyDeleteI love penoy with sabaw! I used to like balot too but after seeing the chick... I'll probably try again one of these days.
ReplyDeletehi mga sis! actually, what i like about the penoy is that i don't have to waste the chick portion. however, i wish that it would also have the sabaw. it's one of the things that make balut-eating exciting, the sabaw. :-)
