The Philippines are not generally known to be a major street food mecca. But they do offer delicious food. There are a few places on earth that can match the variety of street food choices the Philippines has to offer.

Despite its delicious kitchen, it is also a destination that can be a quite challenging food experience. One of the most popular dishes is Balut. These are 21-day fertilized eggs where you are still able to see the hairy duck fetus. This is quite iconic delicately but it does challenge your foodie fear-factor.

Another common dish is the Ihaw, Ihaw. This is literally translated to grill, grill and is a collection of different grilled street food which is placed on a skewer. However, this is not the grill dish you are used to. The Filipinos don’t like to waste any part of the animal, so they serve pigs’ intestines, from its ears to the feet, and head and heart from a chicken.
