Duck egg...there's a baby duck in there for you to eat

Had to search that to make sure you weren't messing with me. 

Stomach's feeling uneasy...

 

[rhinosport]

I only drink the soup and eat the yolk.

The amniotic fluid and the placenta is pretty tasty... (although its not really a placenta, but kinda.)

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

i liked the embryo when i was a kid. not anymore. 

 

Don't do me like this

 

[kickhead23]

I've been begging god to allow me a way to stay out of this thread. My prayers have been answered.

 

[Thats My Word]

I only put pepper on my balut, maybe some hot sauce.

I'm about to be in LA for the weekend (8/14 - 8/17) and was wondering if there's any "must go to" places (from SF so not terribly deprived, haha).

Spots I checked out last time:
- Roscoe's Chicken
- Bruxie's
- Daikokuya (sp?)
- Gaam
- Urth Caffe
- Diddy Riese
- Random KBBQ spots
- Portos

Spots I was planning on checking out:
- Father's Office
- Kang Hodong Baekjeong
- Savoy
- Din Tai Fung

Any and all input would be greatly appreciated, open to any cuisine (staying in Fullerton because of its proximity to Disneyland but willing to drive anywhere in LA). Thanks in advance!

All great choices and you won't be disappointed with any of them, especially Kang Hodong and DTF. If you have more time and are into seafood I'd check out Slapfish in Huntington beach(and stop by the Donuttery as well for dessert) and also Bear Flag Fish Co in Newport Beach, great scenery...right near the beach and good food.

I wanna try balut but I'm scared.

The duck is soft. You won't hear the bones crack while you chew. The yolk tastes like normal egg yolk, a little more richer. And the amniotic fluid is salty but eggy

My uncle made me try it when I was a kid and I couldn't stomach it. Ended up spitting it out. Haven't tried it ever since lol

Also another place to try is Brodard. The spring rolls are excellent, but the sauce for it is straight Crack!

Bro... I had the Banh Dap my last trip to Melbourne in 2011 and I was like this is crack. Unfortunately, I forgot the name and all of my boys that are Vietnamese have never heard of it. I had to get it again this trip. My pops said there's a spot in the Bay that has it... I'm about to hit that place up after Vegas. I can't remember if the sauce is peanut sauce or something else. It definitely isn't nuoc mam.

 

[senor chang]

Brodard is good but the sauce was a little too watery than what I was used too..

 

[DJ Shift]

S senor chang My pops said Vung Tau in Milpitas has Banh Dap. Their bun thit nuong is good too.

S senor chang Yo, aren't you from Sac? I think I saw you post in the Sacramento thread once or twice. I forgot what place I went out for Vietnamese food at out there when I went to school in Davis but it was pretty good. I just remember it was on Stockton street. I need to make it back out there again for Oz.
