Kim Thao Restaurant baby duck egg

The BEST eggs I’ve ever eaten. But hygiene of the sugarcane is poor. There’s flies all over. I came during the least busy time, so the trash isn’t that bad.

You like exotic food but if you haven’t try a Balut then you are still a beginner in my opinion. This restaurant served a big and small balut from duck egg. The moment you cracked the egg and you might be scared away by what you see inside but after you took the 1st bite then it is not that bad actually. It just tasted like normal egg but without the egg white. The dipping source here is the highlight, it is salty and sour. You must eat the balut with source, is a perfect combination.

I went on the weekend so it was very crowded. You might want to go on a weekday instead. The dipping sauce here is a highlight, and the food is served hot and fresh.

내돈내산 The Hot Vit Lon here was similar to many other places. The sugarcane juice was fine, refreshing . The eating area wasn’t very clean which may be uncomfortable for those who care a lot about hygiene. It was okay as an experience. Personally the eggs here were quite young, which suited my taste. Not a place I’d go to often, but trying it once was enough.

Super popular balut spot. There are many nice modern and fancy restaurants on this street and you see this spot with many locals. There are some plastic tables and chairs and it’s like a true local experience. The eggs comes out on your table super hot and that’s probably why there are so many people because it just takes time for this to cool down to be ready to eat. It tastes good though.
