Eggs can't get any more Filipino than this... they're red... and yes, they're salty. Always a welcome attraction in every breakfast... mixed with chopped onions and tomatoes, it delights every Pinoy every morning when enjoying their tuyo or daing na bangus!
Some love the whites.... i love the yolk....
They say that the best itlog na maalat hails from Pateros.... and when I saw this at Tiendesitas last week, I grabbed a pack right away. And, what they say is oh so true.
i prefer the yolk too!:)

ReplyDeleteoh i miss itlog na maalat! iba ang salted egg dito. nakabalot sa mud and maitim. itlog maalat with tomatoes, daing, and sinangag with bawang! yum yum!
ReplyDeleteshalum, my husband and i are a prefect combination when it comes to itlog na maalat... he likes the white part, i get the yolk... yey! everyone is happy! hahaha...
ReplyDeletesyel, dapat nag hoard ka na before going back there... ;-) mud and maitim, century egg ba yan? masarap din yan diba? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI would like to say I prefer the yolk or the white... but I can't! I like 'em both!
ReplyDeleteI tried making them by immersing them in a solution of salt and water for 2-3 weeks and hardboiling them when ready. I adjust the saltiness to my taste by varying the number of days it is immersed. However, I can't figure out how to make the edges of the yolk a little gooey. Pero OK na rin.
ReplyDeletedoc, hindi century egg, iba din presentation nila. basta nasa mud pa talaga na kelangan mo linisin before i-peel off ang shell. masarap din kaso matrabaho eh! :D
ReplyDeletegwacie, swak with tomatoes no!
ReplyDeletebertN, galing naman! homemade salted eggs! i know what you mean, yung parang nago-oil sa yolk... sarap yan...
syel, i havent seen one like that... pasalubungan mo ako next time ha. hehehe...
Are these the oily type? My tita says that you need to sample salted eggs before buying a batch. Sometimes I can 10 batches before choosing what I really like.
ReplyDeletewyatt, these were packed na in 6. hindi ma sample. but i was confident they were oily, kasi nga from pateros. theyre supposed to make the best red eggs. and true enough, they were oily.
