Mr. Duck Salted Eggs - Itlog Ni Kuya

Salted eggs may not be listed as one of my favorite foods but there's actually a brand that left a good impression on my taste buds. My mother once brought home a dozen of salted eggs that she bought from an officemate who turns out to be one of the dealers of Mr. Duck - Itlog ni Kuya. The brand may not be commonly heard from a majority of consumers but I am now among those who love their salted eggs.

Here is how Mr. Duck salted eggs look like:

Usually salted eggs are dyed in red but Mr. Duck eggs are white. When I cut the egg in half, the yellow core has a deep orange yolk compared to a hard-boiled fresh egg's. The consistency is soft and is very tasty that it actually melts in my mouth. 

 

I would order again if I was given the chance to pass by the small store (Itlog Ni Kuya) in Victoria, Laguna. For orders/dealership and inquiries on Mr. Duck Salted Eggs, you can reach them on the following details:

Seaweed Salad with Onion and Tomato

Looks delicious, isn't it? This premium seaweed salad consists of fresh seaweeds (not processed into laver - used for making sushi) mixed with sweet oil (probably sesame oil), dried chili flakes, and sesame seeds. I have added some onion and tomato slices as healthy garnishes.  I've had this seaweed salad for lunch as an appetizer and as side dish for tuyo (dried fish) and rice. If tuyo is not available, I would substitute it with salted duck eggs (itlog na maalat). from Mr. Duck (Itlog Ni Kuya). The salted duck eggs and seaweed salad go well with my tastebuds because of their salty-sweet taste combination.

To buy premium seaweed salad, you will find it on the Cold Storage Seafood section of your local supermarket in the Philippines. Here's how the package look like:

The premium seaweed in a package may be costly for an average grocery shopper (from Php100 and up) but that explains how delicious the salad is.
