My number one choice is Balut. Sort of like a crunchy boiled egg. You can find it with street vendors.   :thumbsup:

A little off topic, but my favorite street vendor snack is what they call "tempura."

Chicken Adobo, when done well a great dish to enjoy every day.

Lechon Manok, try Snr Pedro outlets all over the country, it is a franchise, pick one that always has a queue, ( gorordo ave, pardo )

Laing ( dried Gabi leaves cooked in coconut milk) golden cowrie on salinas drive

Sinigang. ( pork, prawn, beef, etc.) bitter soup flavored with tamarind.

Bulalo. ( beef knee cap cooked until tender, the tendons are soooo tasty)

Golden cowrie is cheap and cheerful a good place to try most of these dishes
