Salted duck egg, best known as 'Itlog na Maalat' is a common feature on every Filipino dining table especially at breakfast. It can be eaten alone or with steamed rice and vegetables such as tomato and onions. It is also used to garnish pastries like the all-time favorite 'Enseymada' or as a filler for 'Siopao'. Its preparation is so easy and may be summed up in four words: "Brine egg and Wait".
