MANILA, Philippines – “It tastes like an egg,” world’s famous magician David Blaine said as he ate balut with Sarangani Rep. Emmanuel “Manny” Pacquiao.
After showing his magician skills to the people’s champ, David Blaine was challenged to eat balut. He accepted the challenge, and everyone in the room felt excited to see his reaction upon tasting the exotic delicacy. Blaine appeared a little shocked when he saw the chick inside the shell, but he ate it anyway as if he was used to its taste.
Following the balut challenge was the durian challenge, which he did, picking the fruit with his bare hands. To his delight, he said that the durian tastes like mango.
