Erica Lim, a creative professional living in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia ended up with a big surprise after purchasing a duck egg from a restaurant. She knew the egg was fertilized as it was meant to be eaten as a controversial food called “balut”. Balut is an Asian food that is made from a partially-developed duck embryo, which is why the snack is so controversial. After purchasing the egg, though, she had a different idea and the resulting story is as heartwarming as it gets.
