PHILIPPINES WILDEST KINILAW AND BBQ Eating Giant Coconut Worms In Davao

WHAT A SURPRISE THIS WAS! My local Mansaka friends in Maragusan suddenly took out a container of recently harvested "Batud".

Batud are coconut beetle larva or "worms" that can be found inside of the tree. I have only ever seen them in pictures, and did not expect them to be so huge!! This moment completely caught me off guard, but there was no way I wasn't going to give them a try!

Yes, I apologize for those of you who may find this unappetizing... but my friends prepared them into Kinilaw and Bbq.

Honestly?

THEY WERE REALLY GOOD!! Just so strange and wild to look at and experience for my first time! What an experience...

Power On!
