Alexander Lee and Thai-American K-pop star Nichkhun want to visit Palawan; talks about their 'balut experience'

By Gia Allana Soriano

Sa kanyang pagbisita sa Pilipinas, isa sa mga natikman ni Nichkhun, member ng South Korean boy group na 2PM, ay ang balut. Ang balut ay isang "fertilized bird egg" na "boiled and eaten from the shell."

Nasa Pilipinas ang singer-actor kasama si Alexander Lee para sa upcoming Korean variety show nila, ang One Night Food Trip International edition in the Philippines. 

 

Kuwento niya, "[When I think about the Philippines, I instantly remember] balut. [When we first got here, I asked:] "Are we gonna eat balut this time?"" [The first balut I ate is a] really mature one with fur and bones. It tasted good, as long as I didn’t look at it."

 

Naikuwento rin nila ni Alexander Lee ang experience nila sa pabago-bagong panahon at ang traffic sa Pilipinas. 

Ika ni Nichkhun, "The climate, I think it’s rainy season, right? But luckily, when we would film, it would stop raining. But when we were done filming, it will start raining. It was really weird." 

Five hours namang na-traffic ang dalawa dahil sa baha sa kanilang pagbalik sa Manila mula sa shoot nila sa Pampanga. Pero kahit naranasan nila ito ay enjoy na enjoy pa rin sila sa stay nila, at ikinuwento pa nilang next time ay gusto nila pumunta ng Palawan.

Kuwento ni Nichkhun, “[We want to go there] because we went to Cebu. [Plus] we were stuck in traffic for five hours, [while the girls] were swimming [in Coron, Palawan.]”
