There’s a mistake. I didn’t want a refund on this . This an excellent product. You can see it’s almost all consumed . The refund I asked for was the defrosted and melted popsicles and ice cream due to inadequate packaging for frozen food. Otherwise everything was great.

Weee! If there is a balut egg, I will buy it immediately. The packaging is careful to not break. But the egg is a bit old.

Salted duck eggs! Excellent packaging, good quality, vacuum-packed! I've bought them in China before, this is my first time buying this brand in the US. They're quite large. The price is reasonable too. I'll definitely repurchase if they're good.
Xia Jiang
This is salted duck egg. I've only ever seen these in videos; they're not only large but also oily, so they must be delicious.
X1ny1
These salted duck eggs have nice sandy, runny yolks. The egg white is well‑salted without being too salty. Each egg is pre‑cooked and ready‑to‑eat right after opening. Great to eat alongside porridge or break over steamed rice. Some egg yolks have less flowing oil than others, there is slight difference between individual eggs.

Large quantity, cheap and delicious, will buy again next time

dizhao1963
The salted duck eggs I received today were a bit broken, and the colors were slightly different, but I've bought this brand before and thought it was okay.
charexxxita
Repeat buyer. This one’s a bit salty, so add tomato or sweet pickles to balance it out.
GKMasky
My second time to purchase this brand. We like it cause it’s not too salty.
imeevg095
Tastes so good and you can tell it’s fresh. Yolk is firm, creamy with oil dripping when sliced in half. Paired with diced tomatoes and boiled white rice, perfect for quick lunch/dinner when you’re feeling a little lazy cooking.
Nguyễn
The eggs look like the ones in the picture, with salty whites and runny yolks. They're great with plain rice porridge.
jennyzxh16
Salted duck eggs aren't very interesting to eat on their own, so I thought I'd use them to make soup, since there are many videos introducing Chaoshan cuisine.

I hope the Taiwanese-made preserved eggs taste good.
mommiedimples
Dragonfly Cooked Salted Egg has a rich, savory flavor with a creamy and slightly salty taste. It’s convenient to enjoy and pairs well with rice, especially when added to different Filipino dishes. Overall, it’s a flavorful ingredient that adds a delicious twist to meals.
