In the United States, eggs are sold at Asian markets. However, to get the right age eggs and to ensure freshness, it is recommended that they be purchased from a professional or an egg vendor at Asian farmers markets. Guinness World Record On April 10, 2015, former Pateros mayor Jaime C. Medina collaborated with Center for Culinary Arts (CCA, Manila) and the History Channel to attempt to set the record for the world's largest serving of balut. The CCA chefs, headed by Tristan Encarnacion, prepared 1,000 pieces of balut into an adobo dish that was recorded to have weighed 117.5 kilograms. The resulting dish was enjoyed by the townsfolk in a symbolic boodle fight, with tables topped with banana leaves stretching along B. Morcilla Street. The record was later awarded to Pateros, Metro Manila and to this date, the record still stands.
