Itlog na maalat are salted eggs.
They can be made of duck eggs or chicken eggs. The commercial salted eggs are mostly duck eggs and always dyed red to differentiate from fresh eggs.

I first learned about salted eggs when I won it as a prize in a contest similar to an Easter egg hunt. I think I was just a 10-year-old boy then, and the contest was part of the Santacruzan festivities. Ah, childhood summertime memories!

am salivating here, i can see these are good itlog na maalat, look how oily and dark those rings around the yolk. PLUS - 3 for 20?!?! that's really cheap compared to a dollar to one here.

Really? Commercial salted eggs are mostly duck eggs? I did not know that. I thought they were chicken eggs.

Not a bad idea, but pretty funny these red coloured eggs.

c'est merveilleux. j'aime des oeufs salé. je me demande si d'autres pays ont quelque chose similaire comme ceux-ci? on les mange avec des tomates et du riz. essayez-vous les?

I didn't know that was simply the reason why salted egg has to be colored red - only to be differentiated against fresh egg...
Oh, I love this sliced mix with tomatoes!

I never realized these were duck eggs! I love these with chopped tomato, onion and green mango!
