In hisfirst vlog after arriving in the Philippines, MobaZane was seen on the side of the road with his friends, trying to eat one of the most popular and most exotic Pinoy street food.

The 20-year old jungler was clearly excited while peeling the duck egg. He was even able to sip the broth with ease.

However, his facial reaction quickly changed from happiness to worry once he found out he actually needed to eat the whole thing.

“I thought you just drank it,” said the American MLBB star.
