I passed by Salcedo market to grab lunch when I saw the stall. It's just a small table with stacks of tubs of chips with yellow and green labels.
Then I saw the sign... "SALTED EGG".
We had 2 tubs at home a few months ago. Shamefully, I admit, I was the one who finished them all... ran my fingers around the rim to get every bit of potato, chili, basil, and salted egg. If my tongue was long enough, I'd lick the tub clean.

I haven't tried any other salted egg chips brand except for House of Crisps. I've heard of Singaporean brands, but my friend told me House of Crisps was better than the Singaporean one. I saw another brand in the mall for 295php but it didn't have as much salted egg in it. With House of Crisps, the bottom of the tub still has salted egg drippings.

After finishing a third of the tub, the nape of my neck started to hurt (sumakit batok ko). I guess I had too much too quickly.
The next day, I brought the remainder for my friends. We finished it all in less than 10 minutes. One didn't like salted egg (*gasp*). One said it tastes potatoey-er and salted-eggier than the other one they had. Even my friend who just had her braces tightened ate a lot, even though her teeth were in pain!
It's so rich and fattening, not to mention expensive... It's not good to fuel my addiction, so I probably wouldn't be getting another one too soon unless there's a special occasion.
I can't say yet that this is the best out there, because I haven't tried any other brand. However, I'd say my bar for salted egg chips is pretty high considering my first try was House of Crisps.

UPDATE: I bought again today. This time, 2 tubs for the family (I swear, it's not all for me!). Here's a close up of the chip with my greasy fingers.
