Kwek-kwek<\/strong> are a popular Filipino street food made of quail eggs coated with an orange batter and deep-fried to golden perfection. They're fun to eat and delicious with spicy vinegar or a special dipping sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Kwek-Kwek<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I posted my version of these battered quail eggs in 2013, but I learned a new (and better) way to make them during one of my trips to the Philippines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went on a street food spree with a couple of friends in our city downtown, and we had our fill of fish balls<\/a>, inihaw pork ears<\/a>, adidas, and of course, tokneneng and kwek-kwek. I am not sure if it was the thrill of eating on the street, but everything we tried was fantastic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, the vendor was easy to bribe with kind words. I said the kwek-kwek was the best I had ever tasted, and she eagerly parted with her trade secrets, which I happily took notes of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
