Kwek-kwek, a popular Filipino street food

[freelancermaria]

Kwek-kwek is my favorite Filipino street food. They are fried hard-boiled quail eggs in oil. They are dipped in an orange batter and served with a sweet or vinegar dipping sauce. They are delectable! They are sold on the street by street vendors. The other one is called siomai or dumplings. They are not regarded a street food, but they are also sold on the streets, at times. What is your fave street food?

Although, I don't like buying food on the street. Here, I present to you Akara, Puff Puff and Doughnuts (donuts)

In my country those foods are called "koker, kuskusa and bonbolino" and they are available on the street and also in the pastry shops. of course the pastry shops bit higher price than the street but more sanitary and healthy.

It's interesting to know you have that in your country too. Well when it comes to pastry, countries can share the same or close recipe. But I bet they taste great. You are right, it's costlier in the pastry shops.

Yeah, most of the times foods sold in pastry have similarity, and yeah they have bit higher price than the foods in the street.
