Have you heard kwek-kwek? I know most of the Filipinos are familiar with it in fact most of them will say its their favorite snacks. It is a quail egg coated with flour and orange food coloring, a very famous street food in Manila, I can eat 8 pieces in a day. It is one of my favorites. You can dip it in a sweet & sour sauce, sweet sauce, spicy sauce, or vinegar! Everyday this is sold out in the mall, the malls closes at 9PM but kwek-kwek is sold out before or exactly at 8pm! It is a favorite snacks of the locals of Manila. Lol! How about you

This is one of the street foods I do not eat. Do not ask me why, I do not know too. I just cannot find the joy of eating batter coated hard boiled eggs dipped in vinegar sauce

I also do not like isaw (chicken intestines), betamax, chicken feet

@luisadannointed I just don't eat it. I eat barbeque, bananaque, siomai. I cannot find joy in eating kwek kwek.

I preferred hard boiled eggs
