Manila Guide Online

If I could clearly recall, the kwek kwek called some attention in a teleserye for kids, Captain Ingo. It was always featured in the film as their favorite snack. Kwek today has can be found almost anywhere in the streets. It is made of quail eggs, covered with orange dressing. It is very yummy, and can be used as you snack if you’re in a hurry.

Today, I recently discovered the recipe to this delightful snack.

From Wazzup Manila:

Made of quail eggs deep-fried in flour, Kwek kwek is a cheap and filling snack especially for those in a hurry. However, quail eggs are said to contain lots of cholesterol, so be careful when snacking on kwek kwek. Eat in moderation especially if you already have a cholesterol problem.

Ingredients:

• 1 dozen quail eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
• 1 cup of flour
• Cooking oil
• Few drops of orange food coloring
• Salt and pepper

How to Cook:

1. Coat the eggs with ¼ cup of flour by placing them in a sealed plastic bag. Shake the bag until the eggs are evenly coated.
2. In a bowl, mix all the remaining ingredients, except for the cooking oil. Stir the mixture using a fork until the batter is smooth.
3. Put the coated eggs in the batter. Heat cooking oil in a deep pan. Spoon out the quail eggs from the batter and fry them in oil. Wait until the orange coating turns crispy. This will take around a minute or so.
4. Serve hot with vinegar with siling labuyo.

And there you have it. Enjoy fun filled snacks with some cheap thrills that are worth every penny.
