Kwek kwek, a Filipino take on tempura

Uncategorized 1 Minute

COMFORT FOOD OF THE LOCKDOWN: A kwek kwek is a battered quail’s egg deep fried until it turns crispy, similar to Japanese tempura. However, the batter for kwek kwek is orange in color, giving it a distinct appearance. Kwek kwek is sold along side with fish balls, squid balls, and hotdogs.
