Street Food I Missed Eating

These are the street food I missed eating.  I used to eat this with my friends where we were still in college.  I wish I can eat them again.  I don’t know why the food is better when bought outside.  Even the sauce, I can’t seem to make one like that.  Oh well, maybe dusts and pollution added some flavor to it, LOL.

The picture above is called “tukneneng” or “kwek kwek”.  It’s quail egg covered with flour in orange food color.  There is a bigger version that instead of a quail egg, a duck egg is used.  I prefer quail egg that duck egg though.

This is a squid ball.  I like this more than “kikiam”.  The last time I ate this was when I was till working on a shifting schedule with another company.  I can’t dare eat it again due to a bad experience and I would blame it on my work schedule, hehehe.  There’s a vendor near our office that sells squid balls at night.  I order four pieces and was about to put the sauce.  I don’t know what I was thinking that time since I put the water where the soup ladle is placed and I though it was vinegar.  I just realized I put that when i eat the squid and it was not sour.  Ever since I didn’t eat squid balls, but I think I am willing to eat one again.

This is a chicken intestine or “isaw” in Filipino.  This is really yummy maybe because of the dirt that was still inside the intestine?  The best one I’ve tasted was the one in UP Diliman.  If only it’s near our place I would surely eat once a week.

Oh well, good thing there are no vendors selling these kind of street food to where we live since for sure, I would buy one everyday.
