Kwek-kwek (or Kwekwek) is a kind of food commonly sold along the streets of Manila and many other places in the Philippines.
It is made up of hard-boiled chicken eggs individually wrapped in
orange-tinted batter, which are then fried until golden brown. There is
another version of the kwek-kwek called the tokneneng (or tuknene) which uses quail eggs instead of chicken eggs. Kwek-kwek , as well as other street foods such as isaw, adidas and fish balls, are very popular with the students, professors and virtually everyone else in the University of the Philippines, Diliman
campus. Even the places inside the campus where these are sold, like
the vacant lot in front of Kalayaan Dormitory and the Ilang-ilang
Dormitory, have become known hangouts of hungry UP students, attracting
even people from neighboring universities who are looking for a quick
bite to satisfy their street food craving.
