It's Kwek-Kwek Time!

By Chrysa Hazelene J. Sabuelo

                Are you bored, tired, sleepy and of course, hungry from long periods of classes? Nothing will satisfy you more than an egg coated in thick orange batter, deep-fried to crispy perfection, paired with either sweet, sour or spicy sauce and topped with freshly sliced cucumber. What’s it called? The Fried Orange Quail Eggs. Yes, it’s the Filipino favourite street food, kwek-kwek of course!

                This recipe has been present and available in the streets outside HTC campus and has long satisfied the growling stomachs of each Trinitarian who, after their tiring schedules, would head off to the nearby vendor to grab at least a cup of three balls.

                “Pasok kasi sa budget at masarap naman,” Irish Unel Gumilac, 4^th year BSA student said.

                “Nasasarapan kasi ako sa lasa niya. Nakaka-satisfy ang itlog tapos masarap din ang sauce,” Vanessa Sicilyenne Sabuelo, 2^nd year BSBA FM student said.

                On the nutrition aspect, Randy Mendoza, 4^th year BSCrim student said it has a lot of benefits saying it has protein and it’s good for the body tissues and muscles.

                “Actually nakakapalan ako sa flour pero gusto ko yung egg at ang sauce,” Recel Jay Arila, 2^nd year BA Communication student said.

Kwek-kwek only costs a minimum of 10 pesos per cup. Now, who would resist a budget-friendly snack that never fails to satisfy your famished organ? You too should grab a kwek-kwek!
