                                                    WHAT IS KWEK KWEK???????????




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 isawadidas 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.
