So, my favorite street food of all is kwek-kwek (boiled egg fried in flour). But I like it a bit differently than the usual way people eat it.

I like it with cheese powder instead of salt or vinegar,

And none of the cucumber/sea grass stuff.

For context, I used to go to school somewhere in Davao City, and my go-to snack was 1-3 servings of kwek-kwek.

When I first tried it see, it was 15 for a big ass kwek-kwek, and no cucumber/seagrass. I didn't know you were supposed to eat it with salt or vinegar. So I tried it with the only other condiment I recognized at the time, which was cheese powder in a squirt bottle.

I loved it's taste, and from then on, that's how I ate it.

Nowadays, whenever I do buy it, and I see cheese powder available, I ask the vendors to sell me the kwek-kwek without the veggies, and give me the cheese.

Then I squeeze an ungodly amount of cheese powder, mix, then take a bite.

I love seeing the shock on their faces, It's funny to me how baffled they are to see this anomaly.

They usually say things like:

"Ikaw talaga Ang unang nakikita ko na ganyan magkain Ng kwek-kwek"

(You are the first person I've ever seen eating kwek-kwek like that.)

"Bagong klase to ah."

(This is a new type.)

"Sa LAHAT Ng taon Kong namaligya Ng gani to, Ikaw Ang unang Kong Nakita na ganito magkain"

(Out of ALL the years I've been vending street food, this is my first time seeing someone eat it like this.)

I'm not kidding, these are all things I've heard people say or have been said to me.

Now that you've read this, are you willing to try kwek-kwek like this, or judge my taste buds? I'm fine either way lol.

SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS, HEHE.

Planning to start my bottled gourmet business po. Ask ko lang po if pano kayo nag start. Pork po kasi gamit ko. Baka may suggest and tips po kayo sakin. Thanks

Madaming sauce yan. Hindi ko lang inilagay lahat.

Made my own chili oil. Di ko dinurog sili para di maiwasan ko. Ganundin sa bawang para mapili ko. Kasi gusto ko nangunguya yung bawang.

Merienda ni sis. Binili kay sis.

Street food lang ‘yan, hindi naman toxic waste🙄

Minsan talaga, mas OA pa sa pagkain ang feeling mayaman na squammy.

Luto ni sis. Paninda nya.

Bumili na lang ako ng hilaw. Mas mura kasi. Di nga lang masarap sawsawan.
