Blogging from Home: Part 5


  Short greeting, hi.
    - Me

   This is a late one, but, I don't really care. Here's the 5th blog for the quarantine.

  
  So, me and my mum made this dish called, in the Philippines, kwek-kwek (the reddish balls of something). Though it sound strange and might even sound like something out of fiction and probably our imagination, kwek-kwek is a street food found anywhere in the Philippines. It's a boiled egg covered in a flour and salt coating deep fried in hot oil. They usually cost under 20 pesos there, or less even.

   As we cooked them, my mom cut up some cucumber and chili peppers to make the sauce for these. The sauce (top of picture) is made from vinegar, cucumber slices and cut peppers, but can be made either sweet or spicy. They taste very good, but I didn't even try the sauce, because vinegar is not a nice tasting sauce-of-choice.

   Short goodbyes, too. Thanks!

    Wow, this looks amazing! I don't know how much 20 pesos is in NZ dollars but I would happily buy a dish that looks this good. It reminds me a bit of scotch eggs which originated in Yorkshire in England, only these look better tasting.
    Well done for adding these wonderful photos, they certainly make your blog post more interesting.
