Bola-Bola<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

First up, bola bola. In case you didn’t know, “bola bola” is really just the Tagalog word for fishballs. They’re sold by street vendors pushing wooden carts. <\/em>The balls are fried, skewered, then served with three kinds of dipping sauces: sweet (brown and gravy-like), spicy (white and vinegary), and sweet & sour (bright orange like sweet chili sauce). <\/em><\/p>\n

There are other bola-bola varieties, such as chicken, squid, and kikiam but we’re interested in the more bougie optons. Fish balls – but make it fashion.<\/em><\/p>\n

Tokneneng<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
Next is one we all know and love; in the immortal words of @PereaStreet<\/a>, it’s that iconic “orange na bilog.”<\/p>\n
Tokneneng is made from hard-boiled eggs which are dipped in an orange, tempura-like batter and deep-fried. A popular variation is kwek kwek. The main difference lies in the kind of egg that is used. Kwek kwek is traditionally made with quail eggs, while Tokneneng is made with chicken eggs.<\/p>\n
Let’s see how these restaurants class it up. How egg-citing!<\/p>\n
