Quail eggs in a bright orange batter, fried until crisp and served the way they are sold on Filipino street corners. Kwek kwek is the snack that makes a late-night order feel like home.
Kwek kwek is Filipino street food in its purest form: hard-boiled quail eggs coated in a seasoned orange batter and deep fried so the outside shatters and the inside stays soft. It is designed to be eaten standing up, with a dipping sauce and no ceremony.
We make them to order so they arrive crisp rather than soft. Add a portion to a bowl of goto, or order a few for the table when you are sharing on a weekend night in the West End.
