The Video Of A Man Recycling “Kwek-Kwek” Before Reselling Went Viral
A video of a man recycling “kwek-kwek” before reselling it, went viral after it was recorded and posted in the social media.
Most Filipino love to eat street foods selling by street vendors in public places. Street foods were usually sold in a portable food cart, food booth, and food truck. These type of foods were classified as finger food or fast food.
Dirty ice cream, fish ball, banana-que, kikiam, tempura, taho, halo-halo, siomai, binatog, iskrambol, peanuts, balut, bibingka, and kwek-kwek were only some of the most popular street foods in the Philippines.
Kwek-kwek or tokneneng is a hard-boiled quail egg, which was deeply fried in an orange batter. The term “kwek-kwek” was derived from the sound of ‘quail-egg’ said quickly using our local accent.
The Facebook page “Matalinong Matsing” posted a video of a man recycling kwek-kwek, which is now making rounds in the social media. As seen on the video, the man was removing the hard-boiled egg from its old batter and moving it into a new container for cooking and reselling.
