EN: kwek-kwek (quail eggs in orange batter)
The iconic orange balls of goodness you find on the street. It's a hard-boiled quail egg deep-fried in a bright orange batter. Partner mo 'to with spicy vinegar and you're good to go. The smaller, cuter cousin of tokneneng.
Onomatopoeic, possibly from the sound of birds/ducks ('quack quack').
Often confused with 'tokneneng', which uses chicken or duck eggs. Kwek-kwek is specifically for quail eggs.
