You might be tired of eggs being boiled and scrambled every time you sit down in front of the dining table to eat your meal. Do you know that there is another delightful way to enjoy egg while adding a Filipino touch? Yes! You would just love one of the famous street foods here in the Philippines made of chicken egg- Tokneneng.

Tokneneng are boiled chicken eggs coated with orange-tinted batter and deep fried in oil.  Tokneneng is a very popular, inexpensive, easy to prepare, and extremely addictive street food found throughout the Philippines.  It is a perfect afternoon snack dipped in vinegar with crushed garlic and chopped red chili.
