I love to prepare healthy and delicious snacks because I love foodies and I love to eat. Today I was thinking of something special to have merienda, so i tried my cooking skills in making Tokneneng. It's so simple but it taste so delicious. Everyone in the flat is craving a snack.
Tokneneng are boiled chicken egg, dipped in orange colored dough and fried in deep oil. It tastes best when paired with chilli venigar. Generally this is considered as a Filipino Street Food and sold on the streets.
