VERDICT:
WILL: Eventually, I am missing every small thing that was taken for granted when I am in the Philippines and food is not an exemption.
I miss street foods and I miss tukneneng. This is quail egg rolled on a flour then fried. The best part? When it was soaked in a vinegar with garlic, onion and cucumber.
Thanks abbey for preparing this. :)
