This reminds me of scotch eggs. The spicy vinegar dip sounds like a good match to these eggs.
thanks for sharing this recipe! i haven't tried tokneneng before! :(
Everything is better deep fried, right?? ;) These sound fantastic--never tried something like this before!
That vinegar dip sounds delicious to me, it would be great with spring rolls too I bet!
This is such a wonderful deep fried dream :). And I have a HUGE smile on my face from this recipe my friend :)
Ahhh.... so there is baking powder in the batter...
Yup there is! it gives a bit of lightness to the batter.
Thanks for visiting my blog :)
it's like 'kwek-kwek' - the method is essentially the same, but it uses quail eggs. :D
Those look absolutely delicious.
I've never heard of nor enjoyed this before, but I'm sure I would. Cheers!
Now this is my kind of street food! I love vinegar and matched with deep fried eggs sounds out of this world good. :)
