Sweet and Spicy Fish Balls

This Sweet and Spicy Fish Balls is inspired from that street food but I added some twist and served it with additional ingredients like pineapples and capsicum.

Fishballs is a staple street food in the Philippines, you see moving street hawkers with deep frying carts peddling it on most of the city streets during afternoons. Basically it is sold deep fried and freshly cooked, consumers usually skewer them from the boiling oil and dipped in several types of sauces ranging from sweet, sweet spicy, sour and sour and spicy.

This dish is inspired from that street food but I added some twist and served it with additional ingredients like pineapples and capsicum.
