Have you ever had Tokneneng, one of the famous street food here in the Philippines? Tokneneng is usually quail eggs (itlog ng pugo) coated with orange-colored batter, deep-fried to crispiness. Some may say it’s actually chicken eggs and they’re bigger, but the tokneneng I know and love are the small ones. I know how to cook tokneneng at home. It’s very simple, really. I mostly use sweet chili sauce with it, but I’m not that satisfied. The deep-fried eggs aren’t really flavorful since it’s just plain eggs, so the secret to good tokneneng is to enjoy it with rich, sweet and mildly spicy sauce.

| Â Egg Station at Victory Mall in Monumento |
My favorite store that sells tokneneng is Egg Station. We never fail to drop by their stall in Victory Mall in Monumento. I love, love, love their sauces. There’s even this one time that we took more sauce than we needed when we had tokneneng for takeout just so we can try to recreate it at home. *LoL*

| Different choices of Egg Station sauces on the side |
We discovered Egg Station one time when we were checking out the mattress salesin Monumento. I like their setup – you order and they have small plastic bowls covered with plastic bags for your orders. They have containers of sauces on each side of their stall. They even have this small table where customers can sit their bowls and eat away.

| Egg Station Price list |
Their prices are the cheapest I’ve seen. You get 4 pieces of tokneneng for only Php 10.00. You can order 1 piece of balutthat’s also coated and deep-fried for the same price.

| Â Egg Station sells tokneneng, kikiam, one day old chicken, balut, penoy, squid balls, siomai, etc. |
They also sell penoy, one-day old chicken (awww… poor li’l things *LOL*), kikiam, squid balls, chicken balls and siomai. They have available drinks, too, selling at Php 12.00 a cup. But, we usually just buy tokneneng from them with lots of sauce. Hehehe.

| Egg Station street food goodness |
I’ll try to recreate their sauce here at home and I’ll share the recipe with you. Might come in handy when we finally open our own carinderiaor eatery here at home.

| Tokneneng from Egg Station |
Do you have your own recipe of tokneneng sauce you’d want me to try? Please share them with me at the comments section. If you posted it on your blog, leave the link and will post it here. Thanks!
i haven’t tried eating tokneneng yet…i wonder, will that go well with rice (including the sauce, of course)? hehehe…am just a rice person, that’s why. lol.
yes, i think so ’cause i eat quail eggs with rice. i’m a rice person, too, sis! hehehe.
i’m sure this place smells like heaven!
i haven’t tried tokneneng–fish balls, squid balls and siomai lang ako.:p
Yes! Especially because there are a lot of food stalls around them. Hehehe. It really depends kasi sa sauce.
My favorite afternoon snack!!!
Thanks for joining FoodTripFriday.
Same here! 🙂 Thanks for dropping by! 🙂
Oh, I love kikiam sis! That’s my snacks during my college days. 🙂
My Food Trip Friday here
hmm… favorite ko yan!
Sometimes I wonder, too, why fishballs sold in the streets tasted better than the ones I cooked at home.
My Food Trip Friday post is up HERE.
It’s really all about the sauce. Still trying to recreate the best fishball sauce I’ve had from a certain manong in Monumento. Hehehe. Thanks for visiting! 🙂
Oh my this is so near our place. Do you live near Monumento too? We rarely check V. Mall because it’s full of pacute na guys and girls! Hahaha. U know what I mean. But it’s where I discover the Ice Scramble before it became a craze. Pinagcrave mo ako. Aaargh
Hahahaha! We live in Malabon and we usually go to VMall to shop for inks, etc. I also discovered Ice Scramble there from Ice Breakers. You from Camanava area? You made me crave for ice scramble din. Reminded me I’ll be posting about it, too. 😀
i dont eat kwek-kwek. i like the plain boiled quail eggs 🙂 squid balls— yummm!!! try the one from Odd Balls. Love the sauce. I usually see their kiosk outside SM supermarkets.
I’ve already tried Odd Balls’ tokneneng and their sauce. Egg Station’s sauce tastes a lot better!
Hi :)I’ve been looking for a recipe for Tokneneng sauce and I came across your site.Have you finally created your version of the Tokneneng sauce? Or do you know of any cheap Tokneneng sauce mixture? I want to sell Tokneneng in our neighborhood, and I’m hoping to learn a good and tasty but affordable sauce mixture.I stumbled on a few articles on sauce ingredients, but they are not telling the readers the exact proportions. Like, how many tablespoons of vinegar to how many tablespoons of onions and soy sauce, etc.Hope you could help.Thank you.
