Street Food: Lumpia and Kwek-Kwek

Lumpia and kwek-kwek

Streetfoods like fishballs, tempura, lumpia, kwek-kwek and other fried foods have always appealed to me. Photo by Iman.


I have always liked street food. When there is somebody with a cart peddling something fried, I would be sure to look at it. Among my favorites are fishball, tempura, lumpia, kwek-kwek, and cheese sticks covered with cheese powder on the outside. Love!

When my husband and I were still dating, we put up a fishball cart as our business. It seems that everyday, I ate of the fishball and tempura that we sold. No wonder then that I gained so much weight at that time! LOL I know they are just made of empty calories—carbs and saturated fat. There is hardly any nutrients in them and the preparation at the factory might be questionable. But what can I do? They just taste so good!!! hahaha

Now, I want fishballs!

  4. Fishball is my favorite street food. I want my sauce sweet as well as spicy. Too bad I don’t always see the vendor pass our street.
