Tokneneng

Tokneneng is a tempura-like Filipino street food made by deep-frying orange batter covered hard-boiled eggs.

A popular variation of tokneneng is kwek kwek. The main difference between the two lies in the egg that is used. Kwek Kwek is traditionally made with quail eggs or "itlog ng pugo", while Tokneneng is made with chicken or duck eggs. Due to their similarities, the two are often confused with some people calling tokneneng "kwek kwek" and vice versa.

Tokneneng is usually served with a spiced vinegar-based dip.

The name "tokneneng" originated from the 1978 Pinoy komiks series Batute, illustrated by Vic Geronimo and created by Rene Villaroman. In the main character Batute's language, tokneneng means ‘egg’.

    I'm gonna tell you a well known story
    A sacrifice of innocents
    24 days of agony
    How a last dive, gave them no chance
    Somewhere in the arctic, the Russians were telling a
    Forgotten by the world
    In the rescue chamber, flooded with water
    A.D. had to die
    Hell awaits the enemy, somewhere in the Barents sea
    The system is failing
    Hell awaits the enemy, victim of hypocrisy
    The system is lying
    They will never come back home again
    And I've lost another friend
    They will never come back home
    They are the victims of a vicious game
    Commanders of the Russian fleet
    Decided to conceal the truth
    Somewhere down in the deep
    The wreck revealed, they could have saved you
    In a grave of steel, the truth was so real
    Locked in the shell, their own private hell
    One day we all will know why
    Hell awaits the enemy, somewhere in the Barents sea
    The system is failing
    Hell awaits the enemy, victim of hypocrisy
    The system is lying
    They will never come back home again
    And I've lost another friend
    They will never come back home
    They are the victims of a vicious game...
    They will never come back home again
