This is a tasty treat whenever we cross the Brunei-Malaysia border. I let my son Ivan taste it for the very first time. And look what happened? he seems to like it so much.
In Brunei and Malaysia, its called "tongkeng", in Philippines I think we call it "ewe". Scientifically, its "coccyx". Whatever, it tastes good anyway.
A stick of 4 pieces costs 1 ringgit in Malaysia (approx 14.00 pesos), while in Brunei it costs one dollar (approx 32.00 pesos). So what we usually do, whenever we cross the border? indulge, because it is much cheaper.

at first, i thought it was fried tokneneng! hehe. tongkeng pala. hmmm...looks yummy!
ReplyDeletetokneneng is quail eggs right? this one is "ewe" as in pwet ng manok :)
DeleteYeah, I thought of the same thing -- toknene that is. And if your son likes (who just happens to be a kid), then I guess I would find a liking to it as well when we try that out in either Brunei or Malaysia. =)
ReplyDeleteIt has become my favorite as well.
Deletesame here, i thought of tokneneng lol :)
ReplyDeletehmm I haven't seen this locally. great idea to indulge at the border, since the price in Brunei is more than twice the price in Malaysia.
ReplyDeleteAkala ko rin tokneneng. Hahaha. Is that the chicken's behind?
ReplyDeletecorrect . . . KC, what is tokneneng? no idea.
Deletethat cutie was indulging some tokneneng...cool kiddo! :)

Deleteyan pala street food nila. it's similar nga sa philippines.
ReplyDeletei also thought it was tokneneg haha! looks really good wonder what it taste like. :)
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought I was tokneneng but later to find out it's "ewe". Hehe. Thanks for sharing this, Gigi but make sure you watch over your Yani's diet, okay? Tongkeng is really very high in cholesterol.
ReplyDeletethanks for the advise chef. I only eat this whenever I am in Brunei or Malaysia :) can't find "ewe" seller nearby.
