For those who don’t know what tokneneng is (perhaps they come from a
very wealthy family and the street food they know is the one that’s coming from
fastfood chains, or there might be foreigners reading my blog whose curiosity has
been ignited), it is a boiled duck egg colored orange and covered with
water-and-flour mixture which will then be dip-fried. Sold on carts along sidewalks, it has become a
regular snack of many.
And I’m one of those who have
fallen in love with this protein-rich delight. In fact, it has already become
my comfort food, giving me a jump in my heart and my taste buds some kind of
pleasure it craves for after a day’s hard work. Dipping it in vinegar spiced
with red chilli just makes it more delicious and undeniably mouth-watering.
Add to that the happiness you
get, not just from the food itself, but from that moment of eating it with your
friends who have also been looking forward to spending quality time with you.
And the best drink to gulp down
after consuming a mouthful of tokneneng?
WATER. (Burp)
