HOW TO COOK TOKNENENG

  How To Cook Tokneneng –recently I have posted a street food similar to Tokneneng but not all of us have known that food but instead some of us have known Tokneneng and vice-versa. Well, let me give you a little fact about Tokneneng and kwek-kwek. Tokneneng is made out of chicken eggs and batter but the only difference between them is that kwek-kwek is made out of quail eggs. Just like mom and daughter, haha!

Making Tokneneng is not that hard and this dish is recommended to those who do not want to spend much money on food because the ingredients for cooking Tokneneng are very cheap, just don’t expect heavenly taste because its just an egg covered with flour batter. This dish is also very good for the kids because it is healthy since it is made out of egg. I know few people who eat Tokneneng as breakfast and even as snack. My sister loves this food when she is watching television that she could even eat 6 pieces of it! I can’t do that. That is not a healthy eating habit. Alright, enough for that story, let’s gather the ingredients and let us get started. Here is how to cook Tokneneng:
