Color Challenge: Tuesday Orange Street Foods

Below are three photos showing some orange colored street foods in the Philippines.

These orange balls are commonly called here as kwek-kwek. It is a boiled quail egg covered with food colored flour/dough. This is one of my favorite Filipino street foods cause it tastes good and can make you feel full with just few pieces. Also affordable at around 3 pesos each.

These are called Penoy. Boiled native eggs or Penoy covered with orange flour/dough. It is bigger than quail eggs so, just one piece of it could be enough to make you feel full. Depends if you have a big appetite or not. Common price is 10 pesos each.
Not sure how others called it here cause I seldom buy it as I prefer the kwek kwek. I have tasted it twice and it is delicious as well just like boiled egg with a flavored/colored dough. Vendors offer various sauces and mostly they have slices of cucumber as well for free for those who will buy kwek kwek and/or Penoy. You can also either eat on cups or on bowls covered with plastic for easy disposal.

Barbecue and there are options to choose from such as the Isaw (intestines), chicken meat and pork. Colored orange as they dipped or spread orange sauce/seasonings on it. You can also buy hotdog on sticks.
There are sauces options as well whether you like the sweet sauce or the chili one. Prices varies and it is usually affordable especially when buying it on the street vendors rather than on food establishments and restaurants.
