Dunkin' Penoy

WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT

Dunkin' Penoy is a business that I and my partner, Leo, own. It serves specialty street foods like 'tukneneng' or the fried flour-coated balut/penoy and 'kwek-kwek' or the fried flour-coated quail egg (pugo). Plain steamed balut/penoy and salted egg is also in the menu list. Our salted egg or 'itlog na maalat' is the oily type that most of the people who eat it are looking for because of its better taste. Some beverages are also offered like C2 grean tea and mineral water. It is a fast food located right in front of the tricycle station here in out place in Bicutan, Parañaque, Philippines. It is just near the SM Bicutan mall.

SAVOR

You can enjoy eating dunkin' balut/penoy/quail eggs (as what we call it) by dipping it into our special vinegar that I made. It's a little spicy but it's just enough for the common taste. If you would like to have an alternative taste, there is also the sweet sauce that I also made. You can actually sip the vinegar after eating the eggs and the taste will really drive you nuts.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

BALUT - nearly-developed embryo of a duck; fertilized duck egg; well-known delicacy in some parts of Asia, especially Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia and China

PENOY - infertile duck egg; stage before a duck egg becomes 'balut'; comes in 3 varieties - SP (Special Penoy), 'Tuyo' (dried), 'Higupin'(soupy)

How to Make Fishball, Squidball, Kikiam, etc. Sauce

This recipe is just based on the sauce that I've been making at Dunkin' Penoy. ;) And the better title of this blog could've been "How to Make Sweet Sauce," but what I put up is more specific. Got any suggestions? Anyways, it's the recipe that counts. :)

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup cornstarch
2 cups water
1/2 clove garlic (minced)
1 whole onion (minced)
6 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar
cooking oil

PROCEDURE:

- Mix cornstarch with water in a bowl until it thickens
- Saute garlic and onion in a pan with cooking oil until garlic turns golden brown
- Pour the cornstarch and water mixture into the sauted garlic and onion
- Add soy sauce and vinegar.
- Do not stir until soy sauce and vinegar is cooked on a medium heat
- Add brown sugar (quantity may depend on desired sweetness)
- Stir occassionally

You can also add sliced chili peppers if you prefer spicy.

You can also use this sauce in Lumpiang Sariwa. I use it as an alternative sauce for vinegar for my tindang kwek-kwek*. I'll write more about Dunkin' Penoy on the next blogs.

My Personal Journal

There are things in life you wanted to remember, but there are lots of them, you unintentionally forget. You may remember them if something or someone triggers it to be remembered. They say, you make take everything, but they cannot take your memory away from you. As for me, I made this personal journal to remember some of the anonymous things I wanted to remember.
Some may find the posts amusing and some may not. However, whatever comments you write on will be appreciated.
