BRIAN'S 100 Best '16

100 BEST ’16: KWEK KWEK at HOUSE OF INASAL

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2016…

Filipino newcomer House of Inasal had the end and the beginning of the meal figured out. You must start your feast with these Filipino street food staples. Tiny quail eggs are battered and fried and served with a vinegar dipping sauce that cuts the richness. They pop in your mouth to reveal a tender eggy exterior. So addicting. Price: $3.50
