FILIPINO STREET FOOD- CHEESE STICKS ♥♥♥

http://www.kawalingpinoy.com/cheese-sticks/

Some of the best food isn’t necessarily found inside the fanciest restaurants. We don’t know about you, but there’s really nothing that can quite replace the hot fishballs you speared straight out of the vendor’s frying pan.

Filipino street food is humble, cheap, bad for your body, and good for your soul. It’s what a lot of childhood memories and friendships revolved around. It’s what your foreign friend needs to eat if he wants to get to know the country just that little bit better. It’s what you need to eat if you want to get reacquainted with your happier self.

It is a simple deep fried spring roll pastry filled with soft cheese called quick melt dipped in a sauce made out of mayonnaise and ketchup. Cheese sticks are deep-fried snacks composed of sliced cheeses wrapped in spring roll wrapper. This is totally different from Mozzarella sticks, but both have something in common: cheese sticks and mozzarella sticks are crispy in the outside and soft in the inside.Also, both tastes delicious and makes a good appetizer.

You surely have already tried out cheese sticks that are sold as street food. Have you ever wondered why this ‘finger-snack’ is becoming more commonly offered by small food stalls? It is because it is very easy to prepare and sell.

♦Instructions Wrap cheese in spring roll pastry; make sure it’s totally sealed so cheese won’t go out when frying.

Serve this as the dipping sauce for the cheese sticks.
