Shrimp Balls
Tusok tusok the shrimp balls.
Something to add to the fried food parade of Manila: 1 peso shrimp balls. I am convinced, though it was not I who tried them, that they are almost entirely made of flour, although I was surprised to see bits of carrots and dahon ng sibuyas, as the common "streetballs" are devoid of vegetables.
Balls.
Batter.
And some kekiam and duck fetus, ready to fry to a crisp:
Bendy bodies.
