Fishballs are the flat ones, the ingredients to make fishballs are fish, flour and salt and pepper to taste. Chicken balls are the round one they are made of chicken and flour. And lastly, "Kwek-Kwek" that's the orange one, it is just a hard boiled egg coated with flour and food coloring. To cook? easy just deep fry it and VOILA! you have your Filipino street food. YUM! To match is some vinegar and chili. *drool*
