Cheese Sticks
When me and my wife were not yet married this was one of our favourite street food, we always buy them outside the church we usually visit together with kwek kwek and deep fried squid balls. This street food is quite new compared to the others as I never saw this when I was younger and only showed up during the late 90′s. It is a simple deep fried spring roll pastry filled with soft cheese called quickmelt dipped in a mayonnaise and ketchup sauce.
Ingredients
Small Spring Roll Pastry
Quickmelt or Colby, sliced into long strips
Mayonnaise
Sweet Style Tomato Ketchup
oil
Method
1. Wrap cheese in spring roll pastry; make sure it’s totally sealed so cheese won’t go out when frying.
2. Prepare a wok with enough oil for deep frying, once oil is hot drop wrapped cheese and cook until pastry turns golden brown. Make sure oil is hot enough so pastry does not cook too long and absorb a lot of oil. Set cooked cheese sticks aside.
3. Mix together mayonnaise and ketchup, ratio should be one is to one. Serve this as the dipping sauce for the cheese sticks.
What a fun snack.

This seem to be a great appetizer as well!
This sounds delicious, reminds me a bit of the fried cheese at McD’s and Burger King. So when you proposed did you prepare a plate of these? It worked:)
These look delightful! Yum.
I didn’t know that its so easy to prepare and thanks for sharing. What a discovery that I learned something new today and yes, I like that these looks so crispy.
Cheesy, fried and dippable… I’m pretty sure it doesn’t get better than this!
Yum! And those deep fried squid balls sound delicious too.
This is a new idea for a recipe for me, excellent… warm melted cheese in my favorite kind of wrapper.. just addicting I would think! xo Smidge
You can never go wrong with cheese sticks!!!
Sounds awesome and so do the squid balls.
Street food is always the best and these cheese sticks are no exception.
Oh wow – these look amazing. I adore anything with cheese, and then add fried street food into the equation….mmmmmm!
Beyond perfect! This is my kind of snack…that dipping sauce sounds great too. Love street food.
its a nice quick snack, perfect as party food too
What they all said! You never fail to come up with delicious sounding things I’ve never even heard of, let alone tried, Raymund.
Nothing is better than street food. Street food carries lots of memories too! Your cheese sticks look mouthwatering and great with sago/gulaman. Thanks, Raymund!
we make this at home too!! since i don’t like mayonnaise, I just dip it in catsup
These cheese sticks really do remind me of mozz sticks.. but better
I recently made cheese sticks from our stocks of company gifts, Keso de Bola or Edam Cheese. I’ll have that posted in my blog soon.
Dear Raymund,
I have never seen cheese sticks done this way because I’ve always been eating the western style ones with puff pastry that is baked. You have certainly give this an Asian twist! Well done.
I’ve been craving cheese sticks- so nice of you to share a recipe! YUM!
I love cheese–those look so good!
Mmm these look so good- I’ve never had such gourmet cheese stick
Super delicious! I love cheese sticks and wrapping them in spring roll wrappers make them especially so
cheese stick is being sold in our canteen for 8 pesos per piece.. but it looked a bit different than this though.. ours is wrapped in japanese foil and not rolled in spring roll…
These sound delicous but very naughty – Mr Chipconnoisseur loves spring rolls and his cheese, I sholuld make him some!
