EN: kikiam
The OG street food before fishball became the star. That brown, elongated thingy swimming in hot oil, waiting to be drowned in sweet and spicy sauce. You're not sure what's in it, but for 10 pesos per stick, you're willing to take the risk. Best eaten with friends while standing on a sidewalk.
From Hokkien Chinese 雞捲 (koe-kńg) or Lán-nâng-ōe 五香 (ngó͘-hiong).
A popular Filipino street food. Often sold alongside fish balls, squid balls, and kwek-kwek.
