Kikiam Classic

Kikiam is a popular street food in the Philippines. It is a delicious and crispy snack made from ground pork or fish mixed with various ingredients and then wrapped in a casing made of a starchy batter. While the exact origin of kikiam is unknown, it is believed to have originated from Chinese cuisine and has gained a unique Filipino twist over the centuries.

The filling of kikiam typically consists of ground pork, onions, garlic, carrots, soy sauce, and spices. The mixture is thoroughly combined and then rolled into thin and long logs.
