Mekeni Kikiam Asian Flavored Fish Rolls

The name "Kikiam" itself is derived from the Chinese "kuy kian" (a type of meat roll), reflecting the Filipino love for incorporating Chinese culinary influences into local dishes. Over time, it became a favorite street food, particularly in the bustling markets or near schools, where vendors set up stalls selling deep-fried snacks.

How It’s Eaten

• Dipping Sauces: Like most Filipino street foods, Kikiam is served with dipping sauces. The most common is a mixture of soy sauce and vinegar, sometimes with chopped chilies or sugar added for a balance of salty, sour, and slightly sweet flavors.

• Street Food Style: When you buy Kikiam from a vendor, it’s usually served on a stick or in a small bag, often paired with other street food items like fish balls, squid balls, or hotdogs.

• Home Cooking: When cooking the Mekeni version at home, you can fry it until crispy and serve it with your choice of dipping sauce or even enjoy it with a side of spicy vinegar or sweet chili sauce.
