Mekeni Kikiam (Asian Flavored Fish Rolls )

Fish quekiam or kikiam is a delicacy which originated from the Chinese, this food is ready to be served after steaming, fresh from the cans or fried before serving (Embotido style). It can be served with soy sauce and kalamansi.

It is a popular street food that is frequently peddled by your local street vendor. But unlike the other street food, kikiam is more like a Chinese meatball formed into a sausage shape. Its unique flavor comes from the five-spice powder that seasons the mixture which also includes carrots, green onions, fish, and ground pork. It's all processed into a paste before being formed into the sausage-looking lengths we see being cooked alongside other street food such as the fish, squid, and chicken balls.
