Shakoy (Cebuano: siyakoy; Tagalog: siyakoy; Hokkien {{zh|c=油炸粿|poj=iû-chiā-kóe}}), also known as lubid-lubid ("little rope") or bicho bicho, is a traditional Filipino deep-fried twisted doughnut. It is traditionally made with flour, sugar, salt, and yeast and deep-fried. It is then sprinkled with white sugar. Variants of shakoy can also be made with other kinds of flour, most notably with rice flour, which results in a chewier version that is also usually coated with sesame seeds. Dry and crunchy versions of shakoy, which are usually much smaller, are known as pilipit.{{Cite news |title=Shakoy (Twisted Fried Donuts) Recipe!!! |website=Savvy Nana's }}{{cite web |title=How To Make Shakoy |url=https://simplybakings.com/how-to-make-shakoy/ |website=Simply Bakings |date=March 16, 2017 |access-date=March 26, 2019}}{{cite web |title=Shakoy or Lubid-Lubid Recipe |url=http://www.pingdesserts.com/shakoy-or-lubid-lubid-recipe/ |website=Ping Desserts |date=September 29, 2012 |access-date=March 26, 2019}}{{cite web |title=Pilipit |url=http://www.kawalingpinoyrecipe.com/bread_and_pastries/pilipit.php |website=Kawaling Pinoy Tasty Recipes |date=November 29, 2013 |access-date=March 26, 2019}}{{cite web |title=How to cook Shakoy |url=https://www.pinoyrecipe.net/shakoy-recipe/ |website=Pinoy Recipe at iba pa |date=June 26, 2019 |access-date=June 26, 2019}}
