Shakoy is the Filipino fried doughnut made by twisting yeast dough before frying. It is usually shaped into a simple spiral or rope-like twist, then coated in white sugar after cooking.
The pastry is also known as lubid-lubid, a name related to the Filipino word for rope. Shakoy is sold by bakeries, street vendors, and home cooks, and it is commonly eaten as a snack or breakfast food with coffee or hot chocolate.
It belongs to a broad family of Filipino fried breads influenced by Spanish baking traditions and local ingredients. Shakoy should not be confused with pilipit, another twisted Filipino fried pastry that can have a different dough and syrup treatment. Recipes vary, but the defining visual feature of shakoy is its twisted yeast-dough form.
