Shakoy (Cebuano: siyakoy; Tagalog: siyakoy; Hokkien Chinese: 油炸粿; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: 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.^{[1][2][3][4][5]}

These types of twisted doughnuts also have versions in different countries. Like the Kkwabaegi of Korea, Mahua in China and Taiwan, and Treccia in Italy.^[6]

Shakoy is often enjoyed as a snack or a dessert, and it is also served for breakfast.
