Dandupoy

Dandupoy is a traditional Filipino dish originating from the Visayas region, particularly Cebu. It is a popular street food and is often served as a snack or light meal. The dish consists of a small, round, and crispy pancake made from a batter of grated cassava, coconut milk, and flour. The pancake is typically filled with a savory mixture of ground pork, garlic, onions, and sometimes shrimp or other seafood. The filling is seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes a pinch of sugar for a slight sweetness. Dandupoy is usually served with a side of vinegar or calamansi (a small, sour citrus fruit) to cut through the richness of the filling. The dish is known for its unique combination of textures and flavors, with the crispy exterior of the pancake contrasting with the soft and savory filling. It is a staple in local markets and food stalls, often enjoyed by locals and tourists alike.
