[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Tagalog kikiam or Spanish que-quian, from Hokkien, possibly 雞/鸡 (ke / koe, “chicken”) + 繭/茧 (kián, “cocoon”) or 鹹/咸 (kiâm, “viand; rice topping”). See also kiampong, tawkiam, Hokkien 鹹飯/咸饭 (kiâm-pn̄g) and Taiwanese Hokkien 雞卷/鸡卷 (koe-kńg), 肉繭/肉茧, 肉繭仔/肉茧仔, 繭仔/茧仔, Cebuano ngohiong, Cebuano tempura, Singaporean and Malaysian English ngoh hiang.
Manuel (1948) also notes that the first syllable implies "chicken", but the chief ingredient more often used these days is now pork.
