[[Kumukunsi]] is another similar native doughnut from the [[Maguindanao people]] in the [[Philippines]]. It is made with [[rice flour]], duck eggs, and sugar that is molded into rope-like strands and then fried in a loose spiral. They have the taste and consistency of creamy pancakes.<ref name="kum1">{{cite web|url=http://www.choosephilippines.com/eat/local-flavors/489/kumukunsi/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130818013805/http://www.choosephilippines.com/eat/local-flavors/489/kumukunsi/|url-status=usurped|archive-date=August 18, 2013|title=Kumukunsi|date=30 July 2013|publisher=ChoosePhilippines|access-date=29 January 2017}}</ref><ref name="kum2">{{cite web|url=https://prezi.com/1lza-8efa0kq/doon-po-sa-amin-kinikilala-ang-pagkaing-muslim/|title=Doon Po Sa Amin: Kinikilala Ang Pagkaing Muslim|author=Leslie Joyce Belais|date=27 December 2012|publisher=Prezi|access-date=29 January 2017}}</ref>
