Yovo doko

Another mouth watering street food from Benin is yovo doko. Yovo doko is a traditional Beninese street food that is also a national dessert. Flour, water, yeast, and sugar are used to make these sweet fritters. The dough is deep-fried until a golden crust forms on the outside while remaining soft and tender on the inside.

Yovo doko fritters are traditionally served at any time of day and topped with powdered sugar. Because yovo doko is very similar to the French beignet, a popular type of fritter made from deep-fried choux pastry, the dish's name literally translates to European pastry.

A lot of travelers highly recommended this dish as one of the Syrian must-try foods.
