King Kong is a traditional desserts made of cakes (made of flour, butter, eggs and milk), stuffed with a sweet, creamy filling made with milk and sugar, pineapple jam and sweet of peanut, putting in a cake among them.

People tell that in the years of 1920, the famous film King Kong was exhibited in the city, and funny people compared the mold and size (20-25 cm of diameter) of this dessert with the figure of great gorilla, calling it since then the "King Kong".
