Banana-Cue Ole Saccharum
Finally made one of my favorite Filipino street foods! Banana-cue! 🍌
Growing up, I remember paying 20 PHP (about $0.30 now) for a stick of banana-cue and was always in heaven. Banana-cue is made with saba bananas which is actually more of a tiny plantain than a banana. If you’ve never had it before, it’s essentially a deep fried plantain (similar to maduros) but coated with caramelized dark brown sugar and then skewered with bamboo sticks and served to-go. Think bananas foster but with a brown sugar candy coating. These are so ridiculously delicious and crispy and might be coming to a cocktail near you ;)
