EN: banana fritter
The OG Filipino afternoon snack. It's what happens when a 'saba' banana decides to level up by taking a dip in some batter and jumping into hot oil, then getting a nice shower of white sugar. It's the cousin of banana cue, but with more flair. Perfect with black coffee on a rainy day.
Possibly from Spanish, but its exact origin is uncertain. It refers specifically to this Filipino dish.
A popular street food and homemade meryenda in the Philippines. Variations exist, sometimes using sweet potato.
