Banana Cue is a popular Filipino street food made from deep-fried saba bananas coated in caramelized brown sugar. This simple yet delightful snack is a favorite in the Philippines, enjoyed by people of all ages. To make Banana Cue, ripe saba bananas are skewered on bamboo sticks, then fried in hot oil until golden brown. As the bananas cook, they are generously coated with brown sugar, which melts and caramelizes, creating a sweet, crispy coating around the tender banana. The combination of the soft, sweet banana and the crunchy, sugary exterior makes Banana Cue a truly irresistible treat.
Banana Cue is typically served on the skewers used for frying, making it convenient for eating on the go. It's a perfect snack for any time of the day, whether as a quick afternoon pick-me-up or a satisfying dessert after a meal. The rich caramel flavor paired with the natural sweetness of the saba bananas creates a delicious harmony of flavors and textures. Easy to prepare and made with simple ingredients, Banana Cue is a testament to the ingenuity and simplicity of Filipino street food, offering a taste of home and nostalgia with every bite.
