Banana Cue

RecipesFILIPINO RECIPESJul 25Written By Malu Bonifacio

Back in Manila, I always buy banana cue from the street vendor when visiting my lola/grandmother. The vendor is always at the street corner where she sells banana cue, kamote cue and turon.

Banana cue is simply fried bananas coated with brown sugar. Saba banana is often used in cooking this delicious snack. Since this banana variety can only be found in the Philippines, I used banana plantain instead.
