One of the things that I miss in the Philippines is the immediate availability of streetfood type munchies. Since there’s no Manang here who cooks banana que, camote que and the like for retail, I even tried scouting from Filipino restaurants, I gave up and cooked my own turon (I don’t know the exact English term for this, would you like to help me? Heehee.)
Saba or any counterpart + sliced jackfruit + muscovado or brown sugar + cooking oil + spring roll sheets + frying with love, care and homesickness = yummiest turon in Abu Dhabi π

Yummy! I used to go to UST to buy bananaQ and turon. Yung malapit sa overpass. Masarap ang luto nila dun, amoy vanilla pa.
Ganun, ganun lang si Manang pero ang anak nya nasa LaSalle. Nagtitinda rin ng bananaQ at turon. : )

Nagutom ako!!!!
It looks appetizing. Namiss ko tuloy ang turon. Hmmm…I’ll ask my barkada that we cook turon this next Friday.
Have you tried apple turon? Masarap din sya especially with langka strips.
I don’t know what turon is in English: spring-rolled bananas?!

I can’t think of any English counterpart for Turon but I like its name as it is. Whenever I want one, I always go to Philam Food Mart in Queens,NY dahil palaging meron doon kada Sabado.

Hey, nasa Pinas lang ako pero seldom ko rin nakakain ang turon. Maybe because malapit kami sa school, madaming turon doon na benta,and nawawala ang craving mo pag palagian na.

Banana fritters? I’m not sure what turon is in English. Whatever it is, it sure is yummy. Parang ang lutong ng lumpia wrapper. Sarap! π

Like you, I’ve been vainly searching for turon in the Filipino shops here in Riyadh but the ones I found tasted awful and had more wrapper than banana. So, I bought the ingredients and will be making some for our merienda tomorrow!
