I love a moist banana cupcake. It is super mouth watering. And for me it is guilt free.
We used to bake a lot of it during high school for my culinary subject.

Speaking of banana.... I love bananacue, turon and combo. Combo is flattened banana, coated with flour and sugar. A perfect treat for a rainy day.

I've never heard of combo before.I've encountered a similar banana treat but it's called maruya.

I went to the La Panday banana plantation in Davao about 2 years back. It's a nice place to visit.

I also miss the banana chips from my dad's hometown of Pinamalayan, Mindoro. They're really good.

[jabberedonion]

I think Maruya is fried banana with egg! I remembered eating it during merienda time when i was little.

it's also called pinaypay in some regions

[phplover]

Banana is one of my favorite fruits too. It is found anywhere, everywhere in the Philippines. Like what the other posters said, it is rich in Potassium and can be very cheap. :D

[danaya]

I love Banana cakes. I know it's cliche but for me it is very delicious. I believe it is a must try for every foreigner. :)

[wowpinay]

I like fried Saba (banana) and I prefer Latundan over Lakatan. :)
I also like turon and banana cue.

[shyness]

i simply like boiled saging saba..
no special stuff to add on, just a piece or two of it will keep your stomach full for a whole afternoon

I agree. My friend told me that when she had to slim down, she just ate Saba. Well I think that's quite logical because if you eat only Saba, you'll eventually get sick of it.

Anyway my point is, boiled saba is really good and satisfying. :)

[chuchay]

i love those sweet, little, tiny bananas called "senorita":p
