Banana-nana-e banana-nana-e…
If there’s one Filipino food culture that we love the most it is merienda. There’s nothing quite like an afternoon of munching down on some of the best Filipino snack staples in the country. We’re certain that most of you probably have your favorites growing up, and these might include banana cue, turon, and maruja.
As adults, these banana-focused snacks certainly feels nostalgic, but still yummy to have. So, if you find yourself craving these, we found these shops that sell banana street food in the metro.
