Banana Q

A banana q, or banana cue, is a skewered deep-fried sweet plantain coated in caramelized brown sugar. Equally popular as a street food and as a snack made at home, it’s something that many Filipinos grew up eating.

A Filipino banana q can be pretty sweet, but you’ve got that lovely burnt sugar taste that coats the bananas and makes it so good.

Camote Q

Camote q is a version of banana q made with camote or sweet potato.
