My current afternoon snack - bananacue mom brought home. One of my favorite local delicacies. Yuuuum! And yes I happen to have a sweet tooth.  I can't avoid it.  It's in my Filipino blood.

Bananacue is a classic Filipino merienda (snack) you can usually buy from street vendors in the early afternoon. It is made out of fat bananas called “saba,” which is covered in brown sugar before being placed into a deep fryer. Once fried, the banana gets skewered onto a stick. The heat softens the banana while caramelizing the sugar, giving the banana a delicious, gooey texture within the crunchy coat of caramel. - from pinoyfood website
