One of those delightful Philippine streetfood is  the maruya, a saba fritter (plantain fritter). Roadside vendors usually sell this hot and just off from the kawali. This merienda fare is very easy to make at home that I made more than enough to share some to a neighbor.

After few minutes of frying, drain the fritters and sprinkle with sugar. That’s it

Somehow you’ll most likely come across somebody selling banana-cue whether it’s in commercial centers, offices, schools or in residential areas. This fried saba coated in caramelized sugar is such a popular snack countrywide.

Deep frying saba and making sure that the caramelized brown sugar is well distributed
