Pinasugbo is a native confection from the Philippines made from thinly sliced bananas which are deep fried then dunked into dark caramel and sprinkled with sesame seeds.
Kare-Kare (Philippine Oxtail Peanut Stew) made from scratch. With banana hearts, eggplants, achiote, peanuts, and toasted rice powder. Must be served with bagoong. Seemingly exotic, but very comforting.
It never ceases to amaze me how magical it is when you taste something wonderful for the first time. Enter: Turon, a deep-fried Filipino treat that rocked my world...
