Gosh, Marketman! You really know how to make us non-residents of Manila feel so terribly homesick! I can almost feel the smell of the turon and the distinct aroma of the langka and the crispiness of the first bite. ohhhhhhh!

I love turon so much!! And banana cue, maruya, minatamis na saging, guinataang bola bola with saba, palitaw and more. Ang takaw ko no!!

We used to have turon for merienda after school. I loved the crunchy caramelised wrapper! And since I simply adore langka, it’s inclusion in turon just made my afternoons 10x better. Too bad I can’t make it often in Sydney as the bananas are inferior to Philippine bananas, not to mention langka isn’t readily available. :(( I wish Customs/Quarantine will finally allow the importation of Philippine bananas. The supply here can’t cope with the demand, and just yesterday bananas were $3.99/kg (PHP160/kg)!!!

Our neighborhood turon vendor was able to send her four kids from grade school up to college just by selling banana turon! Up to now her stall is always full of customers come merienda time, yummy kasi!

One of my favorite afternoon snacks. Chinese Restaurant P.F. Changs have a fancy dessert of turon sans langka, but comes with a dollop of vanilla ice cream and garnished with fresh raspberries.

I am partial to the turon with langka from Malvar St where Toping probably got hers back in her college years. I wonder if we ever bumped into each other at the same stall back then, hmmmmmm.

i like turon with cheese. the cheap supermarket hydrogenated vegetable oil filled type seems to go extremely well with turon. just a little of course. (i would think parmesan should work well too) langka i like eating frozen. and for the saging na saba, i quite like the cuban tostones style prep of twice frying, salting then serving with green salsa.

I like mine cheese turon! Instead of adding langka, I like adding strips of cheese to the sugar-coated banana before wrapping it. The cheese balances the sweetness of the banana and sugar. I like it when it’s still hot and the cheese melts. You should try it!
