I read the comments about the bananacue from Zamboanga and being a native myself, I often get confused about what Manila people call bananacue because the bananacue that’s sold here (fried, then cooked in syrup of brown sugar and water) is called “rebusao” in Zambo. Bananacue is manibalang bananas skewered then grilled (like barbecue, that’s why it’s called bananacue) then spread with margarine or butter then rolled in white sugar.

Anyhoo, I love maruya and in Zambo we often eat this with white sugar and ice cold coke! Ahh, good times.

i’m from naga city of bikol region and i looooove baduya!here in vancouver, i thought burro banana is like our “saba”. i cooked it baduya style, but to my dismay when i tasted it, it’s far from what i expected…i ate it anyway, no choice for a pregnant woman who craves for baduya…(T T )…

Jasmine, Lyna and Mila -i grew up in Zamboanga eating rebosao also and i cook it for my daughters here in Manila, they love it ‘coz its not oily like the banana que. just fry saba till brown, drain oil, melt sugar with little water till bubbly and thick, put back saba to coat with caramel then turn off heat, once cool, it caramelizes, azucarao as they say it in Zamboanga

Jasmine and Lyna, yes, rebosao!!! Love them when I go to Zamboanga. They are usually out of stock early so I seek them out right after lunch. Perfect merienda food.

my best friend’s mom is from Legazpi. When I come to visit she always has the fried bananas (plantains only in Dallas) ready for our merienda. I notice that the crisp coating doesn’t get soggy as the hours wear on-it is because of the rice flour batter. The last time we had it I made a coconut/caramel/rhum sauce to go with it served a la mÃ³de. It was heaven!

Jamine and Mila, my housemate is from Zamboanga and she taught me how to cook these bananas. She calls it Rebosao [not sure if corect spelling but sounds like it]It’s yummy, beats banana Q
