Unlike balut that can be intimidating even to Filipinos, Banana Q (or cue) isn’t scaring anyone away. It’s a skewered deep-fried sweet plantain coated in caramelized brown sugar. Equally popular as a street food and as a snack made at home, it’s something that many Filipinos grew up eating.

The bananas used to make banana q are called saging na saba or saba bananas. They’re frequently used in Filipino cooking to make desserts like turonhalo-halo, minatamis na saging (banana with caramel sauce), and maruya (banana fritter). They’re even used to add sweetness to savory dishes like arroz a la cubana and pochero.

This may sound odd to some westerners, but we Filipinos have a type of ketchup made with saba bananas. Called banana ketchup, it’s a sweetened version of regular ketchup that was invented during WWII due to a lack of tomatoes. Today, it’s arguably more popular than tomato ketchup and is a perfect condiment to oily, deep-fried foods.


Kamote q is a version of banana q made with camote or sweet potato.

Expect to pay: 10php to 15php per stick
