In the food context, "Banana Cue" (sometimes written as "Banana Q") is a popular street food snack in the Philippines. It consists of deep-fried bananas, typically of the Saba variety, which is a type of cooking banana that's firmer and starchier than the more widely known dessert bananas. These bananas are skewered on bamboo sticks, coated in caramelized brown sugar, and then deep-fried until the sugar coating becomes crisp and glossy. The result is a sweet, sticky, and slightly crunchy treat that combines the natural flavor of the banana with a caramel coating.
