Translations:Filipino cuisine/139/en

There is a distinct range of street food available in the Philippines. Some of these are skewered on sticks in the manner of a kebab. One such example is banana-cue, a whole banana or plantain skewered on a short thin bamboo stick, rolled in brown sugar, and pan-fried. Kamote-cue is a peeled sweet potato skewered on a stick, covered in brown sugar and then pan-fried. Fish balls or squid balls, including calamares, are also pan-fried, then skewered on bamboo sticks and given to the customer, who then has a choice of dipping in a sweet or savory sauce. These are commonly sold frozen in markets and peddled by street vendors.
