Even the walking street vendors or “mga naglalako” offer this food. Banana Cue or Banana-Q has simple ingredients, not only simple but very cheap ingredients that everyone can afford. And one thing I really like about this dish is that it is very convenient to eat because you don’t need a plate or utensils like spoon and fork to eat this thing because it is served in BBQ sticks. I am wondering if there is still someone who does not know how to cook Banana-Q. Cooking this snack is very easy and simple. You don’t need to be an expert chef to make this food.
