I often take pinasugbo for granted. Aside that I almost always ended up in a mess, I find it really sweet and often takes a toll on my teeth. But there are certain situations that I don’t wish for; it just comes at the right time.
A pack of pinasugbo from Deocampo suddenly appeared at home (who, when, where, etc still a mystery) and it just screamed to be eaten. So loud that in order to shut it up, I have to shove it in my mouth – lol.
Pinasugbo is made from slices of banana (saba variety) slice length-wise, deep fried and smothered with caramel.Then a number of these slices are packed in paper cones for easy consumption. But as the caramel hardens, it sticks to the cones and most often one might find himself eating a bit of paper.
But luckily a trick I got from one of blog’s comments solved this problem – just heat it for a few seconds in the microwave and it slides off easily.
That made me enjoy these pinasugbo from Deocampo that time. Aside from being of the best looking pinasugbos in town (tempting and neatly packed too), the caramel didn’t taste as burnt as others and the bananas were very crunchy not chewy. It was a delight having them that time that for a self confessed non pinasugbo fanatic – I almost finished half of the pack that time. Which I really did a few hours after – lol.
