A buñuelo is a fried dough ball that often comes with a filling or a topping. It is a popular snack in countries like Mexico, Spain, Turkey and Greece, to name a few. But I wasn't in any of these countries last night to savour and enjoy having buñuelos. It was among the new dessert offerings at Ayanna Garden Restaurant at Sheridan Boutique Resort in Oton, Iloilo.
After more than 20+ dishes that ignited out appetites, these buñuelos capped the gastronomic night with three other desserts. These fried dough balls were filled with bananas that even on their own it was already dessert. But making it more special was the dulce de leche which will certainly bring back the gastronomic memories - condensed milk in can that is boiled for around hours making it into rich "caramel". The joys of dipping the balls into a sea of caramel and popping them into one's mouth is one reason why "Eat's More Fun at Ayanna at Sheridan!"
