Turon is a common dessert or snack food in the Philippines. Many “Street Food” Vendors also sell it because it’s popular among Pinoys. There are two ways you can buy this in the Philippines; one where a Bamboo skewer is holding it and the other, where no skewer is used and your hands hold the entire turon to eat but if you want to prepare something you’re sure is cleaner and just the right amount of sweetness, try this Banana Lumpia Recipe (Turon) to serve to your hungry guests. Foreigners are also attracted to the dessert because it’s not really common in their countries so this dish is something every Pinoy should be proud of.

Banana Lumpiang Turon

While this dish is the most common version, nowadays, Pinoys have come up with ways to level up the Turon. Some add Cheese and Coconut or Ube Malagkit and some even prepare dips for this already sweet dessert. In some instances, you’ll see Turon as topping on Ice Cream specials or beautifully presented on a plate like a Gourmet dessert complete with Chocolate or Caramel Sauce. But the best version of the dish is always the original because it’s when you taste all the good flavors of the Sugar, Jackfruit and the Banana.
