I was on Twitter last night and there was a post by I-forgot-who with a link to a waffle photo that I wanted to eat off my monitor. The waffle was topped with slices of fresh bananas and smothered with maple-peanut butter sauce.

When I woke up this morning (okay, more like noon), I told Speedy about the beautiful photo and I said I’d make waffles and the sauce later. With a twist though. Instead of maple syrup and peanut butter, I would combine toffee with peanut butter.

But Speedy had a different idea. Why not pour the sauce over turon? Oh, my goodness, I couldn’t wait for mid-afternoon when Speedy would make the turon. And when he did, it was with a new twist too. Instead of the usual saba banana filling, he combined saba banana slices with diced mangoes. Ooh la la.

For those unfamiliar with turon, it is a fried banana spring roll with very ripe saba bananas and brown sugar as filling. In this version, this turon (banana spring rolls) with toffee and peanut butter sauce, no brown sugar is added. Instead, the turon is served with the toffee-peanut butter sauce on the side.

Pinsec frito, in a nutshell, is fried dumplings. The filling can be anything. Minced pork and shrimps mixed with chopped vegetables are traditional but you may use chicken, duck, turkey or even lamb. In fact, you may even ditch the meat and go vegan. Mushrooms make a wonderful dumpling filling.

  2. This is the ultimate of the most ultimate sugar high. I would need to take an extra dose of my blood sugar pill before i eat one , two,or three of this. I almost took a bite of the picture-so crunchy looking and sexy too with the chocolate dripping on the top picture. Of course you have to be the one to make a lowly turon a sensual and romantic dessert. Use your imaginations hahahaha.

  3. Connie, this is absolutely divine. I ate the turon after finishing my wonton soup…the recipe, of course, was from your blog too. It was comfort food to the max for a Pinoy living in the US. I have nothing but praise to your blog. Love it darlin…..

  5. Ooooh, I am so glad you’re liking it (I meant the blog and recipes). :) Thank you, all!

  7. I made the toffee sauce for the mango turon.
    Hindi pa naluluto ang turon—the mango still unripe—
    ubos na ang sauce.
    I used it as ice cream topping and my husband drizzled it
    on the suman sa lihiya.
    Perfect sauce even w/ out peanut butter.
