Turon 2 go, a new take on this Pinoy snack
September 28th, 2009 | No Comments
The typical Filipino turon is ripe saba banana with a sliver of jackfruit inside it and then wrapped in lumpia wrapping. It is then cooked with brown sugar that the end result is a crispy, sweet and delicious snack with the caramelized sugar coating all over. It sells from P10 – P12 per piece.
Now comes turon 2 go that tries to improve this humble snack. Does it succeed? Well, the only difference is that there’s the packaging as well as the sweet filling of chocolate (at P16) and other fruit flavors of banana, strawberry, mango, orange and pineapple (sells at P18 a piece) which is then injected at point of sale. These are sold at small mall spaces. Is it worth it? For the price, perhaps, its a bit overpriced but I do like the addition of a sweet sauce. Not filling though compared to the typical turon.

From her Facebook account:
“buti n lng am hir in dubai! maybe so many sinners bak der! so yeah deserving wat hapend!”
I just checked her multiply site and hate comments on her supposed idiotic remarks on the Ondoy devastation is reaching 10,000! If true, this Dubai OFW is really pathetic. Reading from the comments, one can just feel the outrage to this insensitivity. There are even Facebook group with 6,000+ members dedicated to her.
Nakapunta lang ng abroad, asal baboy na?

First there was the Cineuropa featuring several films from the European Union. This was followed by the Korean Film Festival, which is ongoing until Tuesday in time for the Korean – Philippine Friendship week. By 1 October, Pelikula, the 8th Spanish Film Festival will start until the 11th! By the way, the last film festival charges P65 per movie in three venues. The other two were free.
This should keep me busy
