Are the street vendors frying them now? I've been in the states since the late 70s. When I was a kid living outside of Clark AFB, the vendors didn't deep fry them.

I love banana cue!! But I was wondering sa Batangas kasi may nagbebenta nito pero sobrang bright red kaya nakakagana tingnan. How do they do that kaya - the bright colors of red?
