In this recipe, the unripe or about-to-ripe banana is the best ingredient for this nilagang saging na saba at bagoong, or boiled banana. It is perfect to pair with bagoong na isda; we call it ginamos here in Bisaya. We use it for dipping with boiled bananas. In Bisaya, we call it "nilung-ag na hilaw na saging parisan og ginamos". Boiling bananas is the simplest way to prepare them with no extra cost. We used to cook Nilagang Saba, or boiled banana, as a basic comfort dish because it's easy, wholesome, and yet another beloved merienda in the countryside. Minatamis na Saging Saba is the sweeter version, similar to nilaga. The saging con yelo refers to a dish similar to minatamis with "ice" added to it. The banana cue, which has been fried and covered with caramelized sugar, both banana cue and nilagang saging are frequently offered by street vendors along provincial bus routes, as well as on city roads and bus terminals around the nation, and both are reasonably priced, satisfying, and, of course, delicious, making them ideal to eat while traveling.
