I found this at the supermarket and did not hesitate getting a pack. I loved pinasugbu since I first had one when I was a toddler vacationing in my father's hometown in Iloilo more than 4 decades ago. Pinasugbu is basically fried saba banana slices dipped in caramelized brown sugar. Often it is sprinkled with sesame seeds to enhance the taste and texture.

| Wewin's special and delicious Pinasugbu |
Back in the day, I recall we usually bought pinasugbu from Lucy's, which had a shop near the old Iloilo Airport in Mandurriao. I think they closed shop many years ago but we bought from Wewin's upon recommendation of an aunt who said their pinasugbu was just right - not too soft, not too hard on the teeth, and not too sweet (but that's a relative thing, of course). Later, I got our pinasugbu from Biscocho Haus, which had one stop shops around the city and along the way to the new airport.
I checked again the next time I was doing our groceries and there were no more Wewin's pinasugbu there. Perhaps they will restock again soon? I will probably get a couple or more packs the next time.
