Nilagang saging, sometimes also known simply as boiled bananas, is a simple Filipino dish consisting of boiled saba bananas (or cardava bananas) commonly dipped in fermented fish paste (bagoong na isda, also called Cebuano: ginamos in Cebuano). The bananas are typically unripe or just about to ripen, when they are still starchy. Nilagang saging is regarded as a comfort food and is a common savory snack in rural areas of the Philippines, usually eaten for merienda. It is sometimes also sold as street food.[1] [2]
