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 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]
