turon

When a turon does not have langka inside, does it deserve to be called a turon? I wonder.

I just thought about it this afternoon when an officemate offered to buy me one from jolly jeep. I was so excited since I have been craving for it for a month now. It was disappointing. At first I thought, the langka was just probably in the middle part of the turon. But I couldn’t smell it, the langka I mean. Often times when I eat turon, the smell of langka overwhelms the entire snack. So I knew for sure that there was no langka in it. True enough, to the last bite, there was no site of jackfruit.

Iba-ibang tao, iba-ibang hilig - - - Trina, my ex-officemate and goodfriend, would have loved the turon I ate this PM. She doesn’t eat langka kasi but she likes banana. A good jesuit friend just shared to me that he doesn’t like his langka with anything else. He likes it just by itself but when combined with others, he doesn’t like it anymore.

I think turon without jackfruit in it does not deserve to be called Turon. It’s just banana wrapped (in lumpia wrapper I think) with sugar coating. That’s it!
