Turon is the Filipino banana and jackfruit fritter that shops fry in long rolls and slice to order, so the caramelised sugar crust can still be warm when it reaches you. The fruit is coated in a batter thin enough that it stays visible through the crust. It travels in banana leaf and is common on Christmas and school outings.
