Protect yourself and your loved ones - get vaccinated!

Carmina went to do her two weeks grocery on March 25, 2025, at Landers Balintawak branch. Upon entering the store near the pharmacy there was a sign posted saying to register for vaccines that will be held on April 12, 2025. Carmina called up Becky asking if she is interested remembered to look out for the flu shot. Becky said yes and asked her to give me full name, birthdate and phone number contact information. Carmina also called up Mom Violy said alright and still faraway to decide.  Carmina felt Mom Violy should get the flu shot since we'll be traveling to California upcoming vacation. Two years ago, when we went to California got sick and that time it was covid season. I just wanted to protect myself even though hardly get sick in the Philippines. Two days before our flu vaccine received a SMS on our mobile phone number to confirm if we are going to get our flu shot. I had responded said yes.

Filipino Turon Recipe


When I use to live in California my family and close friends would always request me to make them turon which is like a lumpia, but has banana, jack fruit and brown sugar inside.

This is a very easy Filipino dessert that is very easy and simple to make. I learn to make a lot and store it in a Tupperware with wax paper and place it in a freezer. 

When you decide to have an unexpected guest come over you can easily fry it when they are at your home.

Ingredient for those who don't live in the Philippines:
  • 1 - Package of frozen lumpia wrapper (can be found in the Asian Store in the freezer section)
  • 6 pieces of ripe saba (banana) (cut in half lengthwise)
  • 1 - Can of jack fruit in Tagalog it is Langka (drain the jack fruit and slice)
  • 1 1/2 cup Brown sugar
  • 2 cups cooking oil
  • 1 small soup bowl with half water
  • Vanilla Ice-cream (optional)
For those living in the Philippines you will be using fresh lumpia wrapper and langka.

Instructions:
  1. Place the brown sugar by spreading it on the flat plate
  2. Place the saba on top of the sugar
  3. Separate the lumpia wrapper and place on a separate plate
Wrapping:

You will get one lumpia wrapper and place it on a plate add one saba, add some jack fruit and wrap it up by folding it halfway and close each side together, than roll it again until it close. On the end you will use water to seal the end of the lumpia wrapper.

Keep doing this until you have made 12 pieces of turon.

Frying:

In a pan you will heat the oil and put in some sugar wait until it is golden brown.
You will add the turon in the pan wait until it is golden brown and turn it on each side.
Place it on a plate and best to eat when still hot.

My favorite part on adding turon is two scoops of vanilla ice-cream.
