Most people know about lumpia,the addictive Filipino pork spring rolls,but fewer are familiar with its sweeter,stickier counterpart,turon. This dessert consists of sugared banana and jackfruit slices rolled into a crispy spring-roll pastry topped with caramel drizzle.

It’s one of the many traditional desserts on the menu at Inasal Express,the easygoing CBD alleyway joint also serving halo-halo (a shaved ice dessert with condensed milk,fruits and sweet toppings) and taho (silken tofu with sago pearls and brown sugar syrup).

Savoury menu options include dishes like silog plates (garlic fried rice with egg and meat),barbecued pork skewers,and even cheesy Filipino-style hot dogs.
