Banana Snack Vendors at the Oval Covered Court
| From AATransfers form Blogspot |
Youngsters choosing from a variety of fried banana, a local snack fare which includes “mArUyA”, “TuRoN”, and “pAypAy” from one of the stalls behind the bleachers of the oval plaza covered court.
Recently transferred there from their old site fronting the MSU Highschool Campus, these
banana-que vendors are again enjoying brisk business from clients at the surrounding offices and schools.
