Kamote cue refers to deep-fried sweet potatoes with a coating of caramelized brown sugar. This is a common meryenda (mid-afternoon snack) in the Philippines. It can mostly be seen peddled around the busy streets

 one of the top-selling meryenda because of its affordability and filling effect (it can make you feel full for several hours). This can also recharge your energy temporarily (carb and sugar combined make you hyper active).
