Slices of camote are coated with brown sugar and then fried, to cook the potatoes and to caramelize the sugar.^[1] It is one of the most common street foods in the Philippines, along with bananacue and turon.^[2]

The term is a portmanteau of "camote" and "barbecue", the latter in Philippine English refers to meat cooked in a style similar to kebabs.^[3]

Though served skewered on bamboo sticks, it is not cooked on the stick. The skewer is purely for easier handling as it is usually sold as street food.
