I know the banana you're talking about. I spent three years in the Philippines living off base and I also went to South Korea MANY times while I was stationed in Japan. I just thought they (Commonly called cooking bananas by the folks I was around) were called that name.
That sounds about right, also locational-wise <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
No idea about the name though...
