Goreng pisang or banana fritters, are made with bananas coated in a batter, and then deep-fried to a golden brown. The result is a moreish mix of a light, crispy coating set against the warm, melty and sweet banana interior.

These days, goreng pisang stalls have branched out to offer more than just fried bananas.

You can now find other traditional deep-fried snacks such as tapioca, green beans, nian gao (Chinese New Year cakes) wrapped with yam and sweet potato and more.
