This humble stall is among the pioneers of the pisang goreng cheese trend. Slivers of bananas are coated with thick batter and fried to crispy perfection, and then it’s all about playing around your sweet and cheesy scale. Sculpt up the gilded chunks with regular suspects of gooey cheese, chocolate rice and assorted range of sauces, where chocolate is the best bet. All those sloppy coatings give the banana fritters a little soggy top with a tad of crispiness.

Deftly done in the piping hot vat, the banana fritters are plump with speckles of crunch, which poises excellently to be shrouded with grates of cheese and chocolate. The topped condiments just cascade throughout the resoundingly crispy batons, offering an ambrosial masticate.
