Singapore Food Paradise Favorites 5 - Deep Fried Snacks










One of the favorite snacks loved by Singaporeans and others that can be found at hawker centers is Pisang Goreng along with other deep friend snacks. However, this may be one of the few treats that are no longer as commonly found as it used to be these days.

Pisang Goreng - fried banana in Malay/Indonesian, is commonly found in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. The banana is battered then deep fried, thus it only tastes good when it is consumed while it is still hot. There can be many other deep fried snacks sold along with Pisang Goreng, such as the one in the picture that is green in color. It is actually a tapioca cake that is also slightly battered and fried.

Though most people who make pisang goreng at home would use normal ripe bananas, what they do not know is that pisang goreng is typically cooked with a different type of bananas. Still, this is one way of encouraging those who are not fond of taking a good deal of fruits everyday, to consume at least a banana in its different version that may be deemed as more appetizing and delicious.
