The Banana Of Thailand

[IkuTube]

One of the many road-side food in Bangkok (and some other parts of Thailand), the banana and how the locals prepare it can turn this fruit to become such a yummy snack.

 

Whenever I am in Bangkok, these are the must-eat snacks.

 

The Banana Fritter - which is deep fried with dough mixed with sugar and sesame seeds.  It is simply not the same as we get it locally in Singapore.  There is something about it that makes it different.

 

 

The Prata (Pancake) - Normally sold by Thai Muslim (I believe it so), it is crispy when it is eaten hot.  It can be very sweet and you have to tell the seller not to add the condensed milk.  It is usually topped with chocolate syrup.

 

 

The BBQ Sweet Banana.  Simply, yummy and healthy snack.  It is served with coconut juice syrup.  The best (to me) is the one sold by this young man (who is doing this to support his Master degree) at Thong Lor.

I thought hot dog. Didn't know the banana is short and fat unlike those found in Singapore. Oh, the guy is equally cute. His banana must be the same size and thickness as those on bbq tray...

there are a lot of banana. Short and stout. In Singapore. Its usually sliced into a V shape. And put a slice of another banana in between. And then fry.

that's why it look longer.

go to any Malay shop selling banana.
