Banana Fritters (Pisang goreng)

Pisang goreng is probably one of the most common snacks you can find in Indonesia. It is not only available at the street food vendors and go together with all fried fried snacks like singkong goreng (fried yuka), tempeh goreng, tahu goreng and etc. But it also appears at restaurant and cafes served with vanilla ice cream like that of the Raja restaurant and cafe at the Kuta Square in Bali.

Raja's pisang goreng is my favorite 4 p.m snacks mostly after checking out of the hotels at 2 p.m and waiting to my afternoon flight. Just sits there in the cafe, watching the crowds passing by with a glass of fresh lime juice and a small plate of pisang goreng.

Here's the recipe to the delicious and crunchy pisang goreng:
