Did you know that the banana fruit is actually a berry? It is protected by a cover known as peel. Almost as kiwi fruit. The banana is usually green when unripe and turns yellow when ripe. The are two basic main types of bananas, one to cook with and the other of a dessert variety. Among those that can be eaten fresh. The ones usually used in cooking are pisang nangka (jackfruit banana), to the foot-long pisang tanduk (horn banana) and the rather provocatively named pisang awak (your banana).
Surprise, surprise, the ubiquitous snacks in Malaysia, goreng pisang or fried banana fritters. Which are so popular as tea time snacks. It are actually Nyonya kuih.
