Pisang goreng (Fried bananas)

Yu-u-uuuummy! This delectable little treat can be found at “kaki-limas” (street vendors, literally “5 feet”) from afternoon to evening. A special type of banana (locally called pisang cepatu, or shoe banana) is sliced into about 5 segments lengthwise, battered, and deep-fried. Locals eat it dripping with hot sauce, but I prefer it unadulterated. Probably not what the doctor ordered for keeping the cholesterol down, but a sweet treat none-the-less.
