    Malaysian fried bananas, called pisang goreng, is a scrumptious treat.  I used ripe baby bananas, they were dipped in a simple batter and then fried in the deep fryer until golden brown.  They were served on a banana leaf with some sweet soy sauce.  That may sound a bit odd, but oh my, super good!  It would be delicious with ice cream, chocolate syrup, honey, caramel, whipped cream....... you get the idea.  However if you want to enjoy a simple Malaysian treat that is a popular street food, try it with some sweet soy sauce or nothing at all.  You will love it!  I know it's fried, but it is a banana!
