SAIGON Banana fritters and cripsy rice and kamote sticks.
By aly abaquin



Afternoon delight....of the different kind. we chance upon this street sweets or must we say the Banana Fritters " chuoi Chien",small rice balls and kamote sticks " khoai tay Chien" ala french fries...

The lady pressed the banana into a flat shape then dipped over flourry sweet
batter.. like the one we have for pancakes..and then deep fried in hot oil...
The result are banana friterrs/ tempura style and every good snacks in the afternoon ...
while the sticky rice are rolled up into sugar then dip in batter then fried.. beats the potatoe balls same as the kamote sticks the local version of french fries...yummy the best eaten while still hot or freshly fried but not straight from the pan let it rest as if it can be rested .. as you noticed in the picture everytime she finished frying the banana its partically sold out...
Now all i need is a vanilla ice cream and its banana friterrs ala mode...
this is easy to replicate when in the house is must add to my favorites in Street foods finds.... as we took part in eating and forgot the time as we have love seeing the lady cooking as regulars and some in motorbike now begins to drive thru her and ask for the best seller: Chuoi Chien BANANA fritters no need to shout her wares...
