There's lots more to explore at Taman Jurong Market and Food Centre, like the ngoh hiang, fish soup and some cze-char. But after having bak kut teh, curry puffs and roast duck with char siew rice, we were stuffed. Another trip in future, perhaps. I decided to pack some snacks home for my mom-in-law who loves banana fritters.
These were pretty chunky fritters. Each banana fritter has one-and-a-half bananas inside for more bulk. Crispy batter and fluffy insides, not too sweet - just nice. Best eaten hot and fresh, of course.
You just can't miss 56 Li Ji (or is it Lee Kee?) up on the third floor with their conspicuously abundant bunches of bananas hung above their stall.
They also sell various other fried snacks, like tapioca, sweet potato and yam. Prices are pretty decent, from 60 cents to 80 cents (the signature bananas).

1.5 bananas per fritter? Wow, that's hefty indeed... and a boon to a hungry belly during afternoon teatime. :)
