Snow Mount at Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre houses two of my favorite food within one stall.
One half of the stall sells fried banana, or goreng pisang while the other half, sells fried kway teow (flat rice noodle).
Ironically, although both are my favorite, I hardly have them more than once or twice a year because there are non near me that is worth their calories.
The stall is run by a father and son team from the Sze family. The goreng pisang side of the business is managed by the father while the son helms the wok, frying the kway teow.
However, during my recent visit, there are no signs of the both of them. Instead, I see three younger men running the show.
In this post, I will focus on the goreng pisang.
The stall uses a type of banana called the pisang raja for their goreng pisang. You can see bunches of these hanging in the stall. At one point, the father owns a farm at Lim Chu Kang, growing his own supply of bananas but was later given up due to not being sustainable economically.
The bananas here are large and I bought three pieces for $1.50 each. What I like is that you get a whole banana here (some places sliced the bananas in halves).
The batter is not the usual heavy and thick kind. Theirs is more airy and light that forms a thin crispy shell around the banana. The banana within was firm yet not overripe.
Apart from goreng pisang, Snow Mount sells a variety of other fried fritters such as sweet potato, tapioca, green bean, yam, champida (cempedak) and durian pisang.
For the ultimate enjoyment, it is best to have your fritters on the spot while it is still hot but despite packing it home to eat more than an hour later, the batter remains crisp without being oily. This is evident in the paper bag that does not show any traces of grease.
