Grilled Choco Bananas
Bananas are good for us. Full of vitamins and a good source of potassium (that's until I am done with them and turned them bad. LOL)
I miss the bananas generally found in Indonesia, especially the big ones (pisang raja), perfect for banana fritters/other sweet snacks. Since I couldn't find those here in Hong Kong, I had to settle for these small ones (just about 10-12 cm long), they have the most similar texture and taste to the ones I wanted. Perfect. They just need my magical touch to make 'em sinfully yummy in no time.
Preheat oven to 200C. Simply peel the skin off, slice 'em in half, lay them on oven tray, slather them with butter, and sprinkle some chocolate (chips, powder or rice bits) generously. You can also add a mountain of grated cheese (this is how we normally do them in Indonesia), bake until golden brown. I dusted some chocolate powder onto them. Perfect for afternoon tea time. :)

"Pisang raja" ... I found its photos in web. Look really fat....
I know why you said the one you bought in HK is small.....

um... Banana would melt easily in high temperature but you make it well.... well done!!!
In chinese, we call that banana as "大蕉" - means "big banana". ^.^ I have no idea why we call it "big". When I was a child, i get confused.

Banana is good for people with high blood pressure. My mother bought a LOT recently. so many !!
hi jacky! haha you only like dessert postings ar? hmm these mini bananas are also a kind of pisang raja...but just about 10-12 cm long...bb bananas :) there are "emperor banana" in hong kong, but they are normally sour...so i use these mini ones.
these ones don't melt when grilled...but the normal ones you find in supermarket will. :)
banana is good for those with high blood pressure, but i think not these grilled-with-butter-full-of-chocolate ones hoho

Oh god that looks so good. I like to fry bananas in butter and sugar until the sugar caramelizes. I'll have to add chocolate next time.
