Mrs. Bombanana 🍌

BOMbastic banana ala Mrs. B. Or Talad Thai Banana. 😋


🍌 Ingredients

  • 4 medium sized bananas, halved then slice to thirds.
  • 3/4 cup All Purpose Flour
  • (Thai rice flour would even be better!) 
  • 4 tsp Corn Flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar ???
  • 1/3 cup coconut cream (grated coconut would be better!)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 4 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • Canola oil (or any neutral cooking oil with high smoke point)


🍌 Steps

  1. Slice bananas.
  2. Toast sesame seeds.
  3. Prepare batter in the mixing bowl. dry ingredients first.  Whisk well.
  4. Add wet ingredients to batter, whisk well. Do not overmix so the batter won't get "glutinous".
  5. Heat the oil in the pan (320° to 330°). not too hot so the fritters will not get burnt, but will cook well on the inside.
  6. Do the oil hot test (dip chopstix in, bubbles form)
  7. Dunk a banana slice into the batter, and shake off excess gently.
  8. Add the bananas to the hot oil carefully one at a time. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  9. Stir once in a while so the bananas dont stick to each other.
  10. Once golden brown, about 4-5 minutes, flip and fry the other side til golden brown, about 3 minutes.
  11. once cooked, take out from the pan, using a spider or strainer. 
  12. Strain on wire rack or strainer to remove excess oil, and rest for 5 minutes.
  13. Serve and enjoy while warm!

🍌 Tools

  • Chopping board & knife
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups & spoons
  • Deep frying pan
  • Spider 
  • Strainer / Wire rack


✅ Tip: Even a few hours over-ripe banana will make these fried fritters a bit mushy in a short amount of time.

Use just ripened for this recipe, yellow yet firm to the touch. And it will be crispy for a while (unless hungry teens & a young fellow gets to it!). 

"Mrs. B, Missus A, Missus N, A, Na!" 😜


Here's our first take of this Thai version of Pinoy's banana-Q!

Japanese potato salad, onegaishimasu!!!

Refreshing Crunch in every bite Nice touch of creamy from the potatoes and dressing Wonderful colors BEST of ALL: HEALTHY 🥗  Ingredients  3 potatoes, boiled &  roughly  mashed  1/2 cup of picnic ham, or 1/2 can of Spam, diced and fried. 1 cucumber, sliced 1 carrot, julienne 1/2 cup sweet corn,  1/2 cup picnic ham, diced &fried Japanese mayonnaise (*or any mayo) vinegar 1 boiled egg (optional) Salt and pepper to taste. 🥗  Steps Once the potatoes and ham are done, boiled-mashed, fried, respectively. mix altogether in a big bowl. Serve warm immediately, or it can also be served after being chilled for an hour (if in a rush 30 mins in the chiller will do.) The kids preferred without onions, so I always exclude it. Pair with some nicely fried food, like Japanese sausages, or chicken nuggets; world peace over dinner is hugely important. 💡 Inspired by: Ochikeron & Just One Cookbook

how i met Nancy Drew

It was my sister who introduced me to Nancy Drew and her posse, Bess and George. Back in 4th grade, from a book she brought home from the school library.  Erm, at least that's how I remember it. One Nancy Drew thing stands out in my memory though. The title "The Secret of the Old Clock".  I vividly remember how the book looked, hard-bound, yellow spine, thick pages. The picture in the front cover showed Nancy, alone, crouched on the grass in the quiet woods at night, opening that old clock and looking so, well, so secretive about it!  I recall how i felt then, seeing that picture, there is a thrill, like you were on the verge of discovery of a very precious secret!   Thus, i got hooked in a much enjoyable way.  I had graduated from fairy tales, fables and legends and had moved into mystery. It was one mystery solved after another! A different kind of adventure! How about you?  Were you, or are you an avid Nancy Drew fan? What was your 1st mys...
