I caught a glimpse of the recommendation on TV a few weeks back. Being a fanatic of food with banana (just likewise with chocolate and rum balls), I decided to hunt the place down. I googled and coincidentally found the place they were talking about. One week later, I went down to Katong just to hunt for this specialty - banana pie.
I happened to also read someone's blog entry that they do sell rum balls too. It could be my lucky day! I met another dessert-crazed human being like me, and off we went. From the hawker centre for chicken macaroni, to french marshmallows (guimauve) and then banana pie and rum ball. Though I do love desserts, I am not borned with a sweeth tooth. Guimauves are a nice try but definitely I won't go gaga over it, because they are too sweet for me!
When I first bit into the banana pie, it nearly took my breath away! Not too sweet, filled with generous portion of banana chunks, and being freshly served out of the oven does help! It was warm and crispy, crust very nicely done... How wonderful if I could have a scoop of ice-cream on top of it - that'd be heavenly. I could taste the grated coconut they used in it too, unlike other pie that filled it up with cream or flour, this definitely sound like a healthier option. What more is it tastes exceptionally good! So be being banana pie crazed, I bought 2 more for takeaway, it costs S$2 for a piece or S$20 for the whole pie!
Oh did I not mention their lovely rum balls too? Slightly a little bigger than size of a marble, it looks too teeny for the price of S$1. I almost thought they must have missed out "3 for.." in their tag. After putting the whole marble-sized rum ball into my mouth, I finally understood the reason for the price. I could get drunk with 10 shots of rum balls - honestly. And one of the best rum balls I have tried in Singapore - swear to that!
Dona Manis, I'm certainly coming back for more!
