Where To Get Grilled Bananas

[bettiebebop]

Bit of a strange request but I have a craving for grilled bananas, the type that come in their natural shape not cut up, put on a stick and squashed down.

Anyone know where they have these?

[elektrified]

Quite literally everywhere! Just look. They have them at every market, street market, etc.

I wonder where the OP got them, the last time there was a craving?

Well I found them on the side of the road on Suthep rd but havent seen the vendor since.. i've looked around the markets & and just found the squashed down kind.

If you mean Thai style with coconut cream thing ,a good one I know is or used to be opposite the Suendok Hospital near the pedestrian crossing but don't know if they're still there.

Later found this one and they mention they used to be opposite the Suendok Hospital.

they are squashed after grilling. there are options for not squashing it, not adding any sweet stuff or anything

Squashed grilled banana? Try riding a motorbike to Mae Sai next month! 555!

Somphet, warawot, san pa khoi, thanin.

Maybe I go on unlucky days if they are everywhere?

Maybe the wrong time of the day? Anyway, you could try using a toaster. About 200Baht, and you can use it for other purposes too. I'm not joking with you, just put the bananas on top (not inside) of the toaster and turn them around once in a while until done.

Wow - all for a grilled banana.

Keep trying I'm sure you'll find them one day.

my lady makes her own, but not grilled.

with the bunches of bananas that have been on the top shelf for a week, she then peels each one, cuts it in half and flattens them and then a light coating of honey and hangs them out in a flat basket to dry them.

after about 4 days and assuming the squirrels didnt find them, they are hard and crisp just like the ones you buy in the packets...so she eats them like biscuits.

as for me, i wont touch them, on the basis that it sounds disgusting!

Went to Muang Mai market today and there was a lady making "grilled banana". If you enter the market opposite the US Consulate, you'll find your bananas 50 meters on the right side.

Nah Aristide - just the plain bananas.

I found some today at a market I have no idea of the name further north east of the city also - hooray.

Thank you Semper I will check out Muang Mai though as its closer to home.

Eyecatcher.. ive seen those in a basket on the side of the street ones, drying whilst flies have a field day.

Oh sorry I think I didn't read the topic carefully, it's called -glûay-nám-wáa. in Thai

Available, like the other said, every where (every local markets)
