Its six inches long and two inches wide. I'm accustom to seeing (haven't grown any) plantains 10 to 16 inches long and two inches wide.
The African Rhinohorn I grew right next to it received the same nutrition and produced fruits 6 inches long and about 1.25 inches wide, weighing about 100 grams. But keep in mind that the A. Rhinohorn looks unhappy during my "winter" but the Misi Luki Awak only slowed down a bit.

I think there are 3 Pisang Awak cultivars out there: Agristarts "Dwarf Namwa" (about 6' pstem), AgriStarts "Misi Luki" (about 11' pstem), and "standard" Pisang Awak (about 15' pstem) -- all heights being relative to southern California environment.
My wife is the official taste tester around here. I'll let you know how she thinks the D. Namwa and M. Luki match up.
