At least that's what they call this one in singapore and it's really expensive. It grows super huge too! Anyone with proper info regarding this one? would like to know it's real name :)

Musa 'Ele Ele' perhaps? Also known as 'Hawaiian Black'.

Can you post a picture of the petiole channels? They should be very narrow, almost closing.
