Greetings,
I'm from Semarang , Central Java , Indonesia. I have 4 kinds of banana species in my farm , but I'm afraid i cannot explain each one 's latin name ( have to check carefully. But 2 of them usually we cook it with coconut milk & brown sugar , and one of this cooking banana is so sweet , we get very sweet honey & caramel when we fry them.
It's an honour to be welcomed in this forum. I hope to learn a lot from my seniors.

Best regards,

Rudy:bananas_b

I am pretty sure that I spent the night in Semarang on the way to Kalamantan when the 'machine was broke' on the airplane.

Welcome!

Welcome from New Jersey. It sounds like you may be growing Pisang Ambon. If so you are very lucky to have this banana on your table. I look forward to hearing more from you.

:nanadrink: Try to input to Google Pictures : Pisang Raja , Pisang Mas. The one we call pisang raja , the spottier they look , the more honey we get when we fry them. It's so sweet , when we make fried banana coated with rice flour & wheat flour , the outer part of the coating flour is always coated with many caramel !
Thanks , Bob. I feel comfy already to know that all of you welcome me.

Best regards,

Rudy

Try to enter at google pictures , fill in query : kolak pisang.
Basicly , we cook the banana ( should be only Pisang Raja ) in coconut milk , brown sugar with fragrant pandanus leaf, and we can add up attap fruits. Very sweet , but I'm afraid , you will taste it a bit too sweet & fatty. Let me know if you want to try the recipe.

:lurk: Thanks , Cheryl.

Welcome. Please take a picture of the fruits in your banana farm and some people here may help to identify, hopefully. I am from the Philippines and I want to have different kinds of banana in my small garden. One of the cultivars I want is Pisang Kates. If you know this, please email me. Thanks and welcome again.:woohoonaner::woohoonaner::woohoonaner:

Or could also be pisang tanduk instead. The banana fruit can reach 50 - 60 cm long / 20" - 24" . Let me know if you can find that , also instant coconut milk / dried coconut powder , fragrant pandanus leaf , and may be some plain buah attap / attap fruit. Also brown sugar.
