Which I have to admit, is not very different from how I'd describe namwah. I think you'd have to grow tall Namwah next to the Pisang Awak "Misi Luki" to figure out if there is really any difference between the two. Jon grows "Misi Luki" and dwarf Namwah. He could chime in on whether the flavors are different at all.
I just wanted to hear you say it!

There are some similarities in taste, but that holds true for every banana I've grown with the exception of Jamaican Red. That said the "Misi Luki" I got from Jon is no match for Pisang Klotek aka Mysore taste wise.
