Go bananas!

I found this in a small street in Wanchai and at my first click an old lady, a street-side fruit vendor, came and stopped me. She definitely went bananas and said a bunch of things. Well, I was really going to compliment her on the artistic display matching the marks on the bananas with those on the wall! ;p
(Just to clarify, most other vendors in the open-air market don't mind people taking photos of their merchandise.)

Lisi,
Perhaps she thought you were from the health department ;^p !
These bananas a stubby and fat compared to the ones in markets in the western US--remind me of plantains in shape.

I love bananas. Especially banana milkshake.

Fried bananas are yummy too. We call it "Pisang Goreng" in Malaysia/Singapore.

Karine and Kim, this type of bananas are known in Central America as I (from Guinea, Africa where all bananas are from). Fried bananas are known as "platanos fritos" in Mesoamerica and they make also make a sort fried-pie filled with black beans from another banana known as Platano or Platano Macho. Really great stuff, enough to make you go bananas.
