CHOCOLATE CHEESE BANANA
Don’t say Bo Jio! This is local Indonesian delight. One of many street food that you must try when in Batam or other parts of Indonesian. This is Pan-Fried Banana with chocolate and cheese toppings. Showered with a rain of sweet condensed milk. A yummylicious banana dessert made specially for you “Jio” lovers
There are many of such roadside stalls selling this in Indonesia. My favorite stall in Batam is here (see location below). Ari, the cook, makes the most consistent ones and he is good at picking ripe bananas. He is also friendly and generous. If you are a female, flirt with him a little and he will give you more toppings. If you are a male, do not attempt to flirt with him or you might have stomach ache. Hahahaa just kidding. He is really a nice and friendly guy. Have known him for many years.
He also sells “Roti Bakar” aka toast. You should try my special order Kaya Cheese toast with extra cheese on top. Tell him, he knows. If you want to go banana-crazy, you can consider putting banana+chocolate+cheese inside the toast! Go there have your supper snacks tonight!
