jtoh:

For the bananas, I used to make banana cakes and my experience has been that del monte's not good for cakes. You need the small ones. Can't remember what they're called. The smaller sweeter ones. Must be over ripe.

Yes, agree with ksi and jtoh that should not use the DelMonte range. As jtoh mentioned, it's the smaller variety - the ones that is used for goreng pisang.

Anyway, was at Cold Storage and all the bananas look under-ripe or in a just ripe state. Cd not find any black spotted pigmented bananas. So in the end, bought a just ripe variety and waiting for it to over-ripen :roll:

Yup, those POLKA-DOTTED PIGMENTED ones. :rotflmao:

Yup, those POLKA-DOTTED PIGMENTED ones, but must make sure there are no occupants inside, and by occupants, I mean those wriggly, wriggly ones that love those POLKA-DOTTED PIGMENTED bananas! :!:

Cold Storage sells nice ones, not over-ripe ones. Guess not good for display if they show black spotted ones. :lol: What I used to do was buy a big bunch for consumption. Then those which we don't finish in time and get over-ripe we make cake.

Ya, those POLKA-DOTTED PIGMENTED ones cannot be found at NTUC or Cold Storage, they can only be found at the market.

I think those found at Cold Storage are also not the best for banana cakes. You need to find those with skin looking less yellow, less shiny and with more spots. Usually found in fruit stalls in matured housing estates IMHO
