singapore's talad thai banana launches first malaysian store in ioi city mall putrajaya

Talad Thai Banana is a Thai fritter counter in IOI City Mall, Putrajaya — the Singaporean chain's first Malaysian store, with a second Klang Valley outlet announced for IOI Mall Damansara. The bananas are the point. It uses Thai-farmed namwa bananas (kluai nam wa), the plump, stubby variety prized for custardy firmness and a sweet, faintly tangy edge, battered and fried in small batches through the day. What to Order at Talad Thai Banana The Thai Fried Bananas (from RM10.90 per pack) come in the house batter of coconut and wheat flour studded with sesame seeds — light, but crunchy enough to hold its own against the fruit underneath. Other fritters run alongside them. The brand traces back to a family Thai supermarket business started in 1985 at Golden Mile Complex, once known as Singapore's Little Thailand; it launched as its own counter in 2023 and has since grown to sixteen outlets there. For Thai fried bananas in Putrajaya or a snack stop in IOI City Mall, this is the one people are queuing at.

Changkat Putrajaya

Changkat Putrajaya is a dessert and drinks stop on the stretch by the landmark Putra Bridge in Putrajaya — a cool corner in a part of the city short on them. What to Order at Changkat Putrajaya The signature Apple Pudding is the order: green apple pieces layered with cookie crumbs, cream and cinnamon, so each spoonful moves between tart fruit, biscuit and smoky spice rather than settling into one note. For desserts in Putrajaya or somewhere to stop near Putra Bridge, Changkat is the sweet end of the walk.
