Will I come back again in 6 months' time? No, there are better alternatives

My opinion:

This stall sells traditional Singapore butterfly buns, fried bananas and you zha kueh. Their fried bananas (goreng pisang) cost $0.80 each. As I was one of their last customer, they allowed me this "special offer" of 5 goreng pisangs for breakfast.

The fried bananas were small sized, salty, very oily and totally devoid of banana taste. Batter was too thick and made the food even more awkward tasting. In the end, my mother and I had to throw away 3 of the fried bananas.

In a nutshell, the price of the food was "seductive" but food quality was severely compromised. Honestly, there are too many goreng pisang alternatives in nearby hawker centres for us to visit this stall ever again. 

Ways for the owners to improve their food ratings:

They are highly advised to reduce the amount oil in the cooking process and use a sweeter kind of banana as the food's main ingredient.
