Really grateful to my foodie friend @eechong for snagging a box of the elusive and very much sought-after @banelesg for us. Everything I heard, and read about on social media about it, proved true. There was definitely no exaggeration.
After adhering strictly to the heating instructions: 200 degrees for 5 mins in the air fryer, I had my mind blown good and proper. Caramelised to proper crustiness on top and around, the Banele was cushiony soft, a little fluffy and moist within. That, coupled with the heady fragrance of cooked bananas intertwined in dark chocolate triggered all salivary glands within smelling distance into overdrive. I inhaled one that very night of receiving this gift. And followed up with another the next day for breakfast. Now, I am someone who hardly does breakfast, let alone a sweet one, but exceptions must be made for the exceptional.
