This stall, which originated from the iconic Lau Pa Sat, specialises in Chinese-style banana fritters with a thin, crispy batter that gives way to a sweet, mushy interior.

Beyond the classic goreng pisang, Mei Xiang also offers a unique 3-in-1 Yummy Cake, a deep-fried snack featuring tapioca and yam layered with nian gao, though the earthy flavours of the root vegetables take centre stage. The friendly stallholders serve each portion with a smile, ensuring every order is made with care.

I’ve tried a lot of goreng pisang and they are truly the best! I’d travel all the way from the west to eat their goreng pisang. The batter is savory and stays crispy for a long time. Love their banana, sweet tapioca cake and also the 3 in 1 Nian gao which is super filling. They will fry as you order, so what you get is fresh. They close quite early, so if you are there for dinner, go buy them first before you eat.

Really nice and crispy goreng pisang! Would definitely back for it. It is sweet and best eaten when it's still crispy. I was lucky because when I came, they just fried a new batch. But although I left it for a while, it was still tasty. …

Dessert Fritter (~ SGD $1.50 per piece) @ Mei Xiang Goreng Pisang (美香炸香蕉). . Chef-Owner Mary Teo has been perfecting her fritters for more than a decade (even before March 2011), selling hundreds of pieces daily. . The batter is a house signature, thin, crispy, non-greasy, yet sufficiently strong without being fragile. . Their fritters come in hand-made odd shapes; the tender sweet potato carries mild vegetal sweet starchy savoury flavour, while the soft yam / taro has vegetal earthy savoury notes. . The pandan / screwpine leaf infused tapioca has a grainy soft feel, with mild toasty sweet earthy floral flavour, rather like roasted coconut was used. . The fried banana / goreng pisang is small but plump and juicy soft creamy, with addictive fruity sweet flavour. . A queue forms quickly every time a new batch of dessert fritters comes out from the fryer.
