If you’re looking for a culinary adventure that dives deep into the heart of Mataram’s street food scene, then Pisang Goreng GENDUT is a must-visit. Nestled in the bustling area of Jl. Subak 3 No. 6, Cakranegara, this charming little eatery specializes in fried banana dishes that are sure to tantalize your taste buds.

As I stepped into Pisang Goreng GENDUT, the aroma of fried snacks wafted through the air, instantly making my mouth water. The atmosphere is casual and inviting, with locals chatting and enjoying their meals, creating a vibrant and friendly vibe. The decor is simple, allowing the food to take center stage, which is exactly how it should be in a place like this.

Now, let’s talk about the star of the show: the menu. Their signature dishes include Roti Daging Jack, Pisang Goreng Keju Susu, and Ayam Gunting Gendut. I decided to try the Pisang Goreng Keju Susu, and while the banana was slightly overcooked, it still had a delightful crunch. However, I was hoping for a bit more topping, as some reviews mentioned that the toppings were not as abundant as expected. One visitor noted, “the banana fried was so crunchy, I like it! Unfortunately, the aftertaste is so, hmm, make me sore throat. I think they should improve their quality in the choice of the oil.” This feedback is something the restaurant could definitely take into consideration for future improvements.

The Roti Daging Jack was another highlight, though I found the portion size to be smaller than what I had anticipated based on the pictures. A fellow diner remarked, “the bread that came was different from what was shown in the picture; I ordered before and the bread was long, but now it’s so small.” It’s a bit of a letdown when expectations don’t match reality, but the flavors were still on point.

One thing I noticed was that the seasoning could use a little more oomph. A local mentioned, “Bumbunya sedikit banget,” which translates to “the seasoning is very little.” This is something that could elevate the dishes even further, making them more memorable.

Despite a few minor hiccups, Pisang Goreng GENDUT is a fantastic spot to immerse yourself in the local culinary culture. The friendly atmosphere, combined with the unique offerings, makes it a worthwhile stop. Just be sure to grab a Gojek or Grab to get there easily, as it’s a popular spot among locals and tourists alike. If you’re in Mataram, don’t miss out on this delicious experience!
