Yummy “Chek Chien” — The Crispy-Sweet Treat Everyone Loves!

Chek Chien, or Cambodian fried bananas, is a simple yet irresistibly delicious snack that brings joy with every bite. Ripe, naturally sweet bananas are coated in a light batter—often made with rice flour, coconut, and a touch of sugar—then fried until perfectly golden and crisp.

The moment you bite into it, you’ll enjoy the crunchy outside followed by the soft, warm, sweet banana inside. The contrast in texture makes it incredibly satisfying. Some people like to enjoy it with a drizzle of palm sugar syrup for an extra layer of sweetness and aroma.

More than just a snack, Chek Chien is comfort food that reminds many of childhood moments, local markets, and the warm feeling of sharing treats with family and friends. It’s simple, nostalgic, and absolutely delicious—one piece is never enough!
