The real talk

Cekodok pisang is dangerous because it is tea time food, you eat it standing up not even sitting down. Each ball is small, maybe 75 calories, so your brain says no harm. Then you look down and the plate is empty and you ate six.

Six pieces is 450 calories of basically fried sweet dough, and you did not even feel full. If you want the banana fix, eat three with your teh and stop, or just eat an actual banana for 100 calories.
