Sounds like a STD right?

Talking about krapfen and bola de berlim etc., it seems quite a bit are in fact Berliner.

The weird thing is an ‘oliebol’ is very famous in Belgium and the Netherlands (but only during the New Year festivities) but they selected something (nonnevot, nun’s knit?) practically nobody ever heard of, let alone tasted.

Oliebol made the list, though.
 
I like pisang goreng. But there are a lot of varieties ... not all are 'enak' ... specially those in the picture .. and nowadays they serve pisang goreng with cheese .. ??? Strange combi.

Deep fried ice cream with strawberries, honey and whipped cream are one of my favorites.
 
Yes my favourite deep fried dessert are Pisang Goreng . But I also love Pisang Epe.
If you don't want deep Fried Pisang Goreng (Banana Fritter) because of fat from cooking oil, people could also get Grilled-Pressed Banana (Pisang Epe). It is a famous dessert originally from Makassar South Sulawesi. Both pisang goreng and Pisang Epe main ingredients are from special types of bananas e.g Kepok Banana, or Plantain (Musa x paradisiac). While these types of bananas are expensive in other countries, they are plentiful in Indonesia, therefore they are reasonably cheap.

I see the US first appears with the donut. Maybe pisang goring comes in number 1 here on this list but if one were to watch the linesat places like JCo and simular places around the world I would think the donut outsells all others. I doubt the donut is an American invention to begin with. Fried pastries and cakes formed into a circle.
 
Don't know if it's the best dessert but I surly love pisang goreng with brown sugar x susu manis x cheese. I never thought that when i came here for the first time 15 years ago.🤣
Of course after eating one portion I would rather not attempt a diabetes check.
 
Not much from the list I've tasted; ie. pisang goreng, quarkballchen, churros, doughnut, lokma, tulumba, gulab jamun, fried ice cream, and fritule. our signature pisang goreng (not as on the picture ) is the winner.
 
Pisang goreng madu is pretty special... Not really into the cheese thing at all for desserts (minus mascarpone and cheesecakes). Coklat Keju on anything including pisang goreng is just mindpickling for me... A deep fried mars bar should be on this list though!

This vlogger with a strong scottish accent flew to Makassar for Grilled-Pressed Banana (Pisang Epe) Sweet Treat. The main ingredients are from special types of bananas e.g Kepok Banana, or Plantain (Musa x paradisiac) and covered with syrup made of palm brown sugar.

It is one of the well known famous street desserts sold by street food vendors in Makassar along the Losari beach promenade. The losari beach promenade is quite famous as it is literally very close to Makassar city centre.
Pisang Epe is relatively cheap in Makassar as Kepok Banana, or Plantain and palm brown sugar are abundant in Indonesia.
Supposed it was sold in the countries where these special types of tropical exotic bananas are expensive, this sort of dessert would be expensive. Certainly will be more expensive than Dunkin Doughnuts.
In some countries, people say when you eat street food served on banana leaves, you will need to eat that banana leaf as well, as this banana leaf might be more expensive than the food itself.
