Talad Thai Banana, our latest snack craving, has landed in Malaysia: This Singaporean-born, Thai-inspired destination for fried bananas and other fun fritters is now open in IOI City Mall Putrajaya for crispy-creamy pleasure!


Authentically Thai, these treats feature Thai-farmed namwa bananas (kluai nam wa), plump and stubby, coveted for their custardy firmness and sweetly fragrant tang, freshly batter-fried in small batches, perfect for an anytime pick-me-up.

Talad Thai Banana traces its roots to a family-run Thai supermarket business established in 1985 at Golden Mile Complex, once widely known as Singapore’s 'Little Thailand.' The brand officially launched at Thai Supermarket in Aperia Mall in June 2023 and has since expanded to 16 outlets across the island this year.

Fans of Thai fried bananas who live elsewhere in the Klang Valley, watch for Talad Thai's next store, scheduled to embark into IOI Mall Damansara next month!

The signature Thai Fried Bananas (starting from RM10.90 per pack) come warmly blanketed in Talad Thai's flagship batter of coconut and wheat flour, studded with sesame seeds, light but potently crunchy to complement the fruit's naturally ripe lusciousness. 

Talad Thai relies on halal-certified ingredients, with the brand's official Malaysian halal certification in the works. Its fare is vegan-friendly, with no eggs or garlic.

For this grand opening weekend, 10-12 April 2026, customers can purchase a serving of Thai Fried Bananas for just RM5 (limited to 1 redemption per customer)!

Next week, 13-16 April, the first 50 customers on each weekday can enjoy a buy-one-free-one offer of Thai Fried Bananas packs (limited to 1 redemption per customer).

Also follow Talad Thai Banana on Instagram for a chance to win a 3D2N trip to Thailand for two (including flights and accommodation)!

Exclusive to Malaysia, Talad Thai in IOI City Mall is introducing special recipes of Fried Tempeh Squares (RM10.90) and Cempedak Fritters (RM12.90), two Southeast Asian staples with a Talad Thai twist, richly tantalising in golden batter.

Other Talad Thai favourites like chewy sweet potato balls are also available, so come hungry!

The Ruai Room is Bukit Petaling’s new Sabahan-founded, Borneo-flavoured restaurant, its garden setting inspired by a communal longhouse spirit.

Specialities indigenous to Sabah and Sarawak hold their natural ground here: Manuk pansuh bamboo-steamed chicken, soothingly herbaceous in tapioca leaves; earthy-nutty dabai fruit-infused keropok; flame-grilled sotong katak from shallow shores off Sabah, bouncy in buttery, spicy-sweet sauce.

Fish dishes are also available, from seasonal grouper umai to Kota Kinabalu-style fish belly noodle soup, served with warmth and care. Even the coffee, tea and coconut beverages are reputedly Sabah-sourced.
