Zulkafli says customers still prefer fritters from pisang nipah.
PISANG goreng (banana fritters) sellers in Johor Baru are having problems getting pisang nipah as it has not been grown in the state for the last 20 years.
Zulkafli Jaafar, 66, who has been operating a stall selling banana fritters for four decades, said the problem started when banana plantations in Johor were infected by Panama disease.
