Jman888 Moderator February 9, 2012 Share February 9, 2012 Heard that this was also used on fried chicken sold in pasar malam here, is this true?? Crackdown on use of plastic to make goreng pisang crispy NST | Thu Feb 9 2012 Malaysia's health authorities will fine hawkers who put plastic in cooking oil when frying banana fritters. KUALA LUMPUR: The Health Ministry has urged the public to report cases of traders who use plastic in preparing crispy banana fritters as alleged by many. Its director-general, Datuk Dr Hasan Abdul Rahman, said yesterday unscrupulous traders who did this would be slapped with a heavy fine. "If there is proof of traders doing so, the public should report it to the ministry." He said food preparation found to be harmful to consumers' health would result in the traders getting fined not more than RM100,000 or jailed not more than 10 years, or both, under Section 13 (1) of the Food Act 1983. However, he said according to food technology, adding plastic would not create such a crispy texture. He was commenting on a reader's letter to the editor on the use of plastic in crispy banana fritters published yesterday. The letter said that banana fritters tasted better and stayed fresh and crispy even when left outside because they were fried with plastic materials. The writer said the information came from an article claiming that plastic materials, such as plastic bottles or straws, were thrown into the boiling oil prior to frying of the fritters. Dr Hasan said health officials would conduct regular inspections on hawkers to ensure that consumers were not sold food that could endanger their health. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cars08 1st Gear February 9, 2012 Share February 9, 2012 Hard to imagine plastic makes things taste better. Sounds like urban myth, like the sanitary pad to keep satay customers hooked. It is nt a myth...plastic is used to make it stays crisp...n i saw hawkers in Msia doing that many yrs ago using straws...after that I stopped taking fried banana...
