Setup Pisang Tape

Dear sweet iftar,

I have no idea to translate this food. Setup pisang tape is like a compote, almost have the same ingredients with compote banana, but setup uses sugar not Javanese palm sugar. That’s the main difference.  Another difference is the use of cinnamon. I love the smell of it a lot. It is a must serve menu in the holy month of Ramadhan. Please take a look on the recipe below for your next alternative iftar menu…
