Dona Manis’ banana pie is a beloved local classic, cherished for its irresistible fragrance, moist texture, and rich, natural sweetness. Perfected over 35 years, our recipe stays true to tradition, making it the original and most iconic banana pie in Singapore.

Unlike Western-style banana pies that use cream, ours is a true Nanyang-style pie, celebrating the flavours of Southeast Asia. We use heritage ingredients like Pisang Berangan — also known as Ang Bak Jio—a prized banana variety in the region. To enhance its tropical essence, we incorporate freshly grated coconut, locally sourced for the best quality and taste. A touch of premium American almonds adds a delightful crunch, while premium SCS butter—renowned for its rich, creamy flavour—brings everything together in a perfectly buttery, golden crust.

Unlike other banana pies that focus only on a soft filling, ours features American almonds for a delightful crunch, perfectly complementing the moist banana filling and buttery crust. This balance of textures makes it stand out from typical banana pies.

We use heritage Pisang Berangan (Ang Bak Jio) bananas because they are naturally sweeter, more fragrant, and have a firmer texture compared to regular bananas. This ensures our banana pie has a deep, authentic flavour without the need for artificial sweeteners.
