I've been frequenting Banana Leaf atleast once a week since I got back from my honeymoon. [Maybe its the ninnys like me that frequent it too much and have now caused the huge price hike!]
It's my new craze on coffee-shop style Malaysian-Indian food. I love spices and aromas!
I normally have the Nasi Briyani rice set (the picture above is served with plain rice): 4 vegetable dishes, nasi briyani (spiced fried rice), papadums, curry gravy of choice all served on the plain banana leaf - a dishwasher's heaven!
Between the few of us, we usually order other side dishes containing mutton, chicken, fish or beef served: rendang or curry style, or even deep fried. Usually after 2pm, they also have an assortment of Roti (Malay/Indian Bread). Roti Pisang gets my vote: floured flat fried bread with bananas. Yums!
The drinks?..Very typical Malaysian. Starring here are 'Teh-C' and 'Teh-C Special'. Teh-C is milk tea whilst Teh-C Special is milk tea served with cordial wheatgrass- sounds weird buts tastes surprisingly nice.
...And..here are the two food ninnys who consume the lot.
