Big Leaf BLR

Banana Leaf Rice, Pork-Free

Post by Chiefeater DOO

As someone who hasn’t eaten banana leaf for some time, my expectations are not very high. As such, I really enjoyed my meal here.

This is a more modern version of the typical banana leaf place. There’s a menu, you order by filling out the sheet and they provide forks and spoons to eat with. What? Yes, I know sacrilegious. There’s only one way to eat banana leaf – with your hand!

The fare is minimalist compared to other joints. I really enjoyed the Deep Fried Sotong (RM14.50+) and Bitter Gourd (RM5.90+). The Chicken Varuval (RM9.50+) and the Chicken 65 (RM10.90+) were decent but nothing to shout about.

Apart from the usual dhall and chicken curry, they provided crab curry which was flavorsome. I also enjoyed the chutney provided as one of the 3 vegetable sides.

Chiefeater VK’s comment
I would agree with DOO that the chicken missed the mark. Both the meat was dry and had lost its succulence. The best dish for me was the Fried Squid / Sotong.

And I ate with fork and spoon unlike DOO. Yes. Sue me for being sacrilegious.

The meal for 2 pax came up to RM79.95.

The + is for the 10% service charge. Their service is courteous and attentive and the 10% is worth it.
