Over the weekend I got a
message from a good old buddy (a childhood friend and fellow parishioner from Kuala Terengganu) asking me if
we’ll be sampling banana leaf rice. He’s now residing in Brussels (and no, he’s
not Jean Claude Van Damme) and comes back to Malaysia every so often, and he misses Malaysian food terribly.
Bless his soul! We’ve
overlooked this particular cuisine so it looks like we’ll be leafing through
some banana (pardon the bad pun) this weekend, and Brendan cannot be more
thrilled.
Everyone who knows us
intimately will know of our son’s obsession with chicken curry, specifically the
south Indian variety. We swear at the rate he’s going we’ll have an Indian lady
for a daughter-in-law, given his penchant for curry since his prepubescent days.
We did some research and came
up with the following options:
Restoran Kader
24, Jalan Lebuh Ampang
50100 Kuala Lumpur
+60320728244
Mathai's Banana Leaf Rice
Mayflower Seafood Restaurant
144A Jalan Vivekananda,
Brickfields
50470 Kuala Lumpur
+60322603698
Vishal Food & Catering
No. 22, Jalan Scott off Jalan
Tun Sambanthan, Brickfields
50470 Kuala Lumpur
+60322740995
The first shop is near and
dear to us, and is actually our default banana leaf restaurant (within walking
distance from our apartment). The latter two shops are what we’ve gleaned off
the internet. Yes, there are a slew of banana leaf establishments in Bangsar
and Petaling Jaya but we’d rather not pay through our noses to experience
banana leaf dining.
So Mr. Francis Felix Cherian,
you wish is our command J
