Maya @ Bangsar Banana Leaf @ KL, Malaysia.

Some friends invited over to Bangsar for some banana leaf rice for lunch. First time me here at Maya.

Place is super clean and airy, menu wise quite extensive. 

We ordered quite a bit, some mutton, fried fish, fried chicken and fried sotong.

My verdict, a worthy contender if you're in Bangsar and fancy for some banana leaf rice. Superb.

Yarl Restaurant @ Brickfields, KL, Malaysia.

Fancy some Sri Lankan fare? Check out Yarl Restaurant at Brickfields. This post came from two breakfast sessions and one lunch. I find myself enjoying both breakfast and lunch here. Superb.

My mate had the stringhoppers, I went for the vadai and thosai.

Yup the thosai hits the spot, pair it with the chutney. Now if you're sweet tooth, make sure order the sweet appom.

That roll is very addictive, think they have chicken, mutton and vege roll. Below is the lunch session, I came back with another 3 pax to make sure can sample more of the dishes.

Damn, what a solid lunch and food coma afterwards. Love it. Oh, don't forget to order their hot coffee or tea to end the meal. Nice.

Bala's Banana Leaf @ Bangsar, KL, Malaysia.

Came here for a banana leaf rice and ended up trying the briyani instead. Lo and behold, what a sight for my lunch. Portions were good, taste wise even freaking better. Good stuff, definitely food coma after this. 

We also ordered a portion each of tenggiri and sotong, just to try it out. Yup both were equally good, I reckon the banana leaf rice should be good, will try it the next time.

Toss N Curry @ DU, PJ, Selangor, Malaysia.

Had a beautiful atas banana leaf rice lunch in Uptown, DU. One of my friends was feeling peckish so she opted for some fish curry and bread. 

We ordered some stuff to be shared, fish tenggiri was one of them.

The banana leaf rice set on it's own is just splendid, the dhall omg! I don't remember how long ago I've tasted a dhall this good. Even the dessert were nice. 

Forgot which is which, think we did two types of mutton, fried ikan bulus below and the last dish should be the sizzling chicken vindaloo.

Now, I would comment the dishes, portion is a bit small compared to other places and prices are a bit on the high side. But honestly the taste and quality of each dish, it's just on a different level. I guess they're using high quality ingredients and don't skimp on the spices. Nice, I'll be back!

Sri Lankan banana leaf, had to go check it out. They'll come and serve all the dishes to you, just pick which ever items you fancy.

 Ordered the shank , some mutton varuval, fried fish, fried bittergourd, and chicken 65.

Now the thali set, Sri Lankan banana leaf is slightly different, as they serve the rice, papadoms and the usual vege but added some 3-4 sambal? achars? a vadai for starter and a dessert to finish your meal. Now this I guess is their version of a bento set. Nicely done. Food was definitely good. Am sure others would agree  as it was packed on a Friday lunch time.

ABC Food's Corner @ KL, Malaysia.

So a friend of mine piqued my curiosity, lamprais. I was like what the heck is that? It's actually a Sri Lankan food which basically means lump rice. Spell it how you want it but one things for sure, it's a good freaking mix rice Sri Lankan style.

Ooohhh they have kothu as well, def gonna check that out next time. So you got two options for the lamprais, chicken or mutton(which I took).

Now check that sucker out, huge lump of rice, comes with slice potatoes, a potato cutlet, 1 egg, another half potato think from the curry, some dry sambal and mutton. All come in wrapped in a huge ball of banana leaf. This is carbo overload, I had some trouble finishing this up. Food is good, a nice packed solid lunch. I'll suggest best combo would be, order 2 packs for 3 person sharing.

Banana Leaf Rice @ Yap Kee Coffee Shop, Klang, Selangor, Malaysia.

Here I was near Klang KTM train station checking out this old school place. Menu is simple with a few dishes on offering.

As usual, you have to order the fried stuff. The fried chicken and tenggiri slice fish was super awesome. The mutton curry was ok, nothin to shout about. Curry was decent. A good place for a banana leaf rice if you're in this part of town. Must order the fried chicken!

Restoran Bunga Raya Indah @ Leboh Ampang, Kl, Malaysia.

If you are ever in Little India in KL, you have to check out this place for banana leaf rice. It's one of those old school canteen, you come in, seat in a row and enjoy your food. Definitely not a place if you wanna have conversations with your friends.

I know it look's like a piece of turd on the rice but if they have it, a must order crab curry. This thing will knock your socks off and you'll instantly start sweating.

I love their mutton varuval and if you can take goat spareparts/intestines get the kudal. Food here is good, prices are reasonable. Love this place!

Restoran Sri Paandi (PJ) @ Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia.

Banana leaf rice for lunch and this time we went to Sri Paandi off Jalan University.

As usual pre deep fried items for you to choose from.

Some cooked items as well the usual chicken mutton etc.

White rice with some greens and yes they use actual banana leaf here.

Rasam + raita/yoghurt adds some flavours to the meal.

Ah nice comfort food, I actually prefer the deep fried items as the meat come out hot. Whereas the cooked items are normally served room temperature. Easily one of the best banana leaf in PJ area. Unassuming unpretentious just simple back to the roots banana leaf rice.
