[Worst Banana Leaf Rice Ever!!]
Banana Leaf Rice is one of Malaysians beloved dish especially among Klang Valley but have you ever heard of or eaten banana leaf rice served with pork belly or pork meat? Is rather interesting but sadly unsatisfied with the quality. Was looking for the best banana leaf rice in Petaling Jaya, and someone recommended this unusual serving or eatery which was published by the newspaper recently, so I decided to give it a try. My first impression was rather shocking after seeing the condiment of vegetables was so disgusting and overflooded with juices still it was dripping all over the floor. The taste was rather bland and the curry was so light, not much of spices used or lack of seasoning.

Banana Leaf Rice Set RM 7.50
(Ponni Rice + Vege of the day + House curry)
Reasonable pricing and the condiments are refillable but the 'vege of the day' was so bad still I didn't bother asking them to refill. As you can see in the photo, soggy and tasted bland. I hope they don't serve the same disgusting vegetable daily and call it 'vege of the day'. My Banana restaurant only served two types of curry which is the chicken curry and fish curry which also tasted super light, not strong at all.
Pork Siew Yuk RM 6.50
My Banana restaurant is famous for serving pork Siew yuk which eventually gets some attention from the public eye because of it's unicity but isn't delicious? The answer is NO, their Siew yuk wasn't seasoned properly and cooked unevenly. The skin is rock hard and the meat was a little undercook.
Fried Nam Yue Pork Belly RM 8.00
Next, we ordered the fried nam yue pork belly which eventually tasted better then the siew yuk. Well balance of flavor and the meat was juicy tender but it took a little too long to wait.
Fried Squid/Sotong goreng RM 10.00
Their fried squad is coated with flour mix with hand-picked Indian spices like chili powder, tamarind, and etc deep fried with onion. Overall the flavor was pleasing but the squid inside did not cook well enough.
Mutton Peratal RM 10.00
Mutton peratal is an Indian curry dish that is prepared from mutton and vegetables and originated in Bengal. Railway mutton curry is a variation of the dish that originated during the British India. Their mutton peratal was tender and packed with flavors but the portion was really small la.
Cham Hot RM 1.80
Kopi Iced RM 2.00
Teh Iced RM 2.00
