Banana Leaf

Banana Leaf is a very popular restaurant at Milpitas. It specializes in Malaysian cuisine such as the famous Roti for example. We loved the Malaysian hawker food when we visited Orlando last time, thus we really wanted to try Malaysian food again whenever we have the chance.

We got to Banana Leaf at 5PM, just when the restaurant has just opened. The restaurant was quite big and had open kitchen concept. The menu was on the huge QR code placed at the top of the table. We didn't see any physical menus.

We ordered Roti Prata, Red Beef Curry, Banana Leaf Rice, and Hainan Chicken Rice. The Roti came very quickly. This is something that we have been craving for. The Roti came with the curry dipping sauce, however, we found that the Roti was not hot and was too crispy and breaking apart.

The Red Beef Curry was quite good. We loved the curry taste. The Red Beef Curry also had many different other ingredients in the curry such as tofu. It was full of surprise. The Hainan Chicken rice was amazing too. The chicken meat was very tender and the sauce was sweet and savory at the same time. Banana Leaf Rice came with coconut flavored rice and rendang chicken. The rendang chicken was very flavorful, just as much flavor as curry.

We really loved the food at Banana Leaf and wish we had chance to try more items on its menu. The only let down was the Roti and hope it would be better next time and served warm in the future.
