Banana Leaf Restaurant

Nasi Lemak

Coconut-steamed rice with a sambal that has real bite, paired with crispy anchovies, roasted peanuts, and cucumber — the anchor dish of the menu

Roti Canai

Layered flatbread with a shattering, flaky crust, served with dhal curry and a coconut-based sauce — one of the better versions in the South Bay

Beef Rendang

Slow-braised beef in a dense, aromatic dry curry paste — deeply spiced with lemongrass and galangal, tender enough to pull apart

Laksa

Rich coconut curry broth over rice noodles with prawns and tofu puffs — spicy, creamy, and warming

Char Kway Teow

Wok-fried flat rice noodles with egg, bean sprouts, and Chinese sausage — good wok breath, slightly smoky

Hainanese Chicken Rice

Poached chicken over fragrant rice cooked in chicken broth, with ginger scallion sauce and chili dipping sauce on the side

Teh Tarik

Pulled milk tea frothy from being poured between cups — sweet, creamy, and the right counter to the meal's heat
