Banana Leaf Asian Cafe

Meiliana Hanrizon

My love for peranakan cuisine is beyond question. Sadly no place in the Philippines can ever properly quench that thirst. One place that does come close to it is Banana Leaf. Although their endless variations confuse me, the Asian Cafe has my favourite dishes. Come here for the Tilapia in cream sauce, the laksa, and the Portuguese vegetables (which might have been discontinued). Place could use upgraded AC facilities tho

After 15 minutes, they asked me if I would rather have the egg in my nasi lemak fried instead of boiled (someone had apparently forgotten to boil an egg). I said no. Still in a good mood.Someone also seemed to have forgotten to salt the chicken. Dry and tasteless, even as I drowned it first in sambal, then in curry sauce. Good mood still.Despite the lunch “promo”, they billed the regular price - and when I pointed it out, they said there was no “code” yet for the dish on the register. Rectified after I commented that this is illegal. Getting pissed here.Edit: Paid the bill, and after several minutes, was told that their credit card terminal was not working. Normally, it wouldn’t have been a big deal, but this was a little too much. So I docked off one more star. I never post bad reviews, but grrrrWhat happened, Banana Leaf? Used to like this restaurant. Not coming back any time soon.
