Banana leaf rice in Restaurant Nirwana Maju @ Bangsar

Hey people, food post is back into picture in my blog here :)

I think it's been month time which I never come out which any food related post, sorry ya :-D

Well, today I'm gonna recommend a place for nice banana leaf rice in Bangsar. In case anyone don't know about banana leaf rice, it is a typical dish in South Indian cuisine.

Therefore, my cousin TJ claims that we (means me and him) have the Indian bloods (super minor but perhaps I claim myself Chindian? lolx...) running through the vein, we have to love banana leaf rice =="

In banana leaf rice, white rice (or parboiled rice in authentic South Indian restaurants) is served on a banana leaf with an assortment of vegetables, curried meat or fish, pickles, and/or papadum. Most of the time, however, only the gravy of the curry will be served and no meat is served as it is meant to be a traditional Indian vegetarian dish. It is traditionally eaten with the hand.

The banana leaf is used as it is believed that the hot rice will release the coating on the banana leaf, which aids in digestion.

The Banana Leaf has my name on it when it came, so sweet ;) (Dream on for it ya, cause I grave it in :P)

The waiter will serve you one by one the vegetables and pickles. Following up with the rice and curry gravy:)

Papadum, often shortened to paapad (see above), is a thin crispy Indian Wafer sometimes described as a cracker or flatbread. They are typically served as an accompaniment to a meal in India and Pakistan. It is also eaten as an appetizer or a snack and can be eaten with various toppings such as chopped onions, chutney or other dips and condiments.

In certain parts of India, raw papadums (dried but unroasted) are used in curries and vegetable preparations. Papadums are made in different sizes. Smaller ones can be eaten like a snack chip and the larger ones can be used to make wraps.

~ Ayam kicap Vs Ayam Goreng ~

If you're a person which like to taste rich flavour of chicken, you must try the ayam kicap. It's very delicious which eventually we ordered for one more plate :) The ayam goreng is very tasty too.

Not forget to mention that the rice, vegetables and pickles can be refill without a single charge. I mean refill ya.. ;P

This restaurant is located opposite of Bangsar Village Mall 2 and next to Madam Kuan(apart few shops).

Here come my rating ;)
