It is one of those rare occasions when the grown ups get to choose to eat wherever we want when we had one delicious dining experience, complete with coconut soup and curry. For starters, I was not a big fan of spicy food and curry until we tried an authentic thai cuisine a few years back and we absolutely loved it!
We ventured past the array of restaurants at the 4th level of Trinoma undecided on where to take our rather late lunch and saw a great place to have some curry and Thai, Banana Leaf.
It was a bit past lunch time so we decided on something heavy to fill our hungry stomachs and opted for their Thai Coconut Seafood Soup, Malayan Beef Curry with Potatoes, and Stir Fired Prawns in Malayan Coconut Curry. Of course, we also ordered cups of rice to pair with the dishes. I also tried their Iced Lemon Grass with Honey to pair with my meal and I loved it!
The Thai Coconut Seafood Soup {288} is really yummy! I love the delicious blend of different seafood, while the coconut milk lends an appetizing sweet flavor to the soup. It was a refreshing soup to start a lovely meal, especially on a hot afternoon.
The Malayan Beef Curry {288} is just delicious! It is so much like our local kaldereta but just creamier. The potatoes in this dish is also a treat for potato-lovers like me!
Our hands-down favorite will have to be the Stir Fired Prawns in Malayan Coconut Curry {398}, the prawns is cooked just right and smothered with this creamy and mouth-watering sauce.
We absolutely enjoyed our Banana Leaf lunch. I also love that we get to eat on banana leaves which we do not experience regularly. The food serving is big and the crew are friendly and attentive. We also love the relaxed ambiance and the soft martin guitar playing on the background, just about right to whet any diner’s appetite.
We are so full by the time we finished, we had no space left for desserts. We even had some leftovers to take home for dinner!
Are we going back to dine at Banana Leaf? I cannot wait. I would love to try their other dishes as well as their yummy desserts!
