The Banana Leaf Dinner at Greenbelt 3

I was going to blog this supposedly before my previous postings. So, this is a delayed post because of hectic schedules and some priorities. Anyway, here's the table setting and dine with me:

First week of May was truly wonderful. I met my very good friend, Ava at Glorietta and we were looking for a nice place to dine. She's very picky when it comes to foods. I'm always trying to anticipate her mind so that everything works perfect but it's not always been an easy task. haha One thing I can not forget when we're ordering is her choice of drink, simply a bottled water.

The evening is relaxing. It's an odd that night. Restaurants and bars didn't played loud music. We're talking about so many things while walking up to the second level of Greenbelt and I was imagining a melodious nocturnal song. I can't figure out why. Then, a few meters away, there was an interesting wooden x-board ad placed outside the glass door of the restaurant. I read it and the menus are great! I said to Ava, "Would you like to dine in this place? I thought you might like curry...". Actually, I was the one who likes curry. :)

Banana Leaf Curry House serves the best foods in town. I heard it is one of the best Asian cuisine here in the Philippines. It has been an outstanding restaurant from 2004 to 2007 awarded by the Philippine Tatler. There are wide tables inside and outside intended for groups. Banana Leaf has the same area with the neighboring restaurants and bars but the table settings, the ceiling and interior decorations provide a more spacious appearance. It serves Hainanese Chicken, Sop Laksa, Samsosa, Chicken in Pandan Leaves, Malaysian Ox-tail Soup, Prawn Sashimi, Samosa, Chili Stir Fried Crab, Malayan Curry Prawns, Nasi Goreng, Penang Char Kway, etc.

I ordered Malayan Chicken Curry with Potatoes, my friend Ava has chosen Barbecue Roasted Whole Baby Back Ribs and Penang Fried Rice with Salted Fish and Chicken was our choice.

Me and Ava enjoyed the foods and I was so full. We took the time to talk about so many things until our stomach was able to manage the foods in places. Here's our good picture taken by one of the sweet waitress in the restaurant:
