Description:
One of the city's best spots for Malaysian food, Banana Leaf is just a hop and a skip from English Bay. The menu includes inventive specials such as mango and okra salad, delicious south Asian mainstays such as gado gado (a salad with hot peanut sauce), mee goreng (fried noodles with vegetables topped by a fried egg), and occasional variations such as an assam curry (seafood in hot-and-sour curry sauce), with okra and tomato. Must-trys are sambal green beans and a signature chili crab. For dessert, don't pass up pisang goreng -- fried banana with ice cream. The 7-course tasting menu (C$25/£12) lets you sample a bit of everything. The small room is tastefully decorated in dark tropical woods; service is very friendly. Other locations at 820 W. Broadway (tel. 604/731-6333) and in Kitsilano at 3005 W. Broadway (tel. 604/734-3005); same prices and hours apply.
