I like to eat banana leaf rice (MYR7.50) and when I read about the tasty mango chutney at this place, I had to go and eat it. The mango chutney is right next to the curry gravy on top of the rice. The skin is still on the mango and I ate it as well. Taste quite like the pickled mango skin I used to eat when I was a little girl but sweeter and I can detect a slight glue taste to it so I did not quite like it as I thought I would.
Mutton curry - MYR10
Papadam and deep fried gourd - part of the banana rice meal
Deep fried gourd up close.
Nasi Lemak fried chicken - MYR6.60
Mango Lassi - MYR6.20 - sweet and I can taste lychee syrup - so strange
We did not sit upstairs where air-cond is available
This is the popular place due to the affordable price
No service charge but GST = yes.
The MYR2.50 is for iced Nescafe coffee. 3 of us ate banana leaf rice so that accounts for the MYR22.50 shown in the receipt above.
My mother used to make awesome mango chutney but just last year when I asked her, she said she has forgotten how to make it already as she lost the recipe! Sobs. My hubs doesn't like indian food so I can never drag him to eat here. I've eaten banana leaf meal ONCE and once only with my colleagues decades ago :(
ReplyDeleteSo sad to hear your mother has forgotten how to make the tasty mango chutney. So your husband is a true blue Chinese food guy? Hopefully Ethan or Ayden will accompany you to eat banana leaf rice next time. :)
DeleteI really like mango chutney. It's great on sandwiches too.
ReplyDeleteSince it is sweet and sourish, it will taste like mango jam on bread I guess. :)
DeleteNever eaten mango chutney before but I know it's nice.. I've seen how they're madw from the Food Network channel, very sweet & refreshing one..
ReplyDeleteBut this one I can detect a slight clue taste which I don't quite like.
DeleteWow, the drink price is almost same as the rice???
ReplyDeleteJust look carefully, I guess you've type wrong on the price, is RM2.50, instead of RM6.20
No, that MYR2.50 is for iced nescafe coffee. The mango lassi reallly costs MYR6.20
DeleteWhen I eat banana leaf rice, I hardly bother to find out what's what for the side dishes. I just eat whatever they serve me.
ReplyDeleteHmm, the price seems okay though...
Small Kucing posts that mango chutney is only available on Fri and weekends so I went during weekend just to eat the mango chuthey. Yes the price is very ok since you can ask them to top up the rice and curry I think.
DeleteOh, I've heard a lot about this place...one of the best around but have not tried yet.
ReplyDeleteI think the banana leaf curry shop at Damansara Uptown is nicer.
DeleteI love banana leaf rice too!! and this Devi's Corner is one famous one, I guess have to go there very early to get a parking space, right?? the things I love most is the deep fried bitter gourd, aiyoh so nice I fell in love with it the first time I had it, haha!! not a fans of mutton but give me that fried chicken (breast or ribs I insist no thigh or drumstick).. and oh, not forgetting the papadom :p
ReplyDeleteWe went at 12 noon and parked at the Bangsar Medan Selera car park. MYR1.50 per hour and it was quite ok.
DeleteMun, I like banana leaf rice, mango chutney, tomato chutney also I like. Papadam and deep friend bitter gourd and of course mango lassi...now I am missing all these, yums!
ReplyDeleteI guess there are some eateries in Ipoh serving tasty banana leaf rice too.
DeleteMy friends' favourite banana leaf place. I always ask for extra mango chutney when I go to any banana leaf eateries.
ReplyDeleteYes I think I read from your friends' blog about this so I went there to try. :)
Deletelong time no eat banana leaf rice...
ReplyDeleteThere is none in Sri Petaling I think.
DeleteNever tasted mango chutney before but I do not think I would enjoy it. Hehe.
ReplyDeleteYou prefer fresh mangoes, right?
DeleteDeep-fried gourd? Well, that sounds like a tasty bite, Mun! xoxo
ReplyDeleteGood for snacking.
DeleteI love banana leaf rice! All those little bits of condiments make it so appetizing. I love mango chutney and there is also a mango curry that I had many, many years ago. That was really good but I haven't been able to find it yet.
ReplyDeleteYou can't remember the place where you ate that mango curry? Or did it move away to somewhere else?
DeleteI'm dying to taste mango chutney! Never heard of it ! :D
ReplyDeleteI think you can easily cook your own since you can cook so well. Just need to google for a recipe. :)
DeleteMy friend just had Ice Lassi on Friday (Public Holiday in Singapore).
ReplyDeletePlain lassi? Friday was a public hol here too.
DeleteI like that Nasi Lemak
ReplyDeleteI like to eat nasi lemak too.
DeleteI never learnt to appreciate chutney... but will happily go for all the other things in your pics!
ReplyDeleteChutney too sweet for you?
DeleteTastes weird to me hehe.
DeleteI think it must be the spices.
