Banana Leaf @ Mohana Bistro
Written by admin
The leaf and some acar (pickle)
I’ve been wanting to eat banana leaf for quite some time now. I usually go to this restaurant in Bangsar, Sri Nirwana or something like that but its really really overpriced there.
So anyway I was in Klang the other day when the bf suggested that since I’ve been wanting to eat banana leaf so he brought me to this place in Klang that was recommended by his friends.
The name of the restaurant is Mohana Bistro and its in Jalan Tengku Kelana. Its actually quite hard to find a parking there so its best to park somewhere behind the shoplots. The place was rather packed with people (mostly indians - duh?) but there was a lot of workers and we didn’t have to wait long before we were given the menu. Ah yes, unlike normal banana leaf shops, this one has menu.
Fried Fish (RM 4.00) and Vege cutlet (Rm 2.50)
We ordered the banana leaf rice which was RM4.00 each consisting of three types of vege, rice drowned in a curry of your choice and pappadum. Then we ordered 1 fried fish (RM 4.00), 1 fried chicken drumstick (RM3.00), fried bittergourd/peria (RM1.20), vegetable cutlet (RM2.50) and mushrooms cooked in some spicy sauce (RM2.00). For the drinks we had 2 teh o ais (RM1.50 x 2) and one air limau (RM1.30).
Pardon the blur photos, my photographer wasn’t too good. LOL!
The plain banana leaf was okay, they were quite generous with the vege portions and you can keep asking for more pappadum (which I like). The vege cutlet was lousy, too tough and dry. The fish and chicken was okay. I didn’t eat the mushrooms.
Basically the food was okay. But what I really didn’t like was the fact that it was mostly all precooked. The chicken and fish were all fried and stacked up so that all you had to do was choose it from a tray. But i guess, for the total price of RM25 and loads of different dishes, it was quite reasonable.
