Banana Leaf Milpitas

Banana Leaf is one of two Malaysian restaurants that we've been to in Milpitas (the other one being Penang Garden).  We prefer this one by far because of the better food, better atmosphere and pretty much better everything.  Since this place is so good, if you don't get here by 6:30pm then the wait can be easily 30 minutes to 1 hour.  One of the most popular Malaysian dishes is the Roti.  When we go to Banana Leaf, we usually get the Roti Prata which is a multi-layered Indian bread which is made really thin and served with a curry sauce.  This particular time we went, we decided to pay a little more and try the Roti Murtabak which is the same as the Roti Prata but with beef, eggs and onion.  It looked and tasted great:











Other dishes that we've tried here include:

- Red and green curries with chicken and/or beef - you can't go wrong with curry especially eaten over rice.
- Sizzling beef
- The noodles dishes of which all are very good

This time we tried a different noodle called the Ying Yong Noodles and it looked amazing and tasted just as good:












This dish consisted of two different types of noodles and the contrast between the two were pretty impressive.  There were soft noodles and fried noodles so every taste had a different texture - thus the name Ying Yong Noodles.  Highly recommend this dish if you're going to Banana Leaf in Milpitas.
