Meant to put this up some time ago but kept procrastinating the uploading of photos from my camera.... This was during the church camp at Sungai Petani. The young people ajak us out for lunch with them... this is where we went, banana leaf rice at Sri Ananda Bahwan in Sungai Petani. They have a few branches in Penang. This one is located somewhere near the old SP District Hospital. We'd been there once but SP wasn't exactly familiar territory. Our trusty Garmin came in handy... 8) It got us there with minimal hassle!
You've got to walk down into the restaurant as it is lower than the road. We chose to makan in the air-con room but it's rather cramped as they try to squeeze in too many tables in a small narrow rectangle space.
First they lay our 'plates'... these are nature's disposable plates. Then the waiter came with all the goodies and dished them onto our banana leaves.
This is almost the complete set, minus the rice... We also ordered extra chicken and mutton to go along with the standard fare.
This is all the stuff that we're supposed to stuff into our stomachs. Oh ya! Apart from the rice, we also ordered extra beriyani rice...
There's also this warm ginger taste yoghurt drink to wash down our food. But our gal didn't like the smell. I found it quite soothing...
'Plates' all cleaned up with nature's fork and spoon also. But you can always ask for those metal ones if you do not know how to use your hands. LOL! Food is okay-lah but the experience is priceless as there was one among us who had never eaten this before. And Sam will leave for his studies soon.... so memories are made of these.

AJ 7, that's sinfully delicious. Your penance is 5 hours of hard work at the gymn. (Anyway worth every morsel)LOL
AJ 7, btw it is also our regular stop on the way back from Penang. There is one more branch at Butterworth. The main one is in Penang's Little India. The sour "Lasam" is good. That reminds me, it was time for a visit.
5 hours of gym in exchange for food? I think it's a fair exchange. What is life if we don't enjoy one of its main pleasures - FOOD!? LOL! Eat while we still can... that's living!
If you go to the branch in Penang's little india, after you've eaten, go for 'dessert'. ask for 'apple'. serious! It's a sweet (super sweet) thingy in the shape of an apple. but very small. like one of their yogurty piece of sweet stuff.
Illustrator: I got a better suggestion than the branch.. let you in on a secret... tomorrow we're having a makan get-together at a lagi oomph place! 8)
Hey! that's a 'below d belt' blow! Dun lah tell me when you having such super nice dinner at 'some place'! Sigh.....
I'm creating my own 'oomph' place in melaka with my own baking. Made superlicious mini quiches last week. over the weekend made moist chocolate pudding.
And so far, 2% of mum's baking paraphernalia has made the journey south! When you wan pies again? :o)
You wan to come back???? 8) Tell us when and I get the orders. He! He!
