Just like old times.

There's nothing quite so satisfying as digging into rice drenched with assorted curries, spiced meat, and three or four vegetable side dishes — served on fresh banana leaves

Frequenting banana leaf rice restaurants for a quick supper with a group of friends is one of the best pre-lockdown memories shared by many Malaysians.

Although we may not be able to dine in during lockdown, we can still enjoy our favourite banana leaf rice dishes... just like old times (minus the banana leaf).

Here are eight restaurants that can deliver banana leaf rice right to your home:

Kanna Curry House is well-known for its rich gravies and exquisite dishes that are infused with a secret blend of South Indian herbs and spices. Each portion consists of white rice, three types of vegetables, two types of curry, papadam, rasam, fried chillies, and pickles.
