Banana Leaf July 7

I met Arik for dinner in Milpitas before hockey. We went to Banana Leaf, a great Malaysian place that we've been to before. We started with the Roti Prata - flatbread to dip in curry sauce. We had the Mango Chicken and the Red Curry with tofu/vegetables as mains. The Mango Chicken was excellent, sweet and saucy served in a mango and mixed with chunks of mango, and red and green peppers. The Red Curry was also very tasty - tofu with green beans, potatoes, eggplant and okra. Actually the tofu was the fried spongy bean curd stuff which was probably the least appetizing item from the dish. I liked the Red Curry because it wasn't too creamy. We didn't order dessert but the waitress brought us homemade mango ice cream anyway. I haven't had a bad meal here - all the dishes are always so tasty.
