Banana Leaf Bonanza

I met Arik for dinner at Banana Leaf, the Malaysian restaurant in Milpitas - always so nice to sit and catch up with him. I promised to flog (defn: To capture culinary adventures in a food log) our visit given we've been there half dozen times and never remember what we ordered. On this visit we had:
Gado Gado - Indonesian tofu salad with thick peanut sauce (excellent)
Roti Prata - Flatbread with curry sauce (always a good starter)
Mango Chicken - Pieces of chicken, mango and peppers in a sweet sauce (could have been tastier)
Pad Thai - Sweet and spicy sauce over noodles with thick chunks of chicken, shrimp, tofu and squid. This is one of the best pad thai's I have ever had (OK, not counting in Thailand)
