The Banana Leaf

Random adventures. This is what life is about.

I was in Orem, called Kris, picked her up from the MTC. We went to a new restaurant. None of this was planned.

The restaurant was The Banana Leaf. In a cute little cottage house, owned by an adorable couple of newlyweds. He is from Srilanka. She is from California. She speaks ASL. He is a genius in the kitchen.

He explained the nutritous effects of cooking with and serving food upon banana leafs. Aren't they beautiful? We had pa'an with tikka masala chicken curry with apricot chutney. It.was.divine.
Every bite.
Was savory.
Mmm!

We also ate this roti dish with marinated beef, an eggy/flour base, and lemon chutney with chili sauce. Dang, it was gooood.

We ate it all. We licked our banana leaves clean.

Did I mention the avocado juice?

Our hosts were so wonderful and sweet; we were the first customers of the afternoon, so we had the whole place to ourselves. It was cozy. We sat next to the Christmas tree.

All of you should GO! Go and support this wonderful, delicious, family-owned business. The experience was delightful. We're going back soon to try the rest of the {seasonal}{fresh} menu.
