It has been awhile since I ate in Banana Leaf. I remembered before when DH and I were still dating, we ate one whole crab in Banana Leaf. We can't do that anymore. DH has since been allergic to crabs. Don't ask me why, ok?!

When I saw the restaurant in Promenade, Greenhills, memories of good food came flashing back! I was with my parents during my visit. The restaurant was empty save for a lone guest when we came in. The server was quick to usher us to our table and handed us the menu.

We ordered tilapia with sambal. This order came out last but we ate it with gusto. The sambal taste sweet and much like a shrimp paste. The fish meat is filleted and cut into rectangular shapes. The meat is then placed on top of the fish.

Sambal is a chili based sauce made vegetable or fruits and spices.

It's been years since my last visit in this restaurant. My friend, CML, always has good words for this restaurant. So when we went to Makati yesterday and saw it, I gave DH a nudge to have our dinner there. We only have 45 minutes for dinner before the movie 2012 starts. Buti nalang, the service was fast.

I like the ceiling light design and also their wall in the dining area... very artsy- fartsy.
