Me personally I like my food to actually taste of something. If that happens to be in a small eatery with plastic chairs and a few marks on the wall then so be it.<br />Have you been to China Town recently as there are some pretty good places to eat these days. <br />Not all Mzunguhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01551298095864666137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6031718964715496563.post-22207885552356137122011-11-17T15:33:15.265+00:002011-11-17T15:33:15.265+00:00To Chinatown??

You may like it rough and raw, but I am not willing to be directed by some hostile server to dine in a rancid basement and have no say in the matter. And to add to insult, at the end I am given a bill that I cannot comprehend, and when queried they get all stroppy and I get all timid!! Why can't they smile a bit more and make their customer feel a bit more Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6031718964715496563.post-78695658561840166822011-11-10T20:48:34.697+00:002011-11-10T20:48:34.697+00:00Mr N - Let's hope people can wander down towar...Mr N - Let's hope people can wander down towards China Town and they'll be able to find much better and cheaper alternatives.<br /><br />Anom - Looks like you had a lucky night. But that's the 2nd Banana Tree restaurant I've been into and both were pretty bad.Mzunguhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01551298095864666137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6031718964715496563.post-10066032316038541782011-11-08T10:57:05.039+00:002011-11-08T10:57:05.039+00:00I am not a fan of chains either, but hand on heart...I am not a fan of chains either, but hand on heart, I cannot find a better place serving such authentic Rendang and excellent Satay in the current Malaysian/Indonesian dining scene.(Although Puji Puji did have that level of quality when they were operating in Oriental City, Collindale all those years ago) Perhaps I was just lucky with these two dishes but rumour has it that they do a good Laksa Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6031718964715496563.post-77598011845743918322011-11-07T08:42:12.122+00:002011-11-07T08:42:12.122+00:00Not a dissimilar experience to my own, except your...Not a dissimilar experience to my own, except your choices seem even blander! Like other chains such as Ping Pong, I only hope that Banana Tree acts as a gateway to the true delights of the East by encouraging diners to check out places that do this food justice.Mr Noodleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13327242172810414292noreply@blogger.com
