<p style="text-align: justify;">The food of South East Asia is perhaps one of the tastiest in the world. It is sweet, tangy, and spicy all at the same time, it’s a beautiful burst of flavors. One could truly say that the richness of the Asian tradition can be found in it’s food because it’s a mixture of different influences from India, China and Europe adopted by each country to create that unique taste.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">South East Asian Food can never be bland because Asia is where the Europeans discovered spices. The common thread that binds South East Asian Food is the ingredients which are mainly coconut milk, lemon grass, sugar, basil, fish paste and chili. And if you’d like to have this wonderful experience in one sitting, only one restaurant fits the bill, <a class="zem_slink" title="Banana leaf" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_leaf" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia noopener noreferrer">Banana Leaf</a>.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">A classic <strong>Banana Leaf</strong> dinner will start with <a class="zem_slink" title="Roti canai" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roti_canai" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia noopener noreferrer">Roti Canai</a> from Malaysia dipped in either curry sauce or condensed milk.

They offer the best <a class="zem_slink" title="Asian cuisine" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_cuisine" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia noopener noreferrer">Asian food</a> prepared true to it’s tradition. This is the exact <a class="zem_slink" title="Tom yum" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_yum" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia noopener noreferrer">Tom Yum Soup</a> or Pad Thai that you fell in love with in Thailand.

<p style="text-align: justify;">And when Banana Leaf says authentic it means business because the main ingredients are sourced from their country of origin and prepared by Asian chefs in all branches day in and day out. Other restaurant will just hire Asian chefs to standardize their menu but Banana Leaf makes a big investment with their expat chef who makes sure that every visit at any branch will give that unique South East Asian dining experience.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">No wonder it has become a restaurant of choice among Asian expats and Pinoy travelers who have fallen in love with Asian food. They have curved a niche in the market and is now the leading and perhaps still the only restaurant that offers traditional Asian food. Banana Leaf has also managed to stay in the list of Philippine Tatler’s Philippines Best Restaurant from 2004-2011.</p>
