The Rojak salad was novel and a great start to the meal. I wasn't impressed with the char kway teow here as it lacked flavor outside of the wok char. My favorite dish was the mee goreng by far. I could eat that daily! The laksa was also authentic and delicious. My mom had the Hainan chicken and said it was very good as well. I'm so glad we found this place just around the corner from where we were staying in Surrey - an excellent Malay find! Will be back for sure!

When I'm in the neighbourhood, I order my favourite noodles from Auntie Irene. They don't have these all the time but when they do, it's always so delicious! Loh shi fun is the name and they are cooked perfectly with minced pork, bbq pork in a beautifully balanced sauce. It's equally good with their regular lo mee noodles! And make sure you add their pickled chilies for a nice spicy and vinegary kick. I can't wait to come back here again!

I would skip the lunch tasting course. It was a bit misleading since it says multiple courses, but…read moreeverything just comes out on one plate. I didn't really enjoy most of the items, and the dessert was only okay. That said, their chicken and rice is absolutely delicious and worth coming back for.

While doing some shopping in South Surrey, B.C. we happened upon a cute restaurant, Banana Leaf…read moreMalaysian Cuisine. In addition to South Surrey, they have 4 other locations the greater Vancouver area (Robson, Broadway & Oak, Kitsilano, and Davie). Up until this point, I had never tried Malaysian Cuisine, was always curious, but it just never happened. On a side note, I remember the first time I tried Thai food, back in Nashville when I was in my mid 30s. Odd that it took me that long and even odder considering I grew up in Brooklyn and New York City, the melting pot of the country. I didn't really have a concept of the distinction between different types of Asian food, my only point of reference was Chinese food. I remember being blown away upon that first time trying Thai food (and hooked ever since) and the experience was quite the same with my experience with Malaysian cuisine. We meant to order two appetizers but through a miscommunication, actually ordered three, oops! It was a good problem to have. Between the appetizers and the main dishes, while each course was a generous serving, nothing was heavy or made me feel bloated in any way. At the same time, the flavors just seemed to burst, with very distinct and pleasing tastes while combined with beautifully decorative touches that were aesthetically appetizing! The Eggplant Fries were really interesting. Personally, I find eggplant can be challenging to work, to get flavored just right and get cooked enough so it's not rough to eat but not cooked so much that it becomes mushy. Maybe it's just me but I do struggle with that at times. I found the fries to be a perfect balance between firm enough to warrant being called "fries" with just the right amount of chew, not too mushy. The Spring Roll Lettuce Wraps were beautiful, creative and imaginative. You place the spring roll inside the lettuce along with the vibrant red cabbage, fold the lettuce and dip into the sauce *chef's kiss* Both the Tofu Goreng appetizer and Tumeric Coconut Spinach were bursting with flavor. The Pineapple Fried Rice also had an amazing depth of flavor along with the beautiful presentation inside the pineapple. Last, but definitely not least .. I've never had anything like their Mango Margarita. As clear to see in the picture, it's filled with fresh ripe whole mango pieces which really helped elevate this drink to the next stratosphere lol. If this is what I can expect when eating Malaysian Cuisine, count me in for a repeat performance!

Overall, had a really great time, fast food, chill atmosphere, and good energy all around.

Amongst the food we ordered, I particularly liked the Hainanese chicken and Pandan leaf chicken skewer. The Hainanese chicken was tender and went well with the yellow rice. The chicken skewer had a subtle floral Pandan taste which I liked. Their Char Kuey Teow was pretty good too. There were shrimps, squids and fish cakes in it. It has Wok Hei. I have been to the Burnaby branch of SH before and I like this Coquitlam branch more.

I phoned in the order for pick-up (vegetarian roti without egg; $18.95 plus tax) and it was ready 15 minutes later. The kotthu was well-made, with plenty of curry leaves and a nice array of spices, without being too spicy. There were plenty of veggies (cabbage, onion, okra, green beans, carrot, and cauliflower), and plenty of shredded roti of course. I'd say it lacked a little salt but that's better than being over-salted. The portion was very large and filling. Far from the best vegan kotthu I've had but it's such a rare dish to find that I appreciated this very much. I would definitely return. Recommended.
