点评:Full Disclosure: I am a family member of the owner of Big Leaf restaurant and have repeatedly eaten there since its opening. Leaving Malaysia as a young adult, I never returned to live there but have returned regularly for many years. There are already many posted comments about the food served, and indeed this restaurant’s dishes are authentic, consistently tasty and of high quality. But as an experienced traveler who values the immersive cultural experiences of non-touristy restaurants, I’m inspired to offer additional details.
This restaurant is affordably priced, peacefully quiet and located in a safe residential neighborhood. For seasoned travelers seeking to eat among “real” people and not just tourists, Big Leaf is a great find. If you haven’t already guessed, the food is served directly onto appropriately-sized banana leaf sections. It’s not only traditional and charming but also eliminates unneeded water usage.
Big Leaf is non-smoking and does not serve alcohol. The food has plenty of variety and vegetarians can eat well here. They have a younger Indian Malaysian chef who enjoys preparing traditional Indian cuisine with quality ingredients that respect her culture’s culinary traditions. Meals are served in a quiet, open-air surrounding with a full roof that allows fresh air without unwanted wind or rain. Patrons are mostly locals of varied cultural origins. There is ample staffing with prompt service who are polite and of varying nationalities. Lots of pictures of the premises and the food on their website. This is the kind of restaurant we look for on our various culinary and cultural adventures around the world.
翻译:全面披露:我是 Big Leaf 餐厅老板的家人,自餐厅开业以来,我多次在那里用餐。我年轻时离开马来西亚,从未再回去居住,但多年来经常回去。已经有很多关于这家餐厅所供应食物的评论,这家餐厅的菜肴确实正宗、始终美味且质量上乘。但作为一名重视非旅游餐厅沉浸式文化体验的经验丰富的旅行者,我很想提供更多细节。
这家餐厅价格实惠,环境安静,位于安全的住宅区。对于想要在“真实”的人而不仅仅是游客中用餐的经验丰富的旅行者来说,Big Leaf 是一个绝佳的选择。如果您还没有猜到,食物直接放在大小合适的香蕉叶上。这不仅传统而迷人,而且还避免了不必要的用水。
Big Leaf 禁止吸烟,也不提供酒精饮料。食物种类丰富,素食者可以在这里吃得很好。他们有一位年轻的马来西亚印度厨师,她喜欢用优质食材烹制传统印度美食,尊重其文化的烹饪传统。餐厅在安静的露天环境中供应餐点,屋顶可以通风,不会有风雨。顾客大多是来自不同文化背景的当地人。餐厅员工充足,服务及时,彬彬有礼,国籍各异。餐厅网站上有很多餐厅和食物的照片。这是我们在世界各地进行各种美食和文化探险时寻找的那种餐厅。
