Sri Nirvana Banana Leaf Lunch

 first a banana leaf was slapped on my table

 then one of the many foreign workers came with a pot of rice and gave me some

 next he dished out three types of vegetables

 I supposed they came with the whole package

 ready with a pose for me

 then he came again with three types of curries: fish, chicken and dhall

 then, he came with chillies: glazed whole chilies and sour cream long beans

 there! a meal in itself, but I had pre ordered fish!

 close up of the whole chilies and long beans

 chicken curry and fish curry mixed together because he said the boss won't allow separate plates like I requested.  Small bowl of sour soup 

 my fish, papadum and drink came

 ikan tenggiri (mackerel) that costs more than the main vegetarian set meal

 Isn't that a bit too much for one person? 

the vegetarian set itself would suffice for me

 crowded: even though it was already 3 oclock!

 even though it was busy, one of the owners(maybe the son)

came to serve me quickly, asking me whether I had placed my order.

unlike other busy joints which are too busy they do not

care if you patronise their place or not

 close up of the vegetable dishes: okra in deep fried crispy batter: my favourite

 cabbage in santan with carrots and sawi seeds (mustard leaves seeds)

 cucumber in salad dressing

 I had a table to myself but not for long, a couple came to sit at my table, due to lack of space

 do join me, so I don't have to eat alone, won't you?

 I did not use my fingers, I asked for fork and spoon

 I also asked for a refill of the long beans

 finished! I "ta- paued" the fish and papadum, (doggy bagged them)

The couple who took my table: they had double of the fried fsih and had an additional

double serving of fried crispy sotong (squid)

Restoran Sri Nirvana Manju Sdn Bhd

My bill: expensive for vegetarian rice

and a piece of fish!

Got this from the net:
