Muthu Banana Leaf Restaurant

Few people know that Muthu Banana Leaf Restaurant has been around for over 80 years in Penang. Even if you grew up in Penang, you will be excused for not knowing this place as this unassuming shop has no signage, tucked in between heritage shophouses along Lebuh Acheh. No wonder many have simply missed this place. The only thing that makes Muthu Banana Leaf Restaurant stands out from its neighbours is its yellow painted façade.

就算你是土生土长的槟城人也未必来过这间已有超过80年历史的香蕉叶饭餐馆。这店隐藏在乔治市中心狭窄的一条路，又没有招牌，唯一的特点就是那黄色的油漆。

Lebuh Acheh is right in the middle of the heritage enclave of George Town. There are many significant buildings and architecture to explore in the surrounding, all within walking distance. This area is one of the first settlement of the city and it is clearly evident in its narrow streets and laneways.

这地方乃是乔治市古迹中心，周围有许多历史景点只需步行便可到达，真的值得参观。

The menu is simple, authentic banana leaf rice that comes with 4 condiments. The staff will then bring a tray of mains for you to choose from. There are three types of curries available: Crab curry, Chicken curry, and Fish curry. Like all of us experts in Malaysia, we like to mix all three to get the best flavour! The dishes are so rich in flavors with the variety of Indian spices.

习惯吃香蕉叶饭的人都知道，服务员会端出来几道菜任顾客选择。这家有三种加里汁：螃蟹加里，鸡加里和鱼加里。大多马来西亚人都知道最明确的选择就是三种汁都要！！
