Best Banana Leaf Rice in KL or PJ

How to order a banana leaf rice 

1) Tell the waiter how many set you would like.one set comes with rice,curries,vegetables,and sometime rasam(a sour spicy drink).the waiter will place a banana leaf on your table,scoop rice on it,then brings over the different type of curries(usually chicken,fish and daal curry)and vege(usually fried bittergourd,cabbage and cucumber ),and papadum cracker,and pour onto your banana leaf.these rice,curries and vegetables are refillable in most places.
2)order your meat dish to go with your banana leaf set.usual orders are fried chicken,fried fish,mutton varuval,chicken perattal,fried sotong.
3)for non spicy eaters,make sure you order mango lassi drink in case your mouth feels like its on fire.
3)when you are finished with eating,fold your banana leaf in half inwards,aka towards you.
