The Banana Leaf is a truly Malaysian celebration of flavours where there are more Chinese lining up to eat the Saapadu spread than actually ethnic Tamizh’s.

As the Shankar of @firebyshankar says, Malaysian Tamizh food is very different, The Saapadu on the Banana Leaf, is very Malaysian with sambal, tahu and tempe which we don’t get in India.

For a country so green with plantation cover, the Banana leaf is an apt metaphor.

Selamat Hari Merdeka, Malaysia- a post colonial success story.
