For this blog entry, I am not gonna dwell too much into the food as I have been there many times over & many of you as well.
Ok but since this is a travel/ food blog I would have to do well at least a bit on it.

This is a place that sells varieties of dishes, drinks & desserts. From Malay, Chinese, Thai, Western & even Middle Eastern. This place has it all.
If you can't decide where to eat, you would just have to come here and you'll be delighted at the amount of varieties they have here.

In all the time I have visited Banafee Village, the below are what I liked the most & would recommend them to you.

• Mix Grill. An array of nice BBQ beef, chicken & muttons with the arabic bread & sauce.

• "Sup Ekor" (Oxtail Soup). This is THE BOMB! The broth is full of flavour and heavily spiced up. You have to try this. Could go along with rice or french loaf.

• "Nasi Ayam Penyet" (Smashed Chicken Rce) . A very generic food but still an awesomely smashing dish to have here. I always asked for the extra "ulam" salad as they go along very well with the "sambal" chili paste.

•  Mongol Chicken. The spices of this dish will satisfy you.

Along with all the food varieties they have, this place is a suitable venue for all ages. It is family friendly & always have a great acoustic band to accompany you
throughout. (Band starts at 9 pm) The reggae band on Sunday night is the best!

A tip for everyone. Parking is aplenty but there's always a crowd during dinner and I suggest you just forget about parking but instead directly send your car to the in-house car wash.
For RM10, you just drop your car, they will wash, tyre shine & vacuum it for you. Ohh they would park it for you as well. How's that for RM10..?! Come on. Don't cringe on this


On football nights, they have this big projector screens which would show the match LIVE. So you soccer fanatics could also have your dinner & then "Lepak" watching your team fight it out with the Sheesha. :)
