Have you ever eaten leaf rice? Incidentally yesterday we had a liwetan event, or ate together at my friend's house, and ate it on banana leaves. As seen in the picture, the rice is mixed with sliced ??eggs, chilies, petai and other spices, then placed on a banana leaf, and placed in a basket. It feels so good. This dish is very simple, but it tastes good Image is mine

I once went at an Indian wedding and we had food on a fresh banana leaf.

It was a tradition in India to have meals on banana leaves. It's not so common these days but we still see it in many functions and many households especially in Southern states of India. I love eating meals on banana leaves. I think it tastes better.

Yes, in our place, we still often use banana leaves for food containers, such as rice and side dishes. It smells better.

@Rashnag Yes, maybe because banana leaves are also herbs.

They say that eating rice from a banana leaf gives you that added aroma for a more appetizing feel. But I don't know whether that is true or not.

Does the banana leaf add some kind of flavor or is it just for the aesthetics ?

Banana leaves certainly add to the aroma of the food more fragrant, so the food is more delicious.

You can try it once in a while. Surely the sensation is different from feeding using a plate

It feels so good to eat on a banana leaf. The vendor in our office puts the rice on it very nice.
