Popular Banana Leaf Restaurant in Bangsar Issues Public Apology After Disgusting Video Goes Viral

Besides the bustling nightlife, Bangsar is known for its amazing choices of Banana Leaf Rice. Heck, there are a handful of Banana Leaf Rice restaurants to choose from!

However, one restaurant may have suffered a huge dent to their name as a video of the establishment went viral – and to be honest, it’s pretty hard to watch.

In a video that has since gotten over 30k shares in less than 3 hours, it shows a few workers washing the plates by the streets. What was shocking was the sight of these workers using the pooled water on the road to ‘clean’ the plates.

Very shortly after the video was posted, the banana leaf rice restaurant issued a public apology in regards to the issue on Facebook. The post goes:
