Banana Leaf Restaurant Making Millions | Tony Lim | In The Studio

[@mohdshahizzan4737]

One seven or seven zero. Wow 😂 literally my reaction. Well done BananaBro. Hope it can control SEA market

[@wingchun67]

Amazing how they make so much money but don’t spend much to keep their restaurant clean. Seriously one of the worst food chain around in terms of cleanliness

[@MarcusLengVC]

Compare with normal mamak I feel it is clean.

[@wingchun67]

@@MarcusLengVC ur comparing apple to oranges dude. Look at their prices compare to mamak.

[@400malaya]

​@@wingchun67 u think mamak is cheap is it? They're already expensive like these type of restaurants also..

[@chankarina7081]

Yes, their cleanliness & maintenance of the kitchen is questionable. Was at the IOI mall Puchong outlet for dinner on Thurs (22/8), down with diarrhea few hrs later. I hope the authority can give a surprise check on this food chain. Seriously I won't go back again, the food is below expectation.

[@lray7000]

Food quality has dropped alot since then..probably with the rapid expansion..

[@sivabalan7614]

Banana Bro is a highly franchised fast food banana leaf concept-all ready made items that need to be heated up . The food is terrible. They can't claim a banana leaf.

[@Kash-is-King]

Honestly what do you expect? Top-notch quality food? Look at this guy--he's a typical 2nd generation chinaman with an established family business in logistics...

[@blastmeister]

Well, like what Tony said, your version of banana leaf rice probably have higher standard and finer but theirs is to bring the comfort of banana leaf rice to the masses. You can always build another brands and provide a better, tastier banana leaf rice like the way they do.

[@Kash-is-King]

@@blastmeister comfort food in select high-end locations, like Oriental Kopi?! Please lah brother, we need to stop endorsing these kinda FnB franchises. It’s always the same sh* - good locations, serve staple Msian menu, scale & open more outlets, show rapid topline growth, PE masuk, IPO exit and then what? Gulung tikar lor. Seriously quality of food has never been front and centre!! Just look at Old Town and Paparich

[@proteinlabmys]

Why not you open and try one out yourself? Taste is subjective and if you think you can do better you can try? When someone is successful in business it is easy to bash them

[@bmz4828]

@@proteinlabmys he doesnt need to do better. having a tongue is basically the barrier to entry.

[@editionlvl]

Went twice but never went back again...food quality is terrible

[@Sushiriceoreo]

Whatever keep yapping…our sales are still gon go up 😂

[@editionlvl]

​@Sushiriceoreo yeah they are selling on convenience , if you are desperate to eat banana leaf meal in a mall then people will go. But taste is far far from ideal

[@davidthen123]

Couldn't find this in Spotify Popcast, is it available in Spotify?

[@sashikumarganesan]

welldone tony and team.. lets talk about consignment deserts with us

[@Hu3yN9]

Another success factor is social media/foodie influencers.

[@fgd1883]

Anne Zie I love original banana leaf kg style shop. Modernize to supplement it as digital era good must ensure quality and taste nvr change.😊

[@natico-w812]

revenue and profit got difference bro, cannot imagine BFM also produce clickbaits tsk tsk

[@SquadGame-Fun]

Interviewer conveniently forgot to ask the most important question.. How much money are they burning and how many stores they have to open for them to turn profitable. Such a soft journalism.

[@leeheemeng3799]

Idk I think their food is okay . Just like McDonald's don't sell the best burgers but sell consistent and familiar taste throughout their branches

[@cheapogeorge9001]

You forgot Penang; I just ate there, haha.

[@burongkakak]

I am not surprise

[@daryllee5556]

The food is terrible

[@erekit]

Went there twice. Overall satisfied with their food taste.

[@fightforjustice11]

price expensive, not sure ppl will spend that much for just banana leaves experience haha.... normal mamak better in evry aspect...time waiting, quality food cant say much.

[@UrbanArtCentral]

IPO?

[@felixthecat6284]

YAH....EXPENSIVE PRICE

[@justin-pv6ff]

Sales will drop just like their dropping standard of service and food quality.

[@fgd1883]

Anne Zie. Franchised means like fast food that's why the taste gone. Frm original recipe tofast good stule

Kalau puak2 pengganas tak suka, boleh pi Palestine atau Yemen atau Syria 😂

[@larf-eb7pd]

​@@DTI.M yes i know u are implying malays as pengganas which i do not agree. but i guess u are the type that finds joy from giving such comments

[@hasnanhashim4386]

You the blardy racist making an issue out of this

[@bdsystemsb]

We enjoy eating at BananaBro.

[@shakir4969]

with 30 outlets, 70 mil doesnt really add up in my opinion. Im not buying it. Maybe half the number, can trust a bit

[@jojo-dx2bo]

he is lying , try to sell , dnt trust chinese is chinese

[@nesh-2495]

But the food is terrible. The real banana leaf food wont be like this looks like its just for a business. As an Indian, i feel so sorry for my malay and chinese friends who trust our indian banana leaf food taste like this in banana bro. Noway! I think mamak food better than banana leaf food in banana bro, sorry to say but that's the truth. Very salty, no proper workers. Very very bad. If you really wants to eat indian banana leaf, go to Indian restaurant, not mamak ok, i mean real Indian restaurant.

[@kpkhoo]

Not delicious at all

[@rise_and_shinestar7897]

Yeah its not delicious, but heck they making 9figures in revenue. And translate that to profits its a 7 figures profit. There will be many who like, and many too who don't.
