    So I really loved this place. However the owner and chef retired. The place changed hands and now is called oriental olive fusion Malaysian food. The menu is slightly different. Definitely had lost its edge. I wont be coming back.

    It was mentioned in a few posts in the Banana Leaf on 32nd Ave thread here: http://forums.beyond.ca/showthread.p...0&pagenumber=2

    have any others been to oriental olive? it's such a far drive for me, so i don't know if it's worth going to. urbanspoon reviews aren't that great...

    even banana leaf has gone downhill significantly since opening. I was one of the earliest customers to walk through their doors, when nobody knew they existed and the chicken rice was awesome. Now it's substantially sparser and just seems thrown together. Still the best Calgary has to offer that I know of. Guess that's what happens in a captive market.

    if what nzwasp says is accurate I'm gonna try oriental olive at least twice before making judgment to write it off

    Just letting you guys know that Tropical Delight signs are up at the old Peking House 98 spot in the strip mall at 10091 Hidden Valley Dr NW. Not sure when they open, though.

    The Peking House 98 serves really good food (it's literally just a counter in front of a kitchen so yes it will be take out only). It's a shame they're closing down; I saw the listing for the place as pretty cheap though, ~$180k? and that was at least 6 months ago.

    Good news! Really hoping you can dine-in. Takeout Laksa won't taste the same.

    Oh damm, I need to drive by there tonight and see what is going on.

    Edit:

    Looks like urbanspoon is also listing that as their address now

    OMFG I was totally confusing this place with Tropika and wondering why people were so excited. Now I'm damn excited because it's so close to me!!!

    No way. East Side>West Side

    I thought owners of Banana Leaf aren't even from SE Asia?

    I like the feng shui of the old place haha. Won't taste the same if it's not a dump in some industrial park.

    EDIT: Maybe it was takeout only before the dining area is ready.

    I seriously doubt there will be dine-in. The square footage wouldn't allow for seating of more than 4 or 6 if any at all. Peking House only had enough room for a couple chairs so you can wait while your take-out order is prepared.

    The sign out front does say "take out only", so we're unsure whether that means they won't have delivery either?

    Sounds like a new business play for beyond members to deliver Tropica Delight.

    Takeout only, maybe you can fit a few people along a the counter that is against the windows but that is it. Rest of the place is the kitchen, no room for tables at all. But they open on Thursday.
