One Last Time

Normally when we are at The Mines Shopping Mall, we would eat our meals at Sepiring or Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul. This time, we decided to eat our lunch at Esquire Kitchen, The Mines.

Yong Chow fried rice that comes with a glass of herbal drink for MYR10.90++ (MYR12.71 nett after 10% service charge and 6% GST). Flavourful but quite oily. 

A glass of herbal tea and a glass of chinese tea included with the main dishes. Four different kinds of dips.

Our usual pork chop noodle with a glass of chinese tea for MYR13.90++ (MYR16.21 nett). As tasty as before. Our favourite.

Ordered an add on dish - Wor Tip - Pan Sticker (pan fried dumplings) at a special price of MYR8.30++ (MYR9.68 nett). Quite oily.

The Usual

6  Xiao Long Bao in a bamboo basket per serving - MYR8.5++ (MYR9.90 nett). Taste is acceptable.

Pork chop noodle - MYR15.90++ (MYR18.55 nett). Price is on the high side because we ordered it from the ala carte menu. Some people may feel that the pork chop is too dry and hard but I like it so we almost always order this pork chop as can be seen in this previous post.

We wanted to eat some greens so we ordered a small portion of stirfry broccoli and prawn dish for MYR21.00++ (MYR24.50 nett). There are 5 prawns in total. Good enough to fulfill my need for greens.

A glass of herbal drink at MYR4.50++ (MYR5.25 nett) and a bowl of Tofu Fah (soy bean) at MYR3.50++ (MYR4.10 nett) to share by two pax at Esquire Kitchen, Endah Parade, Sri Petaling.

We try not to eat here if we can help it due to the higher price as compared to the other neighbourhood eateries but somehow we find ourselves here eating almost the same food once in a while. The fact that it is still operating in the same location after so many years means that there are many people like us who kept coming back for more.

Fish & Rice

Stirfried ginger, spring onion and slices of fish (not sure what type of fish this is) served with rice set comes with a glass of herbal drink (drink is not shown here) - MYR11.90 (MYR13.80 after 10% service charge and 6% gov. tax) - Esquire Kitchen. Not the best but not the worst either - passable.

Wotip

We ordered from the "Happy Single Sets" menu again at Esquire Kitchen for dinner. This time as I was not that hungry, we just ordered one set to share and add on an item at a discounted price.

Pork chop noodles with herbal tea set - MYR11.90

Add on: Fried dumplings (Wotip - 锅贴) for MYR6. 锅贴 means pot sticker literally since when the dumplings were grilled, their bottom sticks stuck to the pan.

Esquire Kitchen

This restaurant has been around since I was a very little girl, about 40 years ago and I still frequent it because it has maintained the quality of the food it serves. It has an outlet in almost every major mall in the Klang valley.

We ordered our meal from the set menu as shown above.

This is my "char choy" (Cantonese - 榨菜 - pickled mustard stem) pork strip noodle with hot chinese tea (MYR8.9). The ala carte price of this noodle is MYR10.90 so this is a good deal.

My husband ordered this - curry chicken rice (ala carte price MYR9.9) and herbal tea (ala carte price MYR3.8) so for MYR11.90 this is also a good deal. The curry is way too salty for me.

This is the outlet

Service Charge: 10%

Gov. Tax: 6%

Total Bill: MYR24.15
