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.

    1. The ginger slices in vinegar dip is mainly for the pan fried dumplings/wor tip.

  3. All look good, I always liked Esquire but I think they were better a long long time ago in the 80's, 1986 to be exact - at Sg Wang and then there was an outlet at Bukit Bintang, opposite Federal but it closed down soon after. Been to the Mid Valley outlet a couple of times, did not think they were that good, and things did not come cheap so I never went back again.

    1. Esquire kitchen is no longer in midvalley. At least not at where they used to be. I didn't go look for them around midvalley to see whether they have relocated to another spot.

    2. No more? The one next to the sports shop, sports clothes and equipment? Never mind, no love lost - have not gone for a long long time.

  10. Esquire is getting pricey now with their new menu. It was my late parents' favourite place.

    I have not visited The Mines Shopping Mall after they have refurbished. I used to bring tourists there to ride the boats and they loved the concept inside the mall. I was told the mall actually copied this water concept from a famous mall in Texas.

  11. The wor tip looks a bit burnt?

    I think I had dined at Esquire once or twice only, din't have a good impression also... Too many other eateries to choose now.

  12. The many times I dined in Esquire kitchen, we always had lauk pauk kind of meal coz those days my colleagues simply love Esquire Kitchen and always dragged us there.

    I never know they have this kinda of food.

    1. That's because you don't have to look through their menu as your colleagues ordered all the food.

  13. I haven't been to Esquire in a while. The last trip was to the 1u one where food was not good. But I have fond memories of many other trips there with my dad, so must go one day...
