>Esquire Kitchen of Taipei
>It’s lunchtime on Sunday. Me+hubby decided to have lunch at Soon Lei Fish Head Noodle @ Jalan Kuchai Lama but it was packed to the brim as the queue line extended to outside the restaurant.. 🙁
Since waiting is a no-no under the freaking hot sun (my soon-to-be-born baby was playing tantrum inside me) so we circled around that area for another restaurant.
Choices are aplenty as there are many restaurants at every nook & cranny of Kuchai Lama area~~ Finally we decided to settle our lunch here~~ Esquire Kitchen of Taipei 台湾风味馆
Chrysanthemum Pu Er Tea (菊花普饵茶) – RM 7.00 (Refillable)
Braised Pork Rice (卤肉饭) – RM 4.90
This is one of the staple food of Taiwanese & I believe the most popular item in this restaurant cause I saw many customers order it. The pork chunks is a bit bigger compared to the Taiwan version as featured in Taiwan TV program. The braised gravy given also too little but overall it is good 🙂
Stew Pork Sandwich (割包) – RM 4.90
Soft bun with stew pork, pickled veggie, crunched peanuts & coriander filling. Not a new food for me (always appear in Taiwan TV program too) but definitely my 1st time trying it 🙂
It would taste better if the pork is softer~~
Chicken Drumstick Rice (鸡腿饭) – RM 10.90
White rice with a few side dishes such as fried veggie & pickled veggie + a big fried drumstick!!! It might look dry from the outlook but the flesh is tender & succulent.
Verdict: Have a quite extensive menu of Taiwanese snacks, rice & noodle set. Service is prompt & attentive, I don’t mind to come back for more to satisfy my Taiwanese food craving~~

>Oo, these places are near my place. I've been to this restaurant before, didn't know why but I found it rather average.
And the fish head noodles, can't believe I still haven't try it out yet even though quite a few times I passed by without a long queue.
>割包? One pao cut into half, that's why it got the name? Haha…
>Nic : Yu Ai even got a branch in Bkt Tinggi, Klang, if i rmbr correctly.
