Pizza San Francisco @ The Mines Shopping Fair

This lunch was a special lunch in two ways. First, I was introduced to a calzone by Ray and second, it was my last lunch with him.

He asked if I have ever tried it and when I shook my head, he decided that I should give it a try. "A calzone is like a pizza, but like a folded up version," he explained. "I've had it a few times with my brother. It's not too bad. Eat it with the sauce, it's nice."

So, I later found out that a calzone is a folded pizza typically stuffed with tomato, mozzarella and sauce and may include other ingredients that are normally associated with pizza toppings. Here at Pizza San Francisco, the calzone is stuffed with mozzarella and turkey salami.

If you are a small eater like me, ordering one of these will see you packing half of it to bring home. I was stuff by the time I finished the second piece. To share with one or two other persons would be best.

Esquire Kitchen The Mines Shopping Fair

My trip back to KL is never complete without a visit to Esquire Kitchen. This is almost always the first place Mum and Dad suggest for family dinner. They boast Szechuan and Shanghainese flavours, home-cooked style. My all time favourite and must have each time I come here is the Szechuan Eggplant (RM15.00). The combination of vinegar and fish sauce, the wok hei and texture of the eggplant, orgasmic. I could have just this with plain rice and be very happy.

And honestly, I do not know what this next dish is called because every time I order it, I just point to it and go, "This one." Haha, but it is awesome, too!

My brother likes the Marmite Ribs. Crunchy and juicy. Consider this if you do not want to order their famous Tong Po Pork.

Service is quick and the place is inviting though the air-conditioning could get quite cold.
