Flying Solo

Yesterday about 8.40pm, I was clueless on where to eat and decided to hunt for food further than status quo. About then I texted Lionel whether would he mind to tag along because I was bored to eat alone. I always am.

Then in the end, he replied to my message at 9.11pm saying he was in KL. So then I ventured to Era Walk alone and I found a good place: La Esquina. I am so gonna bring Dad here when he comes back next year, if I am still around. The setting is of a romantic Spanish style with dim lightings and soothing songs (but that was a little bit too loud) and some Christmas carols.

I ordered grilled fish and a glass of white wine, since I wanted to try on whites, as I never had. The waiter suggested me to complement that with a fish dish, choice of grill or fried. The wine was very nice. Mellow and sweet. I even guessed the production year correctly by the colour and taste when I asked to take a look at the bottle.

I also ordered sky juice which apparently to be free (I was very shocked about this!) to clear my mouth on every sip of wine I take. "That's the correct way to drink wine," Dad told me last month when I dined with him.

At long last, my fish had come out from the kitchen and I was a little disappointed that the fish was a little hard. It didn't smell and taste like it was grilled at all. I guessed it was baked instead, as the water content in the fish is nearly zero. However, the vegetables, lemon juice and cream saved the fish from my complaints. I sat there for about 2 hours, enjoying wine, music, fish and football there alone. It was only RM43.70 with the tax and charge.

"Once in a while, is fine but not every while," that's my motto for food hunting.

Tomorrow: Kensington in Era Square. Dinner with Granny. Dad's order. =]
