Where best to spend Chinese New Year than surrounded by friends and family, and sitting down in front of a delicious meal? But where to eat is another question. Fortunately, The Mines shopping mall in Seri Kembangan has a number of dining options for a prosperous CNY celebration:
1. Esquire Kitchen
Esquire Kitchen has specially prepared a CNY menu for all to enjoy. It contains a dish called ‘Ong Lai’, which means ‘Luck comes’; a positive and welcoming phrase for the Lunar New Year.

There are two choices from the Prosperous New Year Menu, suitable for groups: RM268++ (all 6 dishes) and RM168++ (4 selected dishes). The meal contains Fortune Pork Ribs, Ong Lai Fish, Happy Honey Prawns, Good Health Herbal Chicken, Prosperity Vegetarian Abalone with Mushroom and Harmony Vegetables.
