KL's new Esca is a culinary playground where rules are rewritten


Chong’s prawn toast is an easy, addictive meal opener that turns tradition on its head. - ESCA

Ensconced along Kuala Lumpur’s increasingly gentrified Petaling Street is the brand new Esca KL. The eatery is perched in a century-old shoplot and is neither too casual nor too fancy, sitting prettily in that sweet spot where comfort and luxury intersperse.

The new opening is the brainchild of chef-owner Chong Yu Cheng who also helms Terra Dining, a Michelin Selected casual fine-dining restaurant he opened in 2023.
