Continental Mid-town menu: choose your snack base and dip

Fries does not always mean the same base: Esquites Fries names corn and chickpea with chili-lime mayo, while Szechuan Shoestring Fries are described as thin-cut fries with Chinese mustard. French Onion Soup Dumplings changes the format again, pairing onion-soup flavors with Gruyère. Compare the base and accompaniment before choosing a snack.

Only three snack examples. Saved Seared Tuna has medium/rare doneness disagreement across languages; it remains in the broader menu, excluded here. Full recipes, labels and current availability unconfirmed. English, Chinese and Spanish descriptions.

Soup dumpling, corn-chickpea or shoestring

Onion-soup flavors with cheese, corn-chickpea fries with mayo, or thin-cut fries with mustard.

Gruyère and onion-soup flavors

French Onion Soup Dumplings

The restaurant pairs this named dumpling with Gruyère. The saved description explains bite-sized dumplings with French-onion-soup flavors and melted cheese. That is a snack format, not a promise of a separate bowl of soup or a complete filling recipe.

Corn and chickpea with chili-lime mayo

Esquites Fries

Both the source and saved description name corn-chickpea fries and chili-lime mayonnaise. Compare that named base with shoestring fries rather than assuming these are ordinary potato fries with corn sprinkled on top.

Thin-cut fries with Chinese mustard

Szechuan Shoestring Fries

The source names Chinese mustard; the saved description explains thin-cut, crisp fries. Choose this format and accompaniment without converting Szechuan in the title into a measured chili heat level or a full seasoning recipe.

Choose the base, then keep its accompaniment

The shared snack category does not make the sides or dips identical.

  1. 01

    Decide between dumplings and fries

    Dumplings emphasize soup flavors and cheese; the two fries offer different bases and accompaniments.

  2. 02

    Distinguish the fries

    Corn-chickpea is explicit for Esquites. Shoestring refers to the thin cut described in the saved menu.

  3. 03

    Confirm the dip you want

    Chili-lime mayo and Chinese mustard belong to separate entries. Ask about ingredients or changes rather than assuming interchangeable dips or allergy-safe labels.

Before choosing

Does this guide recommend Seared Tuna?

No. Its saved Chinese description says medium while English and Spanish say rare. The internal doneness disagreement remains in the full saved menu and is excluded here.

Are the snacks a complete meal or a fixed sharing portion?

The source groups them as snacks or share plates across service lists. Neither this comparison nor the saved entries establishes how many diners each serves or that sides are interchangeable.
