El Cerdo @ Changkat Bukit Bintang

The Spanish Countryside Ambiance

Read and saw pictures of this nice porky place very often in facebook or mentioned in blogs. So one fine day, we decided to celebrate a good friend's birthday here in El Cerdo. Known as "The Pig", well of course their signatures would be pork ;) Located at the happening spot of Kuala Lumpur, you can choose to park in front of the restaurant where you will be charged RM5 or park behind the row for free and just walk there - a little exercise is always healthy :)

Once we sat down, they offered us a low bench to actually place our handbags. Nice touch of service. After we ordered everything, we were served a complimentary small cup of vegetable soup which tasted pretty good :)

We ordered the Slow Cooked Tender Ribs RM65 which was good. The ribs were long and juicy and enough to feed two small eaters. Meat was well marinated. It comes with three different sauces, BBQ sauce, Jalapeno Chilli Mayonnaise and Mexican Salsa. Very tasty albeit on the pricy side.

Mash Potatoes as a Side

The Baked Macaroni (RM28) was just ok.Was a little on the sour side in my opinion but my friend really liked it :)

We also ordered some fancy name dr(inks like Love at First Try (RM18) and Romance d'étranger (RM18). The Rose Berry Sangria RM25 is really good. The infusion of citrus fruit with good quality rose wine is good.

Refreshing Sherbet from Wild Raspberry with Grappa (RM22.50) was good albeit on the sour side.

They don't serve sky juice and the mineral water is a total rip off! RM5.50 for a 500ml common bottle of mineral water available in supermarkets for maybe at the most RM2! If you have like about 4-6 people, order the roasted suckling pig. It is special because you will need to cut the pig with a plate and then break the plate in the bucket. Supposed to signify love and luck ;)

There is a government tax of 5% and service charge of 10%.
