El Cerdo -- Celebration on 10th, Sept, 2011

Yeah! Finally finished doing my english essay.. hahaha.. :) And just wanna share and recommend to all of you a nice restaurant which was located at Jalan Changkat, Bukit Bintang -- El Cerdo which means " Pork " in Spanish..

El Cerdo restaurant with their tagline " nose to tail eating ".. 

Click on their homepage and take a look (it 's a cute page) : El Cerdo 

It 's was recommended by my bro and since we planned to celebrate my mom 's birthday which was fall on 12th, Sept, and yet we stil haven decided whr to go.. Therefore, we decided to take this opportunity to  make an attempt for Spanish dishes.. We reached about 7:05pm and I found that the whole street just look alike with Hong Kong, Lan Guai Fong 兰桂坊, if u know what I mean, and I think this is the only restaurant along the street and others than that is all bars, pubs and club.. hahaha.. Lastly, my bro and his girl friend, Hui Nien which was also her birthday on that day.. came and they start to order some food..

We start our meal with complementary bread and pig liver pate.. It 's nice for me but some ppl maybe can 't accept the smell of the pate.. :)

Next, the Appetizer was served.. Woohoo.. --> Cold ham with rock melon.. 

At first I saw this meal, thinking " urghh " uncooked = raw meat, but after I tried it 's quite nice and you can try to eat this with the complementary bread, and it 's like marinated ham, so considered half-cooked lah.. hahahha.. :)

The second dishes is sausages platter, there are four types of sausages, some wrapped in grilled bacon, and I like the mashed potato alot.. :) Yummy.. 

Mashed Potato.. Nice! ^^

After that, is my favorite dishes among all dishes.. --> Pork Rib -- Oven roasted Iberico spare ribs..

The ribs was so juicy  + tender texture.. Oh my smurf.. You should try this if u go to this restaurant.. :) And they serve you a bowl of warm water with a quarter of lemon for each customer that order ribs, to make you easier to eat, wash your hand before you eat and after you eat.. Lemon can remove oil from your hand easily.. :) 

Next come the Marinated Pork Shoulder, it 's was delectable and you should also try the fried onion which put on top of the dish.. :) 

Pasta --> Pork Ragout A La Provencale.. Taste normal only.. hahhaha.. 

The main character came out --> Suckling Pig.. :) 

Actually the Spanish have their own ritual before eat this suckling pig, I found it was quite interesting.. :) 

The servant, Smith taught us the way : First, hold a plate, then knock the wooden plate 3 times.. 

Then, use the plate to cut the pig head, body and tail.. ( To prove that the pig is crispy enough.. )

Next, make a wish.. :) 

Then, throw the plate into a wooden barrel that prepared by them.. I wondering how many plates were thrown and smash everyday.. lol.. :) 

After the ritual, the servant take the suckling pig back to kitchen and serve again after cutting the pork.. 

The Spanish believe that this ritual will bring good luck to ppl.. :) 

A family photo taken by servant thr.. :) 

 Daddy and Birthday Girl, Mommy.. hahhaha.. :) 

Then, come with surprise that arranged by my bro for my mom and his girl friend..  

All the servant sang the birthday song together, in special edition.. 

♫  Happy Birthday to you, *oink oink*, Happy Birthday to you *oink oink*, Happy Birthday to you *oink oink*.. ♫   hahahha.. funny right ? :)  

Strawberry.. :) 

Two wooden piggy were given by El Cerdo to two birthday girls.. :) so cute.. :) 

 Lastly, we went back home and was quite a traffic jam thr because on that day have some celebration.. As a conclusion, the food and service thr were just perfect and I would giv them 8.5/10 marks.. :) It 's nice to have your meal there.. Enjoy.. :)
