El Cerdo

El Cerdo, nose to tail eating at Werner's Audrey's Place =P


Went to El Cerdo at Changkat Bukit Bintang to celebrate Piggy Audrey's belated birthday with Jaime and Jeanette. The place is really nice with lots of pig decors. They even had little stools for us girls to put our handbags, which was really considerate =) The overall experience was really good except for the fact that the waiters/waitresses were a tad bit too attentive.


We took AGES to make up our mind on what to eat so the waiter suggested we ordered some drinks first *LOL* I ordered the Cooler Sunset Dream (right), a kind of cold tea that tasted really nice =) The one on the left is the orange juice that Jeanette got.


Complimentary bread with bacon bits and mushroom soup with even more bacon bits are served after you order your meal. The soup comes in a cup, so the portion is small. They also give you a teaspoon instead of a soup spoon for the soup which I don't really fancy because it's a bit too small.


We took on the waiter's suggestion and ordered this plate of homemade mini sausages with sauerkraut. All four sausages were different. There was this one that I particularly like, but I can't remember which one it was. Their sauerkraut is not very strong in taste, so I think most Malaysians can accept it, though I'd have prefer the taste to be a bit stronger.


We also ordered the crispy pork knuckle that comes with a salad, potato dumpling and sauerkraut. The pork knuckle was HUGE and was quite nice. Trying to get to all the "knuckly parts" was really challenging though *haha* There was the beer sauce and the apple sauce to go with the pork knuckle. For me, I think it goes better with the apple sauce. As for the potato dumpling, I don't really like the texture, and the taste was a bit bland.


Since we once again took AGES to decide on our dessert, the waiters decided to take out the cake that we brought. They put it on this tray sprinkled with powder sugar along with a pig figurine for the birthday girl and played "Happy Birthday" on the speakers with piggy oinks sound effects =P We were also given four mini glass of cocktail which tasted quite nice.


After A VERY LONG WHILE, we decided on the flourless chocolate cake with yogurt mousse and mixed nuts for dessert. I totally loved the yogurt mousse and mixed nuts! But the chocolate cake was a bit too sweet and rich for my liking, it gets jelak after a while.

All four of us shared the food and the bill came to be about RM50+ per person. I actually consider it to be rather pricey because I wasn't very full *hehe* Definitely not a place that can be visited often, but it's a nice place for special occasions =) If I ever go back, I'm going to get their roasted pork! Their plate smashing ritual looks so fun! XD
