El Cerdo Mother's Day Dinner

For Mother's Day this year, my son and his girlfriend brought us to El Cerdo

 What greeted us at the entrance to El Cerdo

 Loaves of bread with minced pork spread

 yummy sausages

 succulent, juicy and tender

 rack of spare ribs

 succulent, juicy and tender (eh? like I've used these three words before...same description for these too!!)

 my son

 ritual of breaking plates (silly, because it seems stupid to break perfectly good plates)

 half a suckling pig

 so kesian, the pig!

 chef took it back after the plate breaking ritual and chopped it for us

 son loved it, but I found it fatty, meatless and so kesian (pity the poor baby pig!!!)

 seafood paella

lots of prawns, mussels and clams!!!

 also had squids and fish! so good!!

 wow!!! what a spread!!! bill came to RM400 plus plus

 complimentary drinks on the house: watermelon juice, martini and gin

 entrance of the restaurant situated in busy Ceylon Raod, at Changkat Bukit Bintang

 so bustling and busy at night

 the drive back is an eye-opener: such a throbbing metropolis that is Bukit Bintang

 Bukit Bintang night scenario

 traffic jam too! on a Saturday night!

 passing by Jalan Alor we were awed at the crowds

 so much activity, and so many people up and about

 so many stalls, and all were packed

 staying in KL for more than 20 years, but not one night we exlpore here

 except maybe one night when my nephew and his family from Singapore visited: I accompanied them here

 it was a pleasant drive home: so much to see, so hip and happening

 the ta pau or take away bag

 so ironic, the picture of happy pigs, but their babies are sacrificed and their meat are enjoyed by diners

Happy mother's day!!!

(No, I am not turning vegetarian!!)
