El Cerdo - nose to tail eating

We were walking along Changkat Bukit Bintang in KL looking for a nice restaurant for dinner and found ourselves at a Spanish restaurant, El Cerdo, not knowing how famous this place is until I Googled about the it after our dinner.

El Cerdo means "The Pig" in Spanish thus the name of this restaurant which is famous for its pork dishes from around the world. The restaurant serves all things pork and a host of other interesting tapas and dishes e.g. paella, pasta etc.

We ordered some tapas and a paella to share. The waiter recommended their famous roast suckling pig but we didn't try because we felt it was a bit too heavy for just the two of us. However we saw a lot of people ordering this house special and read a lot of rave reviews about it so we are definitely going to try the infamous roast pork next time.

Prawns with Olive Oil Garlic and Chili (RM18)

Jamon Serrano - Thin slices of mountain air dried ham (RM18)

Loved the prawns but not the ham because they were too "raw" for me. Hubs loved both tapas nevertheless.

Rose Raspberry Sangria (RM25)

I loved the decor. It felt like you are transported to a small European town in a sidewalk restaurant. :)

Paella Traditional with Seafood, Chicken, Chorizo Sausage and Pork (RM88)

I loved the paella to bits. Even to this day I still pine over the paella. The paella took longer to cook (about 25 minutes) but it was well worth the wait. The flavours or the seafood, chicken and pork were so fully infused in the paella.

Churros Con Chocolate

Churros is the Spanish equivalent of the Chinese crueller or 'yau tiao'. The churros is deep fried
and sprinkled with icing sugar, accompanied by thick and rich hot chocolate. Simply decadent.

We were presented with a complimentary after dinner drink to aid digestion.

Ole Cafe, Tune Hotel LCCT

Ole Cafe is one of the food outlets at Tune Hotel LCCT.

I ordered Tuna Melt and the Ole Special Teh Tarik. The total bill came to about RM18.

The Tuna Melt came with tuna and mayonaisse, lettuce, tomato and cheese. It is served hot and good for a quick grub.

Unfortunately I couldn't find anything special about the Ole Special Teh Tarik. I ordered the iced version so it was too diluted from all the ice.

The good thing is they are open 24 hours so it was convenient for the Tune Hotel guests. The next nearest food outlets are at LCCT which is a 7 to 10 minute walk away (apart from Passage Thru Asia which is located inside the Tune Hotel)
