A night With El Cerdo, A night to remember....
*To all my Muslim friends, I'm sorry but today's menu is non-halal, it's full of khinzir....*
To my Spanish speaking friends out there, sorry about the 'title', it wasn't anything kinky, I didn't spend a night with the pig [El Cerdo, which means “the pig” in Spanish]. hehe......
We drove all the way to the city to tryout El Cerdo -a warm and cosy Spanish restaurant because we've heard too many great reviews of this place. Besides the great pig-o-delicious dishes which I'm about to share with you, I would like to give two thumbs up, and toes too to their waiter and waitresses who's always there to help you to decide what to eat. The ambiance was romantically..............priceless!
The German waiter was assisting us in making our decisions and we're glad we obeyed ;). Actually, we did not even read the menu because we just couldn't decide, everything sounds delicious! Well, of course we reminded him we don't really fancy the E,N,T [Ears, Nose & Tail] or any waste or reproductive system of a pig!
Here goes...
