*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…
La sopa…
[The soup]
Cream of Potato and Bacon. [with compliments from El Cerdo]
L’abeille says “Wow wee…just a sip brings me to 7th heaven*
El aperitivo
[The Appetizers]
Iberico de Jabugo The Spanish Platter
(Cana de Lomo Cebo, Jamon, Morcilla de Ano, Chorizo Extra, Salachichon Extra)
Served with sweet Chili, Olives and Goat Cheese
L’abeille says: “Please, my dear Spanish friends, please tell me Morcilla is NOT pig’s blood! Errk…..”
Kasler
[Smoked Kasler Ham with freshly made pasta and topper up with creamy fungi sauce]
L’abeille says: “Yummy! by the time the 3rd dish arrives at our table, guess I was already on cloud nine and I completely lost my sense of judgment…the pasta was so smooth, I thought it was cheese” *hehehhe*
The Mains
Marinated Pork Shoulder Steak
[Marinated for 48 hours with the Finest Paprika, Herbs, Onions, Garlic and Mild Dijon Mustard]
L’abeille: “Don’t ever leave this place without trying out this main course”
Paella Valenciana
[Spanish National Rice Dish With Seafood & Chicken & Chorizo Sausage & Pork]
L’abeille: “4 large prawns and plenty of medium sized ones.. it’s so fresh crunchy..It was Truly LOVE AT FIRST BITE”
As for Digestive or “After meal drink”
ELCERDO SPECIAL 22% alcohol
[A delectable Digestive consists of `Spirit, Wine and Juices’ with compliments from Elcerdo too!]
L’abeille says: “Hic..hic..!”
As for dessert..
It’s the same old mistake I did over and over again at a restaurant.. “I didn’t leave any room for dessert, I was supposed to try out the WINE JELLY….” grrrr…
So, L’abeille filled up the lucky draw form to be submitted to the Piggy Club President and went home a happy oinker!
X-T: Dearie, did you enjoy your dinner tonight?
L’abeille: Oink..oink..
As per Hor ny’s request..
Here’s the damage..

She will force request you to drive to other people’s rubber estate.
Risking yourself from being chased by the owner’s guard dog!
You’re required to gobble down a litre of mineral water in 30 seconds because she needs an empty bottle. Next, you’re required to walk down the car and hunt for……………..
THESE!
SO THAT SHE CAN ENJOY WATCHING THEM DOING THESE….
An ANT FARM?????!!!!!
L’abeille says…..To my English speaking readers, “sot-sot” in Cantonese means..”Crazy” Blurk!

My poor old grand dad is very old and he’s living in a small town called Ipoh together with my grandmother. His legs were no longer as strong as he used to be making it very inconvenient for him to even walk his way to the toilet to ease himself. He needs adult diapers. Although my beloved grandmother is taking care of him, she doesn’t know how to drive a car. It will be very inconvenient for her to take a cab down town get supplies from town. Thank God I found DME Medical Supplies because they deliver medical supplies such as adult diapers right their the doorstep.

Everybody knows L’abeille is my name and it means “The Bee” in French. I’ve been using this name on the cookie jars and cup cake boxes you bought from me all these years. Beginning of next year, I will be giving out personalized pens with my name on it as a token of appreciation to all my customers who purchase cookies and cakes from me. I believe it’s a very practical gift and a great way to promote my small little business.

I am a boring person. When it comes to buying presents for a man, I can only think of a few common items. Say for example, a Christmas present for my dad and grandfather would usually be a pen, a belt, a wallet or a t-shirt. Throughout these years, I’ve been buying them these few items and I guess by now, they would’ve already guessed what’s the content in the box even before opening it.
Last week, as we were supposed to meet up for a family dinner, both of them were LATE. That incident gave me an idea to buy both of them Luminox watches for Christmas this year! I hope with the new watch, they will be more punctual on our next get together. Hehe
