El Cerdo, the first European restaurant specialising in pork recipes to open in Kuala Lumpur, is a must-visit destination for many reasons. One of them is the fact that diners get to smash a literal plate into a wooden bucket for good luck, before digging into signature dishes such as the marinated pork shoulder steak, the soft bone BBQ, and roasted ibérico ribs. Another good reason to visit is their all-you-can-eat Sunday brunch buffet, which includes an extensive wine menu.

If you’re getting bored of plain-vanilla restaurant concepts and are up for a bit of adventure, you’ll love this place, where diners (as the name suggests) get to savour a meal in absolute darkness. It can be unnerving for those with nyctophobia, not knowing what’s in front of you (or behind you), but it will certainly heighten your sense of taste, and make for an unforgettable experience.
