If you’re a lover of the porcine treasure trove of culinary delight, then you already know about these 5 restaurants, but let me give you an excuse to pay them another visit.
I had never decreed anything as a gift from the heavens until I pulled the meat off of a properly smoked pork rib before letting it dissolve into my taste buds. It was so sinfully good, that from that moment on I became sure that man only discovered fire because they wanted to cook their first pig.
If, like me, you’re a lover of the porcine treasure trove of culinary delight, then you probably already know about these 5 restaurants, but let me give you an excuse to pay them another visit. And if you haven’t, here are 5 restaurants serving up pork dishes so sinfully delicious, you'd be damned not to try them.
El Cerdo
Literally named after the humble pig, El Cerdo at Changkat Bukit Bintang shows respect to its star ingredient by wasting nothing with a nose-to-tail policy. The king of pork is present here in the form of the roasted Iberico spare ribs along with roasted suckling pig and pork paella. Check out their official website.
ANTE Kitchen & Bar
ANTE, at Solaris Dutamas, knows how to use the best parts of the pig and coax out their delicious natural flavour. Chargrilled pork steaks and in-house Hickory smoked bacon are just two of their porky signatures. Visit their official Facebook page to see more.
Mercat Barcelona Gastrobar
Spain loves its pork, especially as you travel down south and across to Barcelona. Mercat Barcelona Gastrobar, on Jalan Telawi features the best of Catalonian cuisine with two Catalonians at the helm, serving up dishes like Spanish suckling pig terrine and Iberico ham tartar.

Betty’s Midwest Kitchen
The first time I stepped into Betty’s Midwest Kitchen, in Aman Suria, I took a deep breath and was reminded of the scents of an American diner. Cooking up wonderful diner inspired dishes, you have to try the classic pork meatloaf and the succulent grilled beer braised Boston butt. Check out their official website.
Di Wei Chinese Cuisine
Let’s not believe only Europeans and Americans can do the pig justice; Asian cuisine pulls no punches either. At Di Wei Chinese Cuisine in Empire Hotel, char siu (barbecued pork) and siu yuk (roasted pork) are made with plenty of craft to melt in your mouth.
