What’s a diet when you can have as much pork, ribs and cheese as you want? At El Cerdo’s Bubblylicious Sunday Brunch, start off with salads and Spanish cold cuts like jamon, chorizo, lomo and salchichón.

For mains, you get a sausage platter, a selection of pasta (seafood spaghetti, pork belly fettuccini and spaetzli with cheese and ham) and, of course, meats to satiate carnivorous cravings – think grilled pork steak, wiener schnitzel, roasted baby back ribs, Sunday pork roast and more. You can also booze up your meal for RM198nett which gets you free-flow Noche y Dia Cava Brut Nature sparkling wine, house red and white wine, and Tiger Draught.

Available every Sunday, 12noon-2.30pm. Adults, RM118nett; children (6-12 years old), RM58nett. With alcohol, RM198nett.

Secondly, and also more importantly, the food is downright delicious – think onion pakora, dhokla (a snack made of chickpea and rice) and baingan bartha (mashed eggplant) alongside a range of chapatti and poori. Cap off your meal with gulab jamun and homemade masala tea.

Available every Sunday, 10am-3pm. RM26.50.

While most banana leaf rice sets allow you to have multiple servings of rice and vegetables, Appu Uncle Curry House takes it one step further by offering everything they’ve cooked up in unlimited amounts: vegetables, fried fish and chicken, mutton, fish and chicken curries – you name it, they’ll dish it out. Considering that a serving of mutton curry would normally cost you RM10, the RM28++ price tag is a bargain for curry lovers. The meal is only available for dinner, however – which is just as well, because you’ll want to waddle back home to sleep after a meal this big.

Daily, 6.45-10pm (last order at 9.30pm). Adults, RM28++; senior citizens (above 60 years old), 15 percent off; children (below 12 years old), 40 percent off; children (below five years old), free.

Although Hotel Stripes KL’s Brasserie 25 restaurant might look posh, the daily tea-time sets, which they call Le Goûter, are actually great value for money.

Among the savoury bites are chicken curry puffs, mini salmon quiches, cheese-filled arancini and toasted cheese sandwiches, while on the sweet side is a selection of chocolate cakes, chocolate mousse, citrus tarts, strawberry tarts, opera cakes, macarons, éclairs and more. However, this RM80 price tag is only available for a limited time (no end date was given when we contacted the restaurant), so it’s best to book your place ASAP.

Daily, 3-6pm. RM80++ for two.
