Secret Recipe

Pan Grilled Catch of the day with Lobster sauce ($11.50)

Served with french fries, Pan Grilled Catch of the day is prepared withhome-made lobster sauce. Frankly speaking, the main reason i choosethis dish was because the lobster sauce entices me, and also partlybecause i want some fishy-stuff. But this dish really disappointed me,mayb it is not bad, but it didn’t really suit my taste. The lobstersauce was nothing special, the fish was not really good. It was kind ofbland.

Grilled chicken with BBQ sauce ($10.90)

The grilled chicken set is served with herb rice and fresh gardensalad. The chicken is actually like normal western cafe chicken chop,nothing special. For a hawker western food, it might be a tad tooexpensive, but for a cafe style dining, i thought the price was quitereasonable. So it’s just which way you see it, if you find itexpensive, go to hawker centre please.

Choc Fudge ($4.90)

Now, this is where Secret Recipe shines. Desserts, in particular Cakes.The variety of cakes offer are just fantastic. From the must-have likeTiramisu, Black Forest, to their sinfully chocolate section consistingof Choc Chip walnut, Choc Banana, Moist Choc Cake, Choc Mud cake, CocoaMocha, Choc Fudge, Choc Indulgence. Scanning through the long list,each makes me unresistable, wanting to try everyone of them, and ithink i will. Making several trips to Secret Recipe of course : )

Marble Cheese ($4.90)

And thats not it, they still have cheesecakes to show, there’s theclassic cheese, espresso cheese, raspberry cheese, choc cheese, chilledblueberry cheese, chilled strawberry cheese, apple crumble cheese,lemon cheese, caramel cream cheese.

You know the best part of the story is not just their cakes are good,it is also the price is dirt-cheap. At $4.90 a big slice for theirdelighful cakes, i think its the best deal, and mayb the reason torepeatly go back to Secret Recipe. Nowadays many restaurants’ dessertscakes are no doubt very good, but usually they come in a small slice,and the price can easily double of this.

Shining Stars

Lets see, the positive aspect without a doubt will be their dessertssection, with cakes being the king of the crown. Cheap, big slice,sinful-yet-wonderful cakes. What more do you want? N’uff said already,go get them!

Dark Clouds

The waitress told us that they do not serve ice-water. That,immediately took us at least 10 points off the marking list. You mean acafe cannot offer its customer even tap-water? Scanning through thedrinks menu, there is this one thing called “Distilled water”, whatsmore the water is packed by Secret Recipe. No doubt, this is the mainreason why they do not provided ice water. One word of advice to ALLrestaurants and cafes, if you want your diners to eat happily, pleaseprovide FREE ice-water. If your reason not to offer ice water is sothat diners have to pay for the drinks, you are so wrong.

All in all, Secret Recipe is still a nice place to go for its cheap andnice cakes. If only for the cakes, i will make the trip everytime.Total bill is $36.55 for two person. I confirmed, guarantee plus chopwill definitely go back to try out the other cakes, despite the problemabout ice-water. Mayb next time i just go for their cake-set, or ibring along my water bottle.

” Cakes, how can i resist them? “

I personally recommend all chocolate lovers to try Chocolate Indulgence.  Below is the image of the recommended cake.

For just S$4.90 for a slice of this cake, it's actually quite worth, especially if you compare the size of it with other cakes.  It's also much larger than other cheesecakes and brownies offered in Secret Recipe, which makes it more worth it.  It's really really nice, with its different flavours in each layer and everytime i pass by the Secret Recipe restaurant, I would be tempted to get them.  You should also go to the restaurant during tea time, so that you would be able to get a cake set, which consist of a drink and a slice of cake of your choice.  It cost about $5-6, which is worth it, considering that each slide of cake cost about $4.90.
