1. Secret Recipe Menu : Crispy Chicken Fingers With Chilli Glaze (RM12.00)
Secret Recipe’s Crispy Chicken Fingers With Chilli Glaze is a starter dish that features delicious boneless fried chicken strips drizzled with a hot Chili glaze.
The Crispy Chicken Fingers are crispy on the outside and tender inside, which makes it an extremely tasty starter dish to try out. Also, the Chili glaze lends a hint of spiciness at just the right amount, which makes it unique.
Pros
Crispy Chicken Fingers With Chilli Glaze is crispy and tender.
Cons
If you like your food super-hot, this dish may not have enough spiciness for your tastes.
2. Secret Recipe Menu: Noodle In Tom Yum Soup (RM18.00)
The Noodle In Tom Yum Soup at Secret Recipe is an Asian dish that’s well known in Malaysia. It’s a hot and spicy Thai soup.
This menu item comes with shredded chicken, mushroom, lemongrass, lime leaves and chilies. It’s a must-try menu item if you ever visit Secret Recipe.
Pros
The blend of lemongrass, lime leaves and chilies is wonderful.
Cons
Unlike Secret Recipe’s Chilli Glaze, you’ll find that this dish is a bit of a scorcher if you can’t handle spicy foods.
3. Secret Recipe Menu: Irish Lamb Shank (RM44.00)
The Irish Lamb Shank is one of Secret Recipe’s relatively pricier—but nonetheless delicious—menu items. It’s a delectable, tender lamb shank.
Secret Recipe chefs in Malaysia slow cook the lamb shank with seasonal fresh vegetables and fresh herbs. The dish is served with a baked mashed potato that complements this menu item perfectly.
Pros
The Secret Recipe Irish Lamb Shank will leave you wanting more.
Cons
Lamb contains a lot of fat, so watch it if you’re on a diet!
4. Secret Recipe Menu: Kid’s Chicken Burger (RM16.00)
Let’s not forget the kid’s menu items. Secret Recipe’s Kid’s Chicken Burger will put a smile on your little ones’ faces as they fill their bellies. It’s one of three kids’ menu items.
The dish features four mini chicken burgers. They’re garnished with sliced cucumber (way to sneak in the veggies). Of course, what burger dish is complete without a side of fries?
Pros
Special Recipe’s Kid’s Chicken Burger comes with fries, so it’s an easy choice for kids.
Cons
Once your kids try Special Recipe, don’t be surprised if you get coaxed into stopping in for a bite to eat every time you pass one of their restaurants with your kids (which may not necessarily be bad).
5. Secret Recipe Menu: The Red Velvet (Slice - RM11.80/ Whole RM130.00
No review of Secret Recipe is complete without having a look at the restaurant’s renowned cakes. Secret Recipe’s The Red Velvet is a decadent slice of enticing cake. Like the many variants of this popular treat, the cake is immediately identifiable by its famed vibrant red hue.
The chefs at Secret Recipe somehow create this color naturally (I guess it’s a secret how they do it). In the end, it’s a clever twist on a layered, velvety cream cheesecake.
Pros
The Red Velvet Cake is a staple of Secret Recipe’s menu and definitely worth trying.
Cons
It can prove hard not to give in to this decadent treat.
