We were walking past Secret Recipe and noticed they had a poster up about their rm10 set lunch, apparently meant to bring a smile to those whose wallets are still reeling from the ridiculous price of eating out these days.

So we thought we’d step inside since our tummies were growling and the poster was beckoning to us.

There are 3 choices of set lunch each with a different style of chicken, rice and salad and an ice lemon tea. The girls and I had the Mushroom Chicken…

… while my son had the Black Pepper Chicken. Between the two, I should’ve chosen this instead of the Mushroom Chicken. At least it had a slightly spicy kick to it instead of gooey blandness.

To wash it all down, the kids went to pick out a couple of cakes. We only ordered two slices since I’m quite adverse to eating cake that’s 70% cream. I prefer cakes with more cake and way, way less cream. The very creamy Chocolate Fudge Cake…

… and Chocolate Strawberry Cake!

Now I’ve never seen cakes served lying down on their side before. Maybe this is a new presentation style, I don’t know, but I almost needed a compass to get my bearings on which is the top of the cake and which is the bottom.

Call me fussy but it does matter to me being able to distinguish the top of the cake from the bottom. So yes, I want my slice of cake served upright so I can get a visual taste of it first before my taste buds do. What do you think?
