Secret Recipe - Lasagna & Pie

Secret Recipe - Lasagna & Pies. - definitely a house hold name. Well known for it's lasagna, lamb stew, and western as well as oriental and Malaysian cuisines.

I had previously blogged about their cakes and drinks, which you can read by clicking here; Secret Recipe - Cakes & Drinks. Undeniably the cakes are good. But there are a lot of other good food as well, including some dishes that are not known by many.

So here we are, at Secret Recipe Bayan Baru, nearby Sunshine, same row as Young Ones and KFC.

Pasta Menu

Looking at the pasta menu, we decide to get the Beef Lasagna. This is one of my favourites. It is served with a bun / bread.

Beef Lasagna

Somehow this time it wasn't up to par. Usually the Beef Lasagna is REAL GOOD. This time though it seems not well cooked, e.g. the lasagna layer itself was either too thick or not cooked that well. Another option for Lasagna would be Domino's Lasagna. Somehow even Domino's Lasagna's quality is inconsistent. For valid reason I'd say. Cooking Lasagna and getting the lasagna, cheese and beef to be in a consistent manner is a challenge. Not that I've cooked one before!

The next item we ordered is what I'd say is worth a try and something 'different'. Pies. There are a number of options available, from the Shepherd's Pie, Gourmet Pie and Black Pepper Lamb Pie. The Shepherd Pie seems tempting and is usually good! Here's how Wikipedia defines the Shepherd's Pie; "Cottage pie, also known as shepherd's pie, refers to an English meat pie with a crust made from mashed potato and beef."

Pies and more pies

We decide to try the Black Pepper Lamb Pie. Usually you will have to wait as they will make it fresh. Try enquiring when you're there which pies are made fresh and which are re-heated.

Black Pepper Lam Pie - how it was served

Above is the Black Pepper Lamb Pie. Looks inviting doesn't it. Pepper is sprinkled on the pie. And the filling? Look below...

The filling is soft moist lamb and its 'gravy'. Really nice and tasty. Best served and eaten hot. To put the picture in perspective, imagine a lamb sizzling gravy curry puff.

Here's the Irish Lamb Stew. Or at least here's the Irish Lamb Stew after I've dug in...

Lamb Stew

The meat is real tender and soft. Probably would have been better if the side dish is not flooded by the stew / gravy. A real nice dish for Lamb Lovers.

And for drinks. Well take your pick below.

Drinks

You know, if you want something warm and nice, ask them to make you the Hot Lemon Tea. Its served in a nice soup-like-bowl. Nice.

Anyway, we had the Oreo shake. Again some difference in quality. The best one I've tasted was once in Gurney, Belissa Row. Overall the Oreo shake was nice.

Enjoy.

p.s.-If you're looking for something spicy, the Tomyam Kung is a definite try!
