Too early for Valentine?
Confirmed "Blur" ...
Confirmed "Blur" ...
Like Mother, Like Kids... the three of us, Aaron, Fernie and I were confirmed "Blurred"...
What happened was ... after fetching Fernie from school, I suggested to go Secret Recipe for our lunch. Hearing no objections from them kids, we proceeded to Ipoh Garden. Settling down in our seats, we began to browse through the menu and catching my eye was the one above...
After ordering the special meal for two, (I was still full from my late 11am brunch), I read through the menu again and then only I realized, "Hey, that meal was for Valentine!!" My kids were also kind of "Huh? Really?"
Gosh... Valentine's meals are always expensive and not worth the price, correct? Couples' meal ma.... and all the while, I thought it was the promotion for today!!! aiyoh!

True enough.... the meal did not meet up with our expectation.....
first came the starter..
5 crispy Oily Fried Wanton...
(there goes my new year resolution ler..)
force-fully I walloped two..
then came the baked fish...
few stalks of old asparagus..
definitely older than me.. cos cannot be bitten!
When this dish came, I put up White Flag...
Reminded me of that pepper chicken I took in Station One
I passed this one to Aaron...
It was Aussie beef stew, not for me....
from the meal, I could only enjoy this!!
chocolate lava with ice cream... hmmm..
this was the best of all..
so guys, if you want a sweet valentine
just order this will do... hahhaa....
As the saying goes..
if your love ones are happy, it is all that counts!
Does the set come with drinks as well? The food at Secret Recipe are always expensive, Valentine's or not.. I only go there for their cakes. :)
ReplyDeleteOh Claire... Of the three outlets in Ipoh, the worst is the Ipoh Garden's. Many would rather queue for their turn at the Kinta City's outlet because its quality is so much better than the rest.
