Thoughts: Secret Recipe is generally known for its cakes since 1997, not just cakes but fine quality premium cakes of a higher price even when it started way back 20 years ago. At that time, generally most neighbouring cake shops are selling cake slices at $2++ but Secret Recipe's cake sare already around $5++ at that time. Now of course, a slice of Secret Recipe cake is around $10++. 
It is however, one of the longerst running cake shop at Taipan. The other one is Berry at USJ 10/1E. But nowadyas, even neighbourhood cake shops like Berry are also selling cake slices at prices of $6 or $7 above. 
One of the recipes I enjoyed was the Original Chicken Cornish where the crust used to be thinner and crispier. Somehow, today's version was thick and kind of soggy despite I asked them to reheat in the microwave/oven. The Secret Recipe's Cornish is stuffed with "pulled chicken" (like cheese LOL) and not cubes which can be found maybe in our local Curry Puffs! 
For the price of one Secret Recipe's Cornish, one can buy maybe 5-6 small curry puffs! Elsewhere in SS2, there are also Large size Curry Puffs (with boild egg inside) which are also much cheaper (maybe $2.50 or $3 per piece); haven't tried those for awhile. 
Still, Secret Recipe still is one of the larger Cafe Chain (if not the largest) Halal-Certified restaurant by JAKIM in Malaysia. Interestly, it has over 400 locations around Asia including Australia, Singapore, China, Indo-China, and Thailand. 
Opening Hours: 11:00am - 11:00pm
