Secret Recipe Bandar Baru Ampang — Restaurant in Ampang Jaya Municipal Council

Food and dessert are delicious. Food came on time and well presented. Hot milk tea using 3 in 1 packet tea. Since you are using 3 in I packet tea I would like to recommend instant teh tarik from Teh Boh brand. Teh boh brand have the best taste of teh tarik among other brand. Trust me. And please serve hot drink as HOT! Dont serve it warm!

When we came to the restaurant just a few tables occupied. Not crowded but the restaurant is hot like no aircond. I did not say anything as I taught becoz we just came in from outside. But when halfway eating I feel so hot and sweating. I call the waiter to check on the aircondition. The waiter said ok Miss I on the aircond now. What??? So all this while you guys off the aircond for what? They just on 2 ac. The other 2 is off. We are unlucky becoz we seat near to the off ac. Common lah....we paid for the food and service tax all. This is ridiculous. You have a cosy and beautiful cafe after renovated. Please on all the aircond when customers dine in the restaurant. Dont be so stingy ya. Especially we came in lunch time in a hot weather outside. I have to give 3 stars for this...

A good place to dine in with family but today 18 September 2023 I didn't satisfied because of the bad service ..... I made my order with my family around 5.45 pm. All the orders received but one of our orders not received until 44 minutes later (chicken grill with rice). While the couple beside my table who made order after us have received their orders, just look like my order..... when ask the staff, they told us about their slow heating problem with their oven..... after my family dinner nearly done they want to sent my order to me but I changed my mind to take away..... actually when my daughter wants to make the payment for the food and asked about the incident she's been told that my order been written on the paper but not punch in the payment system machine. It's mean the ordering system should be upgrade..... For me this mistake should not happen but its really makes me feel annoying and not good for this...

The Aglio Olio was difficult to enjoy—the tomatoes were not fresh and showed signs of spoilage, which made the dish unpleasant and hard to continue eating.

On a brighter note, the Carbonara with beef slices was rich, creamy, and satisfying, while the mushroom chicken stood out with its tender, fresh meat, although the sauce could have used a deeper, more robust flavor.

The pie, however, was a letdown. Its crust was overly thick and sticky, clinging to the teeth in a way that made it less appetizing.

Overall: The meal was a mix of highs and lows—some dishes were genuinely enjoyable, but others clearly need improvement in terms of freshness and execution. With better attention to ingredient quality and balance, the dining experience could be much...
