After eating pies at "
A Pie Thing", I plan to try the pies at other eateries so when my work lunch gang wanted to eat at Secret Recipe, I was thinking ok, a pie then but there were no pies available that day so I went for the closest food to a pie and that is a cornish pasty. There were two types of Chicken Cornish Pasty - spicy and non-spicy and I selected the non-spicy one.
Chicken Cornish Pasty - Non Spicy - MYR8.80++ (total MYR10.20).
Cross Section
Shredded chicken meat instead of cubes and there is a hint of curry taste despite it being the non-spicy version. A very filling meal.

I've tried this. Nice though I'm not quite fond of the pulled meat filling. I would prefer minced or bits and pieces like in some steamed paos.
ReplyDeleteMy filling seems different:

I was expecting the chicken meat to be in cubes so I was surprised and I also preferred the chicken meat to be in cubes.
DeleteI read your post. Yes, the fillings are the same. It is just that the fillings in mine were compacted. There were bits of celery and carrots in it like the one you had.
DeleteWhen I see the title, I straightaway think of SR already.. I will also order the original chicken cornish each time if I go eat there.. I love the buttery pastry.. Nice..
ReplyDeleteAgreed that the crust is buttery. :)
Deleteah, Secret Recipe!! and yes, I have tried their Chicken Cornish Pie, like you I also chose the non-spicy ones too.. not bad at all actually, it was way cheaper last time and I used to order a pie and a brownie, that add up to about the same price of the usual plates, but I've got two things to eat!! haha.. that's how I make myself happy~~ :D
ReplyDeleteTrue, good food makes people happy! :)
Deletemost of the time I'd order the meatball spaghetti but ever since they started to have lunch promo, I go for their lunch set, which usually offers other less interesting dishes, anyway, things are getting more expensive hence most of the time I still eat from the economical point of view, since I just need to fill up my stomach.. I'm not a person who live to eat, haha~~
ReplyDeleteI try not to eat lunch here as much as I can but if I need to, I will order the lunch promo too due to the price.
DeleteLong time didnt dine in Secret Recipe. Used to love its lamb and cakes.
ReplyDeleteI have not eaten their award winning lamb dish before.
DeleteI don't think I have dined in Secret Recipe before. Usually go there is to buy the big ass cheese cake or tiramisu cake for birthdays. Is their dine in meals nice?
ReplyDeleteShould be considered ok only.
DeleteOh i have not tried their pie before. Love their cakes.
ReplyDeleteI have also not tried their pies.
DeleteThe very first time I took Cornish pie, it cost only RM5.. and now as time goes by.. it is almost double.. :p I like that pie too but half of it will do for me, I keep the other half space for the cakes! :)
ReplyDeleteFood prices have increased a lot. Yes I feel that eating the whole cornish at one go is very filling too.
Deletelong time I never dine in Secret Recipe...I guess the price has increase a lot...I remembered I had a hot chocolate drink and a piece of cheese cake (many years ago)...and the total bill was around RM11 back then...
ReplyDeleteEverywhere the food prices have increased a lot now. *Sigh*
DeleteHey Mun, that's a very interesting pie! Would love to try! Yum......
ReplyDeleteI guess there would be many eateries or bakeries selling cornishs in Singapore, right?
DeleteI used to enjoy dining meals or eat cakes with coffee there before many other cafes started to overtake with better choices. I was just supporting the Sim family members who run the business after winning the Cheesecake competition. Recent years, they had to rebrand the whole name and concept to keep up with others.
ReplyDeleteThey are your friends?
DeleteAh yes this is one of my fav things to eat at Secret Recipe (actually... I've fallen out of love with most of the things there). I prefer it to the spicy version which tastes like curry puff.
ReplyDeleteI thought I also detect a slight curry taste in this original one too. You mean the spicy version is really, really spicy not just a slight curry taste?
DeleteNah, spicy version just tastes like normal curry puff. Not really spicy. Not worth it coz can buy lotsa curry puffs for the price of one cornish.
DeleteBut the cornish pastry is different from curry puffs because it is baked and not deep fried so not so oily.
