Almond Butterscotch Cake

Last week I had lunch with my sister at Secret Recipe. Now I wouldn't normally eat lunch there, but on that particular day hehehe... just felt like it. Our usually haunts didn't appeal to us and we thought  - Secret Recipe, why not?
The last time I went there was last year, and  had a very dry and rather stale brownie. Needless to say  I vowed never to return there again but never say never ...
So we settled down and studied the given menu. To be honest we, when we do go there, only eat cake. But after browsing through the appetizing pics, the food doesn't look too bad. We ordered fish.
Pretty boring huh? But it wasn't.
I had fish and chips, I know pretty ordinary but safe.
My sister had baked fish and mozzarella cheese, I can't remember the exact name, but this pretty much describe the dish.


Fish and Chips

  
Baked Fish with Mozzarella Cheese




Sedaps!! My fish and chips was pipping hot went it arrived at the table. The wedge of lemon was very juicy, there was just enough tartar sauce and the salad was perfectly dressed. Not overly like some places that literally drown the poor vegetables.
My sister punya fish was delicious says she. Once more they were very generous with the portions, the cheese was cheesy! Chunks of deep fried yellow and green zucchini and potatoes accompanied the fish.
 Since mine was part of the lunch deal, it came with iced lemon tea but sister ordered hot lemon tea - ok we were both coughing at that time. It was a sedap kenyang lunch and would I go and there again? Yep, just stay away from the brownies.

Okey enough of that I had an order for a cake, Almond Butterscotch. I was busy that week but I accepted the order anyway, rezeki jangan tolak!!
I had to carefully plan when to bake the cake, as the cake requires time to assemble and set. Happy to say I did well, I have only baked this cake three times so far!! The nervous bit is making the butterscotch, ada sekali tu tak jadi and I didn't want to waste ingredients! Thank God all went well and I hoped Aishah and her family had a good time eating it. The Ben 10 was a bonus as her son loved the cartoon.
I posted the recipe here, if you're interested take a look! It's quite easy.
