First up is the Special Kerabu Burger 
that comes served in either chicken or beef. 
This beauty is layered with Japanese cucumber, 
red onions and coriander leaves atop a bed of 
either crunchy golden fried chicken 
or succulent juicy double beef patties 
and cheddar cheese in between. 
Complete with a generous spread of kantan chilli sauce, 

it offers the perfect balance of sweetness and aromatic taste in every bite.
Meanwhile, 
the Sambal Meletop Burger on the other hand

Served with a side of crispy golden fries, 
these burgers can be washed down 
with two refreshingly thirst-quenching drinks – 
Lychee Pepsi or Wild Mint Pepsi.

two of Secret Recipe’s bestselling sides – 
the Spicy Tomato Drumette or the Classic Drumette
