Since we'd spent a night within the Seafest Square mall (specifically at the Seafest Hotel Lepa Wing) I thought that it would be good idea to also bring home a box of Hokkaido Cheese Tart as I've read somewhere that they'd opened a branch of sorts within the same building. But after walking around the mostly vacant 'mall', we found out that it was not exactly a branch; more like a corner within the (also) newly opened Secret Recipe restaurant (they're on the ground floor, right next to the Pizzahut and in front of a KFC branch). I guess the boss intended to kill two birds with one stone huh?
Unfortunately, we were told by the SR staff that the cheese tarts were only available on Sundays (yes, one day only) as fresh deliveries were made once per week and came directly from KK. Well, now that sounds more like a pop up corner rather than an actual place selling the tarts isn't it? I mean, just imagine people from neighbouring districts driving all the way to Semporna just for those tarts and ends up disappointed. And I don't know whether it will continue on like that (let's hope not) but they really should think things through before opening a 'branch' if they could not provide the goods daily (and yes, despite what they'd posted on their official FB page - I did check).
Nevertheless since we were already there (and hungry), me and my partner decided to just eat at the SR branch instead for lunch. Food wise, everything were pretty much 'standard SR tastes' as we'd ordered a Spaghetti Meatball Chicken and Napoli Bianco Pizza (sorry that I totally missed out on taking a picture of the latter as I was busy with my food at said time - me prioritising my stomach over anything else is what I do best 😅) with a side of an Absolute Chocolate cake. But I do think that the decor of the place beats the one in Tawau though since it looks more elegant and cosy to me.
