Pizza prices also set a record high in nearly 15 years with a near-12 percent increase in April.
Chicken prices increased by 6.8 percent in the given period, which is lower than the 11.4 percent increase seen in August of the previous year.
The overall cost of dining out continued to increase although the consumer price inflation rate settled down at 3 percent.
