Terminal Cafe Puchong

Terminal Cafe Puchong

HAVING just opened its doors on the numerically notable day of Dec 12, 2012, just about everything in the 24-hour Terminal Café looked bright and inviting.

Situated at the corner of a row of shoplots along Jalan Puteri 4/1, the café joins a host of other more established eateries around the busy Bandar Puteri Puchong commercial area.

Me and My Hubby was looking for food after send our precious to Columbia Asia Hospital for check up. We bump into this Terminal Cafe and I knew is newly opened not long ago. We drove and park our car and we went for our lunch.

The food was not bad if given 10 score I would give  7.5 score.

The portion was not big and is great that we can order different food and tried out the taste.

Besides offering a combination of Asian and Western cuisines, the Terminal Café menus also feature various types of the traditional and ever-popular “dim sum” dishes only for morning session till 12 noon.

All-in, the Terminal Café proved to be a handy eating spot for hungry lunch-seekers or, with its wide selection of drinks, a decent hangout for holiday-makers.

Getting tired! haha.... Frankly, this is one of the most popular goodies during the Chinese New Year. It has the meaning of bringing good luck and fortune to the family. And that's why I'm so tempting to make mine this year too. 

There's so many versions of pineapple tarts out there but still I love the most is the Malay version Pineapple tart rolls. Since there's too many recipes to choose from, I finally came up a few (rolls & round ones as well) and let my family to make the votes. haha... Good idea huh! They all voted for this roll tart but still the original recipe wasn't exactly what I'm looking for. So, finally I came up with this.
