If you're looking for another place for halal afternoon tea in KL, you should definitely check out Tenggek Burung Cafe!

Their Roti Paung is a customer favourite - soft, fluffy, and freshly baked!? Pair it with an order of sambal ikan bilis for some extra spice, and you've got your mid-day snack lined up. Don't forget the sweet stuff either!
Their cakes are all gorgeous, but the Raspberry Rose Pistachio cake definitely stands out! Look at how gorgeous those swirls are, and the yummy raspberry coulis sandwiched between layers of rose pistachio cake sounds like a heavenly treat. Click here to read more about Tenggek Burung Cafe!
