Mc Donald'S Style Paneer Mcpuff
23 June, 2016
Who doesn't like junk and unhealthy food ? Well everything served outside is not suppose to be unhealthy. I am a die heart foodie but somehow or the other I don't enjoy these branded junk foods much.
I very rarely crave for Pizza, Burger etc, hence I am a very rare visitor at these places who serve these stuffs. But like any other child, my son Abeer is total opposite to me. He loves to indulge himself into all such so called 'junk foods' and I won't be surprise if he choose to live on them forever.
So because of my son, both me and my husband keep going to such places once or twice in a month. After Dominos and Pizza Hut, Abeer has now fallen in for Mc Donald's. In his words its his most favorite food joint that serves him world's best Burgers and Puffs.
Now after such a bold statement, i had to try some Puffs too. Lined pastry sheet pockets filled with a saucy paneer and bell pepper filling was really something worth spending money. Yes, I won't deny, i loved it completely and had a lot of them.
