Cafe Terrace
The original Food Court was shuttered in March 2008 and the new "Cafe Terrace" opened in the expanded area of the mall to much fanfare. Several previous tenants such as Panda Express, Subway, and Hot Dog on a Stick moved to larger locations at 'Cafe Terrace', while other places that called the old "Food Court" home like 'Pho Express', 'Genghis Khan Mongolian Barbecue', and 'Great Steak and Potato', did not. It is presumed these tenants did not renew their leases or did not find a viable location within the new area. Cafe Terrace also introduced several new eateries to the mall including such national chains as Johnny Rockets, Nestle-Toll House Bakery, and El Torito. To capitalize on the new area, the movie theater was conveniently located at the southeast end of the food court to capture hungry patrons of the cinema.
While technically not with "Cafe Terrace", but rather in a larger space directly beneath "Cafe Terrace", the Jollibee Restaurant corporation of the Philippines, operating three of its restaurant Chowking and Red Ribbon concept brands in one location, in conjunction with area's large expatriate population.

Famous quotes containing the words cafe and/or terrace:
“When cafe life thrives, talk is a shared limberness of the mind that improves appetite for conversation: an adequate sentence maker is then made good, a good one excellent, an excellent one extraordinary.”
—Vivian Gornick (b. 1935)
“A tree that can fill the span of a man’s arms
Grows from a downy tip;
A terrace nine stories high
Rises from hodfuls of earth;
A journey of a thousand miles
Starts from beneath one’s feet.”
—Lao-Tzu (6th century B.C.)
