Hello Kitty Café Singapore , being one of the participating restaurants to give Complimentary Kids' Meal with every adult main ordered.

During the phase when the café first opened its doors to the public, I read about the long queue and the food was expensive and tasted terrible. I beg to differ, in my opinion how terrible can the dishes taste? Afterall, it is a character themed restaurant, you cannot expect foodcourt price or One Michelin Star standard for the food and if you choose to be the very first who wanted to share your dining experience to your friends or on the social media when it was first opened, of course you would have to be mentally prepared for the long waiting time.

Here I shared my dining experience, the ambience was cosy and lavishly decorated with orchids.

I was looking through the menu, saw one National Day Menu with choice of "Hae Bee Hiam Pasta"and "Bak Kwa Mac & Cheese",  I was so tempted because both are my favourite ! On the other hand, I could not resist Captain's Favourite Curry and yes, it won me over. This is the cafe's rendition of the popular Kapitan Curry and totally no regrets !

I loved the thicker, richer and more flavourful curry as compared to the normal chicken curry. It was a little spicy but totally manageable and the curry chicken chunks were served with some fresh greens , a soft and fluffy Japanese bun. Be sure to dip the bun and savor together with the curry! I would have to say the portion is perfect for a nice tea break but would not be filling if you are going to take it as lunch or dinner.

Parents can now rejoice ! Kids menu is now available for the junior patrons!

Xav ordered one of the most popular dishes that kids love, Holy Macaroni, which comes with a drink as a set.

Hello Kitty Café Singapore also aims at providing patrons with a different dining experience each time they visit. Be sure to capture pictures with a different theme on certain occasions.

To celebrate the nation's birthday, #SG52, they even had a menu for it with some dishes created specially using our all time local favourites like #Haebeehiam pasta and #Bakkwa mac and cheese.

Looks like I have to make another visit should the Cafe decided to keep this menu permanent. I thought this menu is good to also introduce overseas visitors Singaporean's favourite!
Not forgetting the good company too! Nice to see you ladies !
