If you are reading this, chances are you love tokidoki! Rejoice because the World’s FIRST tokidoki cafe is slated to open tomorrow, on 29 March 2018, at Kumoya cafe! You might even get a chance to get up close and personal with Simone Legno, the co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of tokidoki as he will be flying into Singapore specially to officiate the opening launch day of Kumoya X tokidoki pop-up cafe!
I have been a fan of tokidoki in recent years, thanks to fellow mummy friends who introduced me to the tokidoki X Ju-Ju-Be diaper bag collections! To date, I own a variety of bags from collections like Space Place, Animalini, Donutella Sweet Shop, Kaiju City, Unikiki V2, Tokipops, etc! Oops I digress. #sorrynotsorry
My kaki Modgam knows that I loveeee tokidoki, so she very kindly extended her invitation to misterchewy and I to join her in previewing this pop-up adventure. We were instantly blown away as we entered the cafe because it totally screams TOKIDOKI! The entire place is so wild, fun and quirky!
Looking at all the colorful characters makes one feel younger already!
If you don’t already know, the theme at Kumoya changes every three months. Thus, the interior, decorations and menu, etc, change along with the themes.
I also like that Kumoya provides plenty of plush toys which makes the place more fun and inviting. The toys are also great as photos props!
The menu is very straightforward and clearly categorized into Snacks, Mains, Desserts, and Beverages.
Beverages make up the bulk of the menu, with a total of 11 different choices, one of them being the Sassy Strawberry Nojito ($12.90). Sweet and sour, the perfect combo. Strawberry fruit mix is combined with wild mint syrup, soda water and fresh lime. Served with a straw holder of your favorite characters, fresh strawberry and mint leaves. This is one of the selected beverages that comes with free tokidoki limited-edition coasters, while stocks last.
If you are a coffee person, the Latte Iced Latte ($13.90) is a must-try. Handcrafted and brewed from premium UCC Japanese coffee beans. Served with a hand-crafted Latte cookie and magic wafer rainbow sticks. Topped with fresh whipped cream and magic sprinkles.
All Frappe will be served with FREE limited edition Donutella float (worth $12.90) while stocks last. Donutella Mighty Minty Chocolate Chip Frappe ($17.90) A refreshing drink with a minty kick! Green mint syrup is blended with milk and chocolate chips. Topped with fresh whipped cream and a sprinkle of dark chocolate chips!
Kaki had the Donutella Sweet Treat Caramel Popcorn Frappe ($17.90) which she really really liked because it’s super sweet lol. It’s a frappe Donutella would approve! A blend of popcorn syrup, milk and popcorn. Topped with fresh whipped cream, caramel sauce and caramel popcorn.
If you don’t exactly have a sweet tooth, Donutella’s First Love! Strawberry Cheese Frappe ($17.90) is the drink for you! Drink you favorite cheesecake! A frappe made up of cheesecake syrup and blended with strawberry fruit mix and milk. Garnished with red rosebuds, fresh whipped cream and a sprinkle of little rainbow bits! I love it because it’s not cloyingly sweet and was actually quite light and easy to drink! One more also no problem!
Go for the Unicorno Cotton Candy ($17.90) if you want something Instagram-worthy! The bluish purple cotton candy is so pretty that everyone went “WHOA!”. What’s unique, sweet and “rainbowy”? Unicorno’s Rainbow Cotton Candy! Sitting atop passion fruit and strawberry Calpis with butterfly pea tea.
Onion rings and fries are the usual suspects for snacks and we chose the Golden Sweet Potato Fries ($10.90). Taste the natural sweetness of the sweet potato battered with a subtle blend of spices. Balanced nicely with a sprinkle of house-blend sweet sour plum. It’s addictive!
We tried a few of the mains which were all really good. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from a character-themed cafe but we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of food served which is definitely value-for-money!
Donutella & Sweet Friends Japanese Curry Rice ($25.90). Donutella doesn’t go anywhere without her friends. Teriyaki flavored fluffy Japanese rice accompanies Japanese curry, fresh tempura salmon, breaded ebi, breaded scallops, calamari rings and fresh garden salad. Served with Miso soup and side dish of the day.
Moofia-Protected Pressed Sushi Rice ($24.90). Moofia and gang will ensure you’re in safe hands with this pressed sushi rice with grilled unagi in teriyaki sauce, Japanese cucumber and cheddar cheese. Served with Miso soup and side dish of the day.
SANDy and Polpettina Full-of-Life Chicken Katsu Burger ($23.90). SANDy and Polpettina combine forces to bring you chicken katsu burger dipped with sweet teriyaki sauce, hand-cut fries, fresh garden salad with cute ‘bones’ fish cakes and a cute little sweet Polpettina pink mantou with custard fillings. Served with Miso soup and side dish of the day.
A Lot-of-Things LAH! Merlion Seafood Ramen ($28.90). There’s plenty of ingredients swimming in your bowl! Ocean fresh crayfish and scallops, ramen egg, spring onion, wakame and kooky Merlion fish cakes. Served with fresh garden salad and side dish of the day. I really love the attention to detail as this dish is served with a special printed Sea Punk tray liner, while the earlier Moofia sushi rice is served with Moofia tray liner!
Stellina Sunny Morning Unicorno Magic Breakfast ($25.90). Start your day with happy colors! Chicken and beef sausages, hashbrown, scrambled egg, baked beans, fresh garden salad with cherry tomatoes confit and cute thunder cheese with toasted cloud bread with a happy rainbow food-pick. Served with Miso soup and side dish of the day.
The selection of desserts is also very exciting and boy, were we spoilt for choice. Being a hardcore Donutella fan, I just had to pick the Donutella’s Delightful Chocolate Cake with Dark Chocolate Sauce ($18.90)! Discover what makes Donutella delightful. Tuck into a stacked berries cake, fresh berries, heart-shaped konnyaku jelly, pretty flower chocolate, dark chocolate cookies crumble and drizzled with dark chocolate sauce. The berries cake tasted light, moist and fluffy, and went very well with the cookies crumble.
SANDy is kaki’s favorite tokidoki character, so she insisted we order SANDy’s Desert Garden ($17.90)! Welcome to Cactus Land! Hokkaido berries soft serve, cookies and cream brulee, chocolate rocks and flower, buttery SANDy cactus cookies and fresh cream.
Donutella and Dolce make such a perfect pair in the Dolce Pretty-in-Pink Berries Sponge Cake ($18.90)! As delicious as it is pretty! This strawberry sponge cake is accompanied by wafer sticks, fresh cream, marshmallow hearts and rounded off with fluffy cotton candy.
If waffles and ice cream are your thing, then Adios and Ciao Ciao’s Farewell Fantasy Charcoal Waffles ($22.90) will not disappoint. Before you say good-bye, have a Hokkaido berries soft serve and special buttery charcoal waffles, lovely Ciao Ciao heart cookies, fresh berries, strawberry chocolate coated cereal crunch, fresh cream and dark chocolate sauce. I must say that the charcoal waffles were crispy and pretty good!
We saw another table order the Unicorno Rainbow Magic Parfait! ($23.90) and we just had to go over to take some photos of this pretty dessert. Special dual swirl of Hokkaido berries soft serve, handcrafted rainbow wafer bowl, rainbow wafer sticks, Unicorno cookies, homemade brownies, special heart konnyaku jelly and fluffy cotton candy.
