Hello Kitty Orchid Garden, the first hello kitty café in
Singapore, has set foot in Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 3 Arrival Hall. Many
hello kitty lovers have been overjoyed by this introduction as they no longer
have to go abroad to visit these cute café. Unlike the usual hello kitty café,
this hello kitty café in Singapore was also infused with Singapore national
flower – Orchid.
Hello Kitty Orchid Garden is owned and operated by
Europa Specialty Restaurant (S) Pte Ltd, a licensed partner of Sanrio Co.,
Ltd., and a subsidiary fully owned by ABR Holdings Ltd. Founded in 1978,
ABR Holdings Limited began as the owner and operator of the first full-service
Swensen’s ice cream restaurant. Today, the company is listed on the main board
of the Singapore Exchange, and primarily manages, franchises and operates a portfolio
of well-known food and beverage companies and brands, including Swensen’s,
Earle Swensen’s, Yogen Fruz, Season Confectionary & Café and Tip Top Curry
Puff.
Hello Kitty Orchid Garden was located at level one,
operating for 24 hrs. Although it was supposed to be 24 hrs, but due to the
popular demand, the food was sold out at about 730am. So they took down our
name and told us to return later in the afternoon. As seen by the notice below.
The café has white background with orchid flesh flower
decorating the place. It was chic and colourful, creating a very vibrant vibe.

The food offered by the café was considered reasonable
as it was about $10 plus per main which the drinks was priced about $6.
Reasonably priced, similar to that of the café price we normally see.
While waiting for the food to come, patrons can took
photo at the photo spot as a form of memories there. The food does not take
long to come. On average, it takes about 5min serving time. The food was served
fast but the food was not warm.
We have ordered the latte ($5.90), Cappuccino ($5.90),
Rose, Rose I Love You ($17.50), Hola Nachos! ($15.90) & Big Breakfast
Surprise ($18.50).
Rose, Rose I Love you was actually buttery orange sugee
cake covered with cholate/oreo crumbs. It comes with strawberry rose butter
cream and a creamy scoop of peanut butter gelato. The peanut butter gelato was
really creamy, smooth and fragrance. On the other hand, the orange sugee cake
topped with chocolate soil tends to be very dry. But I find the cake very
chewy. It would be recommended to consume each bite of the cake with some
buttercream or ice cream to reduce the dryness.

Big breakfast surprise came with two pieces of hello
kitty shaped waffles, scrambled eggs, sautéed mushroom and a few sliced of
smoked ducked. The waffles tend to be very dry and tasteless, so it would be
better to eat with the toppings and the honey lime maple syrup. The scrambled
eggs and sautéed mushroom did not fair well too as they taste kind of bland. This
dish was decently made, but lack the “wow factor”.

Hola Nachos! Was actually crunchy tortilla chips topped
with parmesan, jalapenos, olives, onions and cherry tomato salsa. Well, I’m not
a fan of those topping. But I love how crispy the tortilla chips were. They
were so crispy and crunchy. When it was dipped into the nacho cheese, it was so
addictive till I’m craving for more.

The latte and cappuccino was decent. But due to the
overwhelming demand, they sold out the hello kitty shaped cookies that comes with
drinks L

All in all, I enjoyed this café as it was pretty and affordable. It was a great and wise decision to introduce
this popular Sanrio character to Singapore. I sincerely hope that you guys will
be lucky not to meet the same situation as me where things sold out and have to
wait for hours for a restock.
