EVERYTHING IVE EVER WANTED.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

There's a wild craze over Hello Kitty in Singapore, in Taiwan, in Japan. Worldwide. Everyone loves the sweet 3-apples-tall feline. And if you're one of the kitty fans then the Hello Kitty Cafe at Taipei is definitely one of the must-go-places for you should you go visiting Taiwan.

With its lovely pink bricked exterior, this sugar-coated restaurant is hard to miss. Upon arrival, be greeted with pink walls and cute sights of Hello Kitty and her friends all over the place!

(The Cashier)
The very first item that caught my sight was this super cute menu sitting at the waiting area.

I felt like I was in fantasy island with all the pink walls, pink bows and pink everything.

Camwhoring while waiting for seats. I'll recommend reservations before visiting the restaurant as they go by "timings". If I'm not wrong, every table is limited to something like one and a half hours in the restaurant. (I think this is what the staff told me..) Perhaps it was due to it being a weekend too, cause there were many parents with their kids there.

Hello Kitty sofas, pink seats, pink table mats.
EVERYTHING IN PINK. I think guys will find the pink too horrifying.

(I really love these seats.)

They have two levels in the restaurants. Its quite a nice cozy place to spend
the afternoon at with your friends.

I was seated at level 2 AND gosh I love the backdrops too! Makes life happier~~

(The interior of the menu)

We decided to go for the set lunch which consists of drinks, salad, bread, soup of the day, a side, a main and a dessert.

(While waiting for the food.. #letstakeaselfie)

(Salad: Tasted barely passable.)

(Hello Kitty Butter Bread: This tasted quite good. Sweet, soft and fluffy.

Well, its got a kitty face there so, points up!)

(Hello Kitty Soup Bowl: Nah, I didn't like the butter consommé soup.

Tasted too buttery and sweet to my liking.)

(Sides- Chicken Wings: Tasted pretty normal)

(Main A - Pasta: I forgot the name but it was something with chicken and chill. And it was spicy, no joke. It tasted pretty oriental, so I think its a fusion dish. Didn't taste like superb but its still edible.)

(Main B- Chicken Drumstick in special sauce. Wasn't awesome either..

Its edible if you're not the fussy kind. But theres a Hello Kitty carrot slice so, oh well..)

(Desserts- Hello Kitty Mango Pudding: Tastes like cold-storage material,

just cuter and a lot more wobblier! HEHE)

(I didn't order this but its SOOOO PICTURE-WORTHY. I think I should have just went for the desserts instead of the set. Im not sure of the taste cause its ordered by a couple sitting at the next table... But Im guessing that macarons, bread, cream, strawberries and a CUTE bread can't get too bad..)

Time for more pictures after eating...

Thats the whole purpose of coming, isn't it..

OMG. If I ever get rich-enough Im gonna have a setting

like this in my karaoke room kayy. #Sherrainedreams

Don't forget to visit the toilet for pictures too!

A pretty light Hello Kitty mirror isn't something that you'e gonna see everyday!

Decided to get some cakes before I left cause they looked so good!

(Spot my Hello kitty Bag haha.)

They looked too good to be eaten!

I was spoilt for choice but I decided on these lovelies after a long time deciding.
Got these for a few friends of mine!

The smaller box should you purchase just one of it.

They do have their very own merchandises sold there as well, so do take a look!

I'd say that Sweet Hello Kitty Cafe's pretty worth going if you've never been to a Hello Kitty cafe. I mean the pictures there are gonna make the trip worth it. The set meal wasn't expensive actually. I think it was like max S$25 per person. Food-wise, it wasn't to my liking. The cakes and desserts should taste better than the mains. :) The desserts menu's more photo worthy too. Ah, so now you know what to order and expect when you get there!

So Hello Kitty isnt a cat?

Friday, August 29, 2014

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I've just heard a recent news about how the HelloKitty Run is finally coming to Singapore and swiftly registered for it.

I've even contemplated going for the HelloKitty flight happening during the Winter holidays.

The next thing I know, you're telling me that HelloKitty is in fact not a cat?? You're kidding me. Seriously. Sanrio, you just left me so mind-fucked that I cant trust my usual judgement anymore..

So what is this whole Hello-not-Kitty thingy about?

It was just yesterday when the news took over the net. I mean, it left everyone relatively surprised.. There was this anthropologist who submitted written texts about HelloKitty for a HelloKitty exhibition she was curating. Sanrio then sent her a letter to correct her saying that HelloKitty is not a cat but a British girl..

HOW CAN THAT NOT BE A CAT?

I am mortified.

So now... I have a room filled with this weird British girl who decided to look like a cat, have whiskers on her face and have a yellow nose.. DOTS.

Sanrio, oh Sanrio

(1) IF thats a British girl you're designing, why does she have a fat oval face, beady eyes, two sharp ears, a yellow nose and whiskers? Or did girls looked like that?

(2) Isn't it written somewhere that HelloKitty is just 5 apples tall?? So this British Girl you imagined is a what? Pixie? Fairie? Dwarf? Elf?

(3) HelloKitty? Why not Hello-something-else. So she was named HelloKitty and has a kitty-face all in coincidence?

(4) I've watched HelloKitty videos all my life and I always had the impression that Hello Kitty lived in an "animal land" cause all her friends were ANIMALS - Feifei the sheep, Thomas the bear, Melody the rabbit and more.. So she's like some Snow White now? A british girl talking and hanging with animals?

(5) You make me feel so confused. Now Im not sure if Snoopy is a pup and if Mickey is a mouse anymore.. :(

(6) I KNOW HelloKitty has a pet named Charmmy, she even has a hamster named Chum. Its cartoon... Chillax guys.

(7) Come on, IDC what you think. She looks like a cat to me so lets just not spoil her way cutesy image of being a nice friend walking on two legs living in a fantasy world of ours?

(8) Honestly.... just IMAGINE and be less SERIOUS.

(9) Oh yea, if HelloKitty is KittyWhite the British girl, she's bald man.. PS, even Daniel has hair....

(10) Its impossible HelloKitty is not a 猫.

Sanrio did some clarifying this morning and let the truth be told..

HelloKitty is a PERSONIFICATION of a cat. Just like how Mickey lived as a human in his own world (dating Minnie, having Pluto as a pet, driving a car), HelloKitty is a cat who was given human characteristics. She walks on two legs, is able to hold a pen and likes Daniel. (if you watched the cartoon series). Compared to her sister MiMi, who was portrayed to be more quiet and reserved, HelloKitty is a fun-loving, a little spoilt and a bubbly girl.

So there you have it.
As long as Mickey is STILL a mouse.
HelloKitty is STILL a cat.

Like phew.. :) I really dont like that idea of HelloKitty being human..

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

If you're a Hello Kitty lover like me then here's a piece of good news for you!

You see.. I woke up one morning and found this really cute parcel being sent to me.

And its such a cute parcel that I didnt bear to open it before snapping loads of pictures!

Hey its a freaking HELLO KITTY Parcel okay??

Anyway, I'm really excited and glad to have received the parcel so here's a big THANK YOU to Singpost for the lovely Snack Attack!

Trust me. There just isnt an end to the Hello Kitty craze.

So, last year we had McDonald's Hello Kitty plushies and EzLink's Hello Kitty cards. This year, Hello Kitty 'infiltrates' Singpost and TA DAA we now have Hello Kitty stamps! Thats right, all you kitty fans out there, here's another MUST collect.

Isnt that adorable?

And the inside looks like this!

I really like how they feature Hello Kitty against a background that is so uniquely Singapore. Oh and if you look closely, there's the merlion, mbs and a cute Singapore Post building right there! It almost looks as if Hello Kitty and her friends are "living" here in SG. Also, the stamps are so strategically placed that if you should one day decide to even get the stamps out of the folder, the individual pieces will look good too.

Each MyStamp set comes with specially designed Hello Kitty collectibles and souvenir sheets. Along with the APR set comes this royal blue lanyard!

In celebration of Hello Kitty's 40th Anniversary, Singpost will issue five limited edition MyStamp sets throughout the year. The blue one sent to me is the one released in APR.

Here's all the designs available.

APR: Hello Kitty MyStamp 8-page Book Set: ($69.90)

16 APR: Hello Kitty Singapore MyStamp Folder Set: ($18)

18 JUN: Hello Kitty Classic MyStamp Folder Set ($28)

28 AUG: Hello Kitty Love & Friendship MyStamp Folder Set ($28)

28 OCT: Hello Kitty MyStamp 40th Anniversary Celebration Folder Set ($38)

I'm actually really looking forward to getting the travel bag and the umbrella. *HINT HINT*

Anyway, there's a Bundle Set Promotion now which will give you a complete set of Singpost X Hello Kitty 40th Anniversary Collection at only $155! (This is available from 1st Apr to 31st Oct only) Pre-orders can be made at the post office or online at www.stampdelight.com

Oh yea, other than the folder, I got some Hello Kitty snacks from Singpost too! :)
