Hello Kitty will open its first Malaysian cafe this weekend at Sunway Pyramid.

The Hello Kitty Gourmet Cafe will be modelled on the format which has proven successful in the US, Japan, Korea and Hong Kong.

From the outside, the cafe has the appearance of a Parisian cafe with its traditional awning and glass doors. Inside, however, it is a different story. Pink dominates – it is the ‘colour’ of Hello Kitty, after all – and images of the popular icon can be found everywhere. It promises to be an immersive experience for loves of the brand – and their parents.

The cafe,located on the ground floor of Oasis Boulevard, is not just a gimmick. The menu follows more of a gourmet style, including items such as Grilled Salmon (with Hello Kitty shaped potato slices), grilled duck, Strawberry Churros and Hello Kitty Waffles.
