Want to relive your childhood? We dined with Cinnamoroll at Kumoya

Sanrio's iconic Cinnamoroll has an entire cafe pop-up dedicated to him - and its damn cute.

Written by a Honest Agent

Want to relieve your childhood? Kumoya Singapore has collaborated with Sanrio to celebrate the iconic character, Cinnamoroll’s 20th anniversary by holding a pop-up cafe from 19th August 2022 at Orchard Central level 4.

Wah but not only they serve adorable food, the whole cafe is also Insta-worthy leh. For a limited time only, indulge in their exclusive menu items while dining with Cinnamoroll plushies.

We got freshly fried mini tater tots with sweet potato mochi balls ($13.90) served to us in an adorable display with mayo dip. This one confirm cannot go wrong. Don’t get me started on their sweet potato mochi ball. It had that QQ texture with sweet potato paste inside it. The Instagrammable food display was just a plus point.

I was honestly surprised when the dish came out because it was just too cute. ‘Let’s fly Cinnamoroll’ ($26.90) comes with a salmon croquette with a little corn surprise in it.

My favourite was the salmon croquette. It was extremely soft and fluffy and not to add, the corn in it was just a chef’s kiss.

The sauce may be a bit tasteless lah so make sure to eat it with the cheese and croquette. I was expecting the sauce to be much richer and creamier but horh, it tasted very similar to a mushroom soup. On the bright side, it’s not too heavy so u won’t be scared of feeling jelak.

To cleanse our palette, we ordered their Assorted hot tea ($11.90) that came with a teapot with candle at the bottom. So don’t worry about your water getting cold but even if it does, you can also get a one-time complimentary refill of hot water. NOT BAD LEH! We chose Jasmine from the four tea options available. They have Oolong, Earl Grey and Lychee Tea as well.

Location & Service

The space was cutely decorated and each table had a Cinnamoroll plushie! So while waiting for your food to arrive, you could take insta-worthy shots with the plushie and there’s even a mini photo spot at the entrance for you to take some pictures for the gram.

Honest Opinion:

Quote: Adorable Meal

There were many items on the menu that were not available when we went on Monday afternoon, so it was unfortunate that we were unable to try some of the popular items like the Fluffy Dreamland Japanese Seafood Curry Rice, yuzu soda with Cinnamoroll cloud. As I could see, it was available on other days. We probably just went at the wrong timing lorh. Haiz.

I recommend the tater tots with sweet potato mochi balls. Let’s Fly Cinnamoroll Japanese Salmon Croquette Cream Rice was not very impressive, aside from the aesthetics. But I'd say I enjoyed the experience of dining there. However, the servings for the main dishes were good for one lah, so you can leave the cafe with a happy tummy.

While it may burn a hole in your wallet, the experience was worthwhile.
