Tokidoki pop-up at Kumoya Cafe
Having taken the world by storm since 2005, Tokidoki is a brand that has a cult-like following – and it’s coming right here to Singapore in the form of a pop-up at Kumoya Cafe, cutesy characters and all.
The first in the world, the Tokidoki-themed cafe will be launching on 29th March. Be prepared to be transported into a world of Tokidoki when inside – the bright and colourful characters cover every inch of the walls and tables, and you can find floaties and plushies resting on the seats, and hanging from the ceiling.
Needless to say, the menu is Tokidoki-themed as well, and specially curated and styled with the help of popular food stylist, Shirley Wong, also known as Little Miss Bento.
Recommended dishes to try
Moofia-Protected Pressed Sushi Rice
If you’re a fan of sushi, dig into mains like the Moofia-Protected Pressed Sushi Rice ($24.90). Adorable Moofia characters are printed on the sushi-sandwich, and the grilled unagi center is generously slathered with teriyaki sauce.
For those of you who are more of a burger lover, opt for the SANDy and Polpettina Full-of-Life Chicken Katsu Burger ($23.90)! Crispy on the outside but juicy on the inside, the chicken katsu patty is coated with a layer of sweet teriyaki sauce, and comes with a side of salted egg yolk bun, garden salad, and hand-cut fries.
