Minions Cafe Review: Devour Stuart, Mel and More Minions At Orchard Central

The Minions, everyone’s favourite evil sidekick, are now here on our shores with a big bello ! Only threw open its doors for a limited time from 23 November 2017 to 31 January 2018, this pop-up Minions Cafe showcases a menu fully decked out with 14 wittily named dishes.

First Look At The New Minions Cafe In Orchard Food at Minions Cafe Minion’s Great Escape Cream Stew ($20.90++) was the first item we tried. We squealed at the cute and totally edible portrait of Mel – the one-eyed Minion who always seem to sport an RBF.

As the name states, it is a cream stew served with a packed layer of fragrant, yellow rice. The addition of sweet vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, and broccoli, along with tender pieces of chicken balanced the mildly savoury cream sauce. “More stew please!” was the only thing I could wish for.

It was as if Gru had a say in the kitchen, cutting down on the portion of the food going out to the guests. We had S’more & Minion’s Ice Cream ($16.90++) for dessert.

It features Stuart, the playful Minion with a rebellious streak, as a scoop of mango ice-cream in the middle of a bed of marshmallows. Give it a pass and opt for a light dessert like the Rescue Mel Affogato ($13.20++) instead.

I was impressed by the depth of details that went into decorating the food. Café Latte ($8.90++) is decked out with a darling picture of Phil on top of a layer of milk foam.

The coffee was smooth and milky, perhaps intentionally made not too strong to suit the light-hearted and fun theme of the cafe. Ambience at Minions Cafe As I was looking around in the midst of tasting the food served to us, I couldn’t help but to wish the area would be decorated with more life-sized figurines like those that were seen at the Cartoon Network Cafe . Perhaps the lack of those was because this is just a pop-up cafe, here to showcase the food more than the ambience.

Don’t forget to check out the merchandise exclusively divested here at the cafe. The verdict My colleague and I enjoyed our time here as much as we thought we would.

The food was not only a feast for the eyes, they as well provided an element of fun. After all, a themed cafe, we anticipated the prices of the food to be steep as it is.

Personally, this would be a one-time experience for me to do it for the gram, or just to make my Minion-crazed best friend happy for a day. If these hysterical characters are not enough to feed your love for movies, here is a list of themed cafes you can check out as well!
