Food Review: Pokemon Cafe

Better share this before its over! :x

Pokémon Cafe - in collaboration with EwF - is at Bugis Junction from 27th May to 31st July.

Ahh, brings back the memories of us glued to our Game Boys trying to win all the gyms in the Kanto region.

I actually got as far as the Elite Four but died at Lance's hand :x

The game is so different now, with all the running shoes and whatnot.

Selfie with #buddingyeast! :D

Anyway, we went on a Friday, and the queue wasn't too bad. Around 1.5 hour?

Not as bad as the 5 hour wait on opening day hahah.

Menu was presented to us - order first while waiting for your table.

Eh but honestly saying, that didn't cut down waiting time by much. 

We still had to wait around 20 mins for the food after getting seated.

4 mains, 4 desserts, 4 drinks. 1 takeaway item.

Only 2 mains were available at the time, meh.

Bwahahah Bimb's Pika-Bf. 

The only 'live' Pikachu we saw - meh, no mascot.

EwF's service staff do it right - they are friendly, and they know the menu well when questioned.

I'm quite ley chey - can't eat beef or mutton, so I had to know what's in the sauce.

The waiter answered me quite patiently.

Ahh so cute the Pikachu couple as waiter and waitress!

Fun fact: Female Pikachus' tail end in a heart shape. <3 p="">

No food yet so cute placemat first!

This two guys bring it to a whole new level on Instagram-worthy.

Dining buddies!

Special Move "Fire Blast"! Primal Groudon's Bolognese - $20

The Pokéball is a fried egg, slathered with tomato sauce and detailed with seaweed.

It's sitting atop beef bolognese, with two slices of bread.

Quite a weird dish, I mean, was it meant to be a deconstructed hamburger..?

Pok didn't know where to start, hahaha.

Pikachu Smiling Rice Omelette with Magma Sauce - $25

I think the rice is alright - plain old saffron rice, but omg tomato sauce does NOT go well with it. 

The Magma sauce is some coconut milk thingy, sorta like laksa without the spice. 

Most disappointing of all is the egg i guess. It is your nasi lemak kind of egg.

Bimb was telling me not to think like that, if not we would have paid $25 for a plate of nasi lemak. :x

But REALLY. Pikachu looks like it got hit by a water gun rather than smiling :/

Pikachu's Sweeeeet Pancake - $20

This was actually yummy. Pancake is chewy, and the tail is made of biscuit.

And we arrived at a conclusion.

Have your dinner somewhere else and only have the desserts here. Hahaha.

Yes yes, we know not to expect much from a themed cafe, we can still have a shred of hope.
There is actually a lot of potential dishes for a Pokemon theme - I mean, just look at Japan's.
And coming from EwF, which makes really yummy food.. This was really sad.

I don't want to say anything else about the photobooth and the staff's photography skills either. Hahaha.
