Magnum Cafe @ Mid Valley City, Kuala Lumpur.

So basically, the trend after burgers, now they are targeting desserts for a change. If you ever wondered how can one open a cafe with their own creativity (ig. Burger with watermelon and some weird ingredients and sauce can make it as a top 1 cafe in town or maybe, a nasi lemak flavoured ice cream which I had tried in Paradigm Mall, LG floor - can't recall what's the name of the shop but it is situated at the corner and it is near the escalator. Somehow it feels like I am eating a very cold nasi lemak that has been kept in a freezer for days) however it is, it is still good) 

Now, it is Magnum Cafe! That typical magnum that you see in supermarkets and mini markets comes with its very own dessert and now has its own shop. Amazing isn't it? Before that there was this strawberry magnum ice cream and two more others, after that it was the Magnum Gold which I haven't tried yet (someday) and NOW, they have their own cafe with customized ice cream (that you can now customize your own flavour and topping) and has a selection of dessert. 

Heard it was famous in Bangkok. Now, they decided to open one in Malaysia and I believe this is the first cafe that open in Mid Valley for Malaysia. 

I was there when they launched the cafe and heck, the queue was so long that I heard from my friend that the queue was up to Pet's Wonderland! I was aware that the first 500 customers (correct me

If I am wrong) to come can get free customized ice cream. ._. Didn't want to queue up that long so my friends and I arrive in the afternoon and decided to book a place upstairs (Did I tell you that Magnum Ice Cream has two level which is upstairs and downstairs?) Upstairs is for the customized ice cream, downstairs is like the dessert and the drinks area. 

Right after we placed our names on the waiting list, we went to the Cantin (another restaurant to have something light - it is a new place and it isn't so bad) didn't manage to take a picture but will definitely review about that place on my second visit. 

After an hour, we came back and we got our seats inside! :D 

Service on the first day was pretty bad because the amount of people who queues up and eat would take some time for our desserts to come. Most of the dishes on the menu weren't available and left only a few selection for us to try. Our food only came in after an hour for each. 

We decided to try this because we were curious to know how does it taste like 

This is known as the magnum soup! 

If you are a health freak, go for this. Price is RM22. Small portion, quite disappointing after waiting for an hour for this. It is just typical vanilla ice cream with some Japanese biscuits and herbs and ingredients that reminds me so much like Chinese food. Soup is rather disappointing as well. Too small portion. Size of a sugar jar for tea. 

And here comes the second dessert that we ordered:-

This is 101% better than the other one. The chocolate aka brownie cake was served hot and fresh given by two ice cream (one seems to be like a customized ice cream but they customize it for you LOL and the bottom one is a vanilla ice cream). This is definitely not disappointing at all. Though it is RM30 but I would rather pay for that price compare to that RM22 dessert above. 

It was limited and the best ones were all out of stock. Left alone was just a few selection. 

I tried their hot chocolate too which cost RM14. Very dark chocolate taste-kind-of-feel. Not bad but taste a little bit like Cadbury Dark chocolate to be honest. 

Not recommended to go on a weekend unless you are ready to embrace the extremely long queue. :O
