I dropped by the internationally acclaimed Magnum cafe that has garnered the attention of the public simply with its long snaking queues as they make their way to the cinema in Mid Valley.
Thankfully, I got there just before lunch, meaning the masses were still hunting for proper meals instead of satisfying their sweet tooth. Magnum occupies two floors: the first being on the same level as the cinema and the second just above.
The line starts on the left as you enter the shop, where you are handed a menu that teleports you into something like Willy Wonka's factory. With multiple toppings, bases and coating, it's time for you to go wild! Or not. I must admit, I get so overwhelmed that sometimes I just want something readily suggested for me. So I went for the very Oriental-sounding Golden Flower (RM 9.90).
Upon payment, you witness the scooping of your toppings. The usual nuts, berries and chocolate toppings are the safest choices. For the more adventurous, try the goji berries, rose petals and well...go check it out yourself ;)
Coat it, top it, drizzle it and let it set is the sequence of making your own Magnum!
Whilst the interior is a warm chocolatey colour (IMHO, a bit dull), they did take the effort to spruce it up with interesting art pieces like the one below.
After the selection of toppings which are put into a shaker and mixed, a fresh bare Magnum is whipped out of its sealed packaging. It is then off to the dipping station.
With three choices: white, milk and dark chocolate dips, customers can really experience a full customization experience of their ice cream.
Golden Flower
The toppings are then sprinkled atop the dipped ice cream, creating an interesting finish. My Golden Flower consists of popcorn, rose petals and gold nuggets.
My verdict? I found it too sweet. If anything, go for the experience of customization. At RM 9.90 a pop, it is an affordable experience Magnum is selling.
