[Review] Pompompurin Cafe @ Orchard Central (Singapore)

Pompompurin Cafe (布丁狗餐厅) is the first Sanrio character cafe in Singapore follow by Hello Kitty Orchard Garden which is located at Changi International Airport (terminal 3, arrival hall). Pompompurin or aka Purin is a big yellow coloured dog who wears his trademark brown beret. This newly setup cafe is located at level four of Orchard Central Mall and the queue starts to form even way before it opens at 11am.

Overall our impression of the cafe on our first visit was quite neutral. Despite of the waiting time (the queue and serving time for food), average food and price I think the cafe is still an insta-worthy place if you are looking for something different.
