Magnum Cafe Kuala Lumpur: My graduation treat

Yesterday was my graduation day for my Honours Degree! And yes, that's my second graduation! This time my bestie wasn't in town so she couldn't attend the ceremony:(

Anyway, today when I was about to start my journal reading my besties asked me out for lunch saying that it's her treat! I could have anything meal that I want as a graduation treat!!! Yahoo! So we decided on Subway for lunch and the graduation treat was....

Magnum Cafe Kuala Lumpur

Midvalley, 3rd Floor (A few steps away from GSC)

Magnum Cafe Kuala Lumpur

I posted this picture below on Facebook asking people to guess where we went LOL

Michelle's M, teehee

Entrance at the 3rd floor

The Magnum cafe has two levels which you can choose to enter. I entered from the 3rd floor entrance which is a few steps away from GSC cinema. Most people queue here for their customisable ice- cream but the seats here on the 3rd floor is very limited.

I think the above floor is for hot meals but I've read n blogs that you could order your ice- cream there as well. Not too sure though.

Good thing for me, though the seats are always full on the 3rd floor, the turnover rate is pretty quick. When I was there people sat and ate their ice- cream and cam whored and then left once they are done. 

However, if you are unlucky to meet this certain groups of people who are purely inconsiderate (i.e. lepak there like dang long even after finished ice- cream) then boo for you.

Magnum lady explaining the menu

Before the lady could explain the menu to us, we we asked to move into the shop already. Lost and confused was what we felt LOL Anyway, we proceeded in the shop and realised that the line didn't start from the entrance, it started from the cashier inside. So it's like a snake line:S

Very weird queue though because here is how it rolls. You gotta queue to pay first at the cashier then you proceed to customise your ice- cream and then get the final product from the Magnum staff. But the starting point of queue is the ending point of queue. Like what???

Anyway, just follow the crowd if unsure. The Magnum staff were very nice so I don't think you will get scolded if you get confused about where the line is.

These are the pictures that I took while waiting to reach the cashier:

Three types of chocolate: Dark, milk and white chocolate

Rebecca's favourite mixer! LOL

Staff in the loop, see I was at this side (where the picture was taken from) and the people over there are the ones in front of the line

Paper boxes for the Magnum ice- cream. It's DIY box, so cute I feel like stealing some unfolded ones! lmao

Spotted the fondue set

See the banana in the picture? There was this uncle who was quite weird behind me. He kept talking crap and his pitiful wife had to endure his nonsense. He saw the banana and asked his wife if it he could take that for free when he obviously knows he can't la. Then he said to his wife that he's gonna ask the Magnum staff anyway about if he can take it for free, which he eventually did. WTF?

Then when we reached the pistachio crushing area, he asked the Magnum staff whether the nuts were Kacang Putih like a fool. It's not like he didn't know what was it, he just had to ask silly questions and made life difficult for the staff who didn't know the nut's name in English.

I had to endure his nonsense for 5- 10 minutes :S

Pistachio crushing area. That's what the staffs were doing in the loop in the picture earlier.

Pleasure Makers crushing nuts LOLOL

Owh, and they crushed Oreos too

 

Finally, we reached the menu!

Selection of custom made ice- cream

You could either select the ones that has been pre- customised or you could do it yourself. The price is the same for both, RM9.90. If you're doing it yourself, you will be able to pick any three toppings!! And the toppings look real interesting, I'll show you later what I mean!

Cashier explaining about customising ice- cream

The Magnum staff would encourage you to customise your own ice- cream because I think that's the while purpose of you visiting a Magnum cafe right? But I was busy taking pictures and didn't want to hog the line by getting all rambang mata choosing the toppings so I decided on Cookie Monster.

That's my Cookie Monster! I knew I wanted a vanilla ice- cream with dark chocolate coating, so I chose this!

Gold Nuggets

After paying, you will then customise your ice- cream!!! This is where the fun begins! I spotted this Gold Nuggets and it look sooooooo pretty! Next time I'm sure that I would want to have Gold Nuggets and Flowers on my ice- cream! Too pretty to be eaten, oh noms noms noms.

Topping up Gold Nuggets

So Cleopatra! I like the Gold so much that I regretted a little choosing Cookie Monster LOL

A view of all the toppings

Bestie chose to customise her own ice- cream and surprisingly she decided on her three toppings real fast!

The guy on the left asked who's the Cookie Monster for and I squealed, "Me!!" HAHA

He cued me to follow him. First he showed me the vanilla ice- cream and confirmed that it's Cookie Monster that I wanted. Then he told me that it's going to be dipped in dark chocolate. After that he top it off with crushed oreos, white chocolate balls and dark chocolate balls. Finishing touch with a drizzle of white choc!

Actually finishing touch was this "M" chocolate! It was nicely placed on my Magnum ice- cream and left to set.

Dipping naked ice- cream into chocolates that will harden after a while

Sprinking my toppings on. Btw, they will put all three toppings into a shaker, give it a shake and then pour it on top of your ice- cream so it's properly and evenly mixed!

Finishing touch, a drizzle of white chocolate

My graduation treat, Cookie Monster!!!!

Magnum staff melting more chocolates. Love that they always top up their stuffs even if it's still half full! So everything look so happy and alive!

That's my Cookie Monster on the left and Nit's Pistachio + Almond +  Pretzels

Us with our Magnum ice- cream!

A closer shot of Cookie Monster 

A closer shot of Nit's customised Magnum ice- cream

Found a seat at the side where it was really nice and cosy because it was in a "L" shape but I told Nit that we should give up that seat to this man with his toddler. Good thing the seat next to that got vacant so we quickly slam out butts down, LMAO.

Thank you for the graduation ice- cream Nit!!! It's actually quite meaningful because I always associated Magnum to me since the symbol is a "M". Who knows one day I'll be own Magnum :P

Yums

I took so many picture and it didn't melt right away but when I had my first bite the vanilla ice- cream was flowing hahahaha But! But! Good ice- cream melts fast! If the ice- cream melts slow it only means there is more edible oil in it.

HABIS!

More seats at the side on high stools but these people were booking the seats for their friends

I think that it's only reasonable and considerate if you get your ice- cream then find a seat so that people before you could finish up their ice- cream seating. By the time they finish, I bet you are still in the queue paying or maybe it's just in time for you to get your end product then look for a sit. This way everyone is happy. Nonetheless, can't help it la if selfish people exist.

One last shot outside Magnum Cafe. So very glad I need not travel to Jakarta or Bangkok for Magnum Cafe! 

"M"

M from Magnum sticks! Nice!!
