Magnum Cafe

I am a fan of Magnum. Knowing that this café opened in MV, I never had a chance to go there, until today.
I had Fruity Loops for my first time and it’s not something to be regret on. I love the taste of sweet white choc with the sour of goji berries on top of it and also a bonus of pistachios.
My friend had Black Forest. However, we don’t really like the taste. (Thank God I’ve made a right choice. Haha.)
The price for me is reasonable — especially for the moment we had there. I really enjoyed my magnum and yes, I’ll come again for another flavour.

Months after it first opened, I finally stepped inside the place. mostly because the line is shorter on a weeknight, but not necessarily faster because the staff have to explain the process to every single person in line, which takes time.
RM9.90 for the customisable Magnum is not bad, but not crazy enough to go back multiple times. Downstairs area is for people who want to sit to eat their customised Magnums; upstairs is for people that want to try the other menu items.
Once is fine, but not a place I would go back again any time soon.

When I first saw the new Magnum store in Midvalley, I expected that the price would not be close to cheap. The setting of the café looks very posh, elegant, and beautiful with high sofas, some stunningly decked replica of Magnum ice cream, as well as other gold colour decorative elements. It was the first Magnum Café opened in Malaysia and I was stoked to give it a try, and so we did.
The waiters at this café are well trained into the next level of customer service. They explain and promote the stuff on the menu, even when my friend informed them that it was not her first time and even when she knows what to order already. We ended up ordering their signature dish, which is the strawberry Magnum in a jar. It was sooooooo good! The strawberries are plumped, fresh, and sweet; and the yogurt texture is perfect.
Nevertheless, one problem, and I feel bad, but I really have to say that… The Magnum in a jar is ridiculously expensive (RM 24!!!) for *one* stick of ice cream with some toppings decorated inside a jar. It was definitely a wholesome experience, and I’d like to revisit next time, but perhaps I will try the customized Magnum ice cream, which is RM 9.90; at least way cheaper than the Magnum in a Jar! :p

If it wasn’t because of the selection of toppings, I would not visit.
When it first started, the queue was horrible! People actually waited for half an hour to an hour just to get their hands on the unique magnum.
RM9.90 per stick (Including 3 choice of topping) is just average.

Not a fan of dairy, so I just accompanied my friend who wanted his own custom-​made Magnum ice cream. We were astonished as we saw the long queue! If I’m not mistaken we stood as we waited for nearly a half hour. When it came to our turn, he asked to have his ice cream made his own way.
Basically, you have to choose an ice cream base. Being the glutton he is, he chose chocolate. After that, it was doused in white chocolate, which was pretty cool because it froze into a white chocolate shell. As for the toppings he chose a dark chocolate drizzle and some dried fruits. It did look pretty awesome to be honest.
In my opinion, waiting THIS long for an ice-​cream stick that will be devoured within a short period of time (my friend practically inhaled it) ain’t that worth it. The prices here are also kinda high. But it’s definitely worth the experience decorating your own ice cream.

I brought a friend and his 10 year old daughter who was visiting KL and they absolutely went bonkers!
They loved the whole experience of being able to create your very own Magnum. From the flavor of the ice cream, the yummy coating and of course the toppings. All of that joy for only RM 10! Weepeedoo!
A must go to place for all.(dont worry about your diet, for just one day) it wont kill ya but it definitely will make you and your tummy happy!

The magnum café in Mid Valley is one of its kind. Though it can get extremely crowded during the weekends and you may have to wait for a table. I once went and had to wait for half an hour before we even got to the front of the line.
There are two options here. You can choose to sit down right away and order something off the menu or you can choose to have your own customised magnum made. The first time I went I chose to make my own magnum because really, who wouldn’t want their own customised magnum? I chose a vanilla magnum with white chocolate shell and a caramel and chocolate drizzle and dried mango.
The second time round my friend and I decided to order off the menu. I can’t remember what it’s called but I ordered a giant soft baked chocolate chip cookie with a magnum on top. My friend ordered a slice of red velvet cake topped with two plain vanilla magnums. to be honest, don’t order the giant cookie if you’re eating it by yourself. Halfway through it started getting too sweet and I couldn’t finish the last ¼ of it so I recommend not to order this unless you’re sharing with someone. The portion in real life is a lot bigger that it looks like in the picture. The cookie itself was done just the way I liked it. Soft and chewy but somewhat crunchy on the edges with a lot of chocolate chips baked in.
The red velvet dish wasn’t anything special. Just a regular red velvet cake with two sticks of magnum ice cream. The cake was just average and nothing special.

Magnum café is something new to town and it drives the people into crazy. Every time I passed by, there was super long queue outside the store. Finally, I gotta try it when the heat is slightly over.
If you are first to the store, you may try out the recommended signature by Magnum café. Or, you may pay about RM10 to customize your own magnum ice cream. The customization is a 4-​step process — coat, top, drizzle and set. You may start off with a choice of vanilla or chocolate brownie flavor and then coated with chocolate or vanilla. Then you can choose any 3 toppings from the counter, like hazelnuts, raisins, marshmallows etc. They also serve chili flakes but I didn’t dare to try. Finally, you may finish it with a drizzle of milk, dark or white chocolate.
I bought a chocolate brownie ice-​cream topped with Oreo crumbs, chopped almond, blackcurrent pastilles, drizzled with white chocolate. The presentation of the customization process and the final ice cream is quite good I would say, but it’s still a little bit too sweet me. It was quite a good experience.

Yes ladies and gentleman if you didn’t know in Magnum café in Malaysia you can make YOUR OWN Magnum. It is just the most remarkable thing I’ve ever got to do, making my own personalised ice cream.
What I love more than Magnum now is a handmade Magnum. I recommend it to anyone crossing by Kuala Lumpur to go by and pick up your own personalised Magnum it’s just delicious and sweet, the place usually super full and crowded so there is like always thirty people on cue, going across the mall from the shop to the middle of the mall, but surely it’s worth it. but I would recommend you to go at night this way its not that crowded and go around 9pm like or maybe after 8:30 this way its really not crowded.

I just visited Malaysia’s first Magnum café, a recent major magnet for crowds near GSC’s Mid Valley multiplex. The lines are quite long outside the café especially on the weekends or public holiday, but no fear as it will probably take only between 15 to 30 minutes to inch toward the counter.
The hours-​long wait only happened during the first day, when the folks were baited by Magnum Café with free ice cream promotion. However, it’s more manageable now compared to that time. Magnum Café has two floors. The cinema-​level space is only takeaway orders. As for the upstairs level, patrons can also opt for sit-​down meals.
The special feature at this café is that you can make your own Magnum ice cream. You start by choosing an ice cream base either vanilla or chocolate, coated it with milk, white or dark choc, and then customize it further with a plethora of fascinating toppings.

The first time I went to Magnum Café was after a late night movie and hence, didn’t get the chance to try out their really pretty and delicious-​looking dine-​in food. I really wanted to try them, so I went again one fine afternoon while my boyfriend was still busy at work.
I head to the upper level of the café which is specifically for customers who are dining in. It was so much more spacious compared to the lower level of the café. I did not expect it to be so different. The decorations made the café looked really bright and elegant, with really comfortable seats.
I really wanted to try the Magnum Kaya Waffle Toast. I was disappointed when they told me it was sold out. I guess I would have to return for the third time as I really really really wanted to try the Kaya Waffle Toast. I –settled for my second choice — red velvet cake. It comes together with vanilla ice-​cream coated with dark chocolate. It was so pretty that I just can’t bear to eat it.
In the end, after taking enough photos, I finished the red velvet cake before the ice cream melted. It was a nice experience though I must say, the price is a little too expensive.

Finally, dragged along by my girlfriend, I got the chance to visit the really popular Magnum Café! It was several months after their grand opening and it was after a late night movie when the mall is about to close. Even so, we still have to be in the queue for a little while before we were served.
There were 2 floors to the café. The lower floor focused mainly on takeaway ice-​cream whereas the upper floor was for dining in purposes. As it was already pretty late at night, we only went for the ice cream. The décor and layout of the café is elegant and interesting. It kept us less bored while waiting in the line.
We could either choose to have one of their pre-​customised ice-​cream or choose to make our own Magnum ice-​cream. We chose to make our own and the journey started with choosing the flavour of the ice-​cream — vanilla or chocolate? After picking vanilla, we moved on to decided the coat — dark chocolate, milk chocolate or white chocolate? As I prefer my dessert to not be overly sweet, I went for dark chocolate. After that, we chose 3 toppings and they will sprinkle it onto our ice-​cream and drizzle some chocolate over it.
And, the ice-​cream is ready! Wait. No, it’s not! We’ll have to wait for a couple of minutes for the ice-​cream to set before eating.
It was an interesting experience. However, I still prefer the normal magnum ice-​cream which is so much cheaper and still taste as good without the fancy toppings.

Strategically placed on the highest level of Mid Valley and near to the cinema, everything about Magnum Café screams ‘Look at me!’ ‘Now buy an ice cream!’. From the beautifully crafted Magnums sitting in glass cases to the big serving station right in the center of the café, it seems that it has paid off. Relying on its long standing brand presence in Malaysia, it has drawn in big crowds including this cynical sucker.
Accompanying my sister, we waited obediently in line while watching in fascination as they work their magic. I have to admit that they handled the crowd well. In the end my sister went for a customised magnum with rose petals, gold nuggets and nuts. It was alright. I would probably be just as happy with a normal Magnum. That’s why when I was told it was RM9.90, I knew that would be my last visit.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Magnums; I used to eat them for breakfast in my uni days. But I can’t help but feel it is just another a profit generating enterprise by the group that owns Magnum.

«I scream for ice-​cream!»
The craze over the Magnum ice-​cream has finally gotten to me as I was strolling along Mid Valley.
When it first opened, there was always a long queue but today, it was different. I was reluctantly at first to step in but I told myself why not since it would be something worth experiencing. Customized your own ice-​cream, what a wow factor ain’t it?
I stepped into the ice-​cream café and was asked to queue up, I felt lost and misguided on where to line up and how to place an order.
The lady at the cashier was not helping the situation, I tried asking her what is the process of ordering like and all she did was to charged me RM9.90 for a customized ice-​cream. I paid her the money and went onto choose my ice-​cream and its toppings.
I chose Vanilla with 3 toppings consisting of cookie chips biscuit pieces, oreos and pretzels pieces, coated in dark chocolate. Yes, you can only choose three toppings. And it is not like the ice-​cream is fully covered by the toppings.
I asked myself if this ice-​cream was really worth the money, I looked deep at it and decided Magnum Café is overrated and if I have craving for gourmet ice-​cream, I would not think of this as my first choice.

The Magnum Café has been roping in buckets of customers ever since it first opened its doors to a swarming crowd, with the Make My Magnum option which allows visiting customers to customize their very own magnum ice cream being the main draw. From choosing a vanilla or chocolate coating, all the way to your choice of topping such as almonds or raspberries, this added touch of personalization comes at a steep price though. With thousands of possible combinations possible based on the toppings available, it certainly is an exciting prospect to be able to create something on an epic scale of deliciousness and being able to take pride in knowing you single handedly produced something on your own. However, if you’d rather stick with the tried and tested, you can also order any of Magnum’s pre designed ice cream creations from its menu.

Following the ice cream trend that swept the nation, Magnum officially opened its shop in Midvalley, and has garnered a lot of attention as a result of the popularity of its branded name.
For what it is worth, Magnum hits the nail right off the wall with this new café. A variety of combos, from potato chips to berries, can be customized on your Magnum ice cream, and is usually very tasty, depending on the type of ingredients you put on top of it. It is, however, a burn in your pocket; a modified Magnum ice cream usually costs around RM9.90, and with the normal one already costing around RM4.90, give or take, it seemed redundant to just sprinkle several ‘high quality’ toppings and make it taste good.
The café also provides a variety of hot dishes, usually Western based dishes. The almond crusted fries with a chocolate dipping are a weird combination nonetheless, but an obligatory must-​try if you are a foodie and is, of course, a no-​no after the first try. It is not the most tasty of dishes, and is definitely not the type of fry-​dipping combination you will ever try in your life.
With the popularity diminishing from the shop, it is easier to purchase the modified ice cream now, and is easy to access for anyone who wants a taste of heavy Instagram and Facebook likes in the respective social networks.
