For the eighth year running, Pokémon fans can treat their taste buds to sweet delights themed after the beloved franchise. Mister Donut has revealed the latest designs and merchandise for its upcoming annual collaboration, with the fifth-generation Foongus coming in as the featured creature alongside mascot Pikachu.

The collaboration will launch on 5 November in Japan, accompanied by the catchphrase “tamage ta, which translates roughly to “it’s amazing!”, and is a play on the critter’s Japanese name, Tamagatake. The Grass/Poison-type debuted in Pokémon Black & White, and follows in the footsteps of 2020’s Chansey, Eevee (2021), Jigglypuff and Snow Pikachu (2022), Psyduck (2023), and Diglett (2024) as the headliner.

Here’s the full lineup of the menu offerings:

• Fluffy Pikachu Donut (¥341 / S$2.90): a fluffy yeast doughnut filled with whipped cream and topped with custard-flavored flakes and chocolate crunch.
• Amazing Tamagetake Donut (¥341 / S$2.90): a cake doughnut coated with white chocolate and strawberry chocolate, sitting on top of a whipped cream-filled choux pastry glazed in white chocolate.
• Crunchy Pikachu Tail Donut (¥264 / S$2.25): choux pastry coated in white chocolate and yellow crunchy toppings and a pick (not edible) Pikachu tail decoration.
• Amazing Mimikkyu Chocolate Donut (¥231 / S$1.97): a chocolate cake doughnut, filled with custard and whipped cream, and served in a special Mimikyu-themed sleeve.
• Voltorb Donut White (¥226 / S$1.92): cake doughnut sandwiched with custard and whipped cream and covered in white chocolate.

Additionally, the Mister Donut and Pokémon tie-up will offer exclusive merchandise available through two special bundles — the regular goods set (¥2,114 / S$18) and the children’s set (¥1,100 / S$9.37). The former includes two doughnuts of your choice from the collection, one of the outlet’s flagship Pon de Ring doughnuts and your choice of blanket pattern, all wrapped in an original Pokémon paper bag.

As for the latter, the combo comes with one Pokémon doughnut, one Pon de Ring, and a 9cm-tall Pokémon glass packaged in an original paper bag.

The new Pokémon collaboration doughnuts will be available at Mister Donut outlets across Japan starting 5 November until late December, and the goods sets are up for grabs while supplies last.

For those who’ve been around, Aniplus Café has become a familiar sight along the Annexe stretch of Esplande Mall, but that’ll no longer be the case. Now situated within the mall itself, it offers an expanded new space for the first time in six years, launching alongside a new official Haikyu!! collaboration – the first of its kind in Singapore.

The excitement kicks in before visitors step into the café, with standees of popular characters like Hinata, Kageyama, Tsukishima, Oikawa, Kenma, and Kuroo lining the exterior, and the much-loved Bokuto-Akaashi pair greeting them at the entrance. Unlike before, the merchandise area is tucked away from the dining premises in a dedicated spot, while a row of gacha machines presents an opportunity to tempt luck.

On the inside, themed décor adorns the tables and pillars, joining two larger-scale installations that pay homage to the franchise – one featuring a net and the Miya brothers, Atsumu and Osamu, and another set up like a court, complete with a scoreboard flipper and a giant display showcasing the various trailers and iconic moments over the years. Keep your eyes peeled, and there’s even a neat reference to Hinata’s highest jump reach (fans can take on the jump challenge and see how they fare against the Ultimate Decoy!).

As the hunger pangs set in, it’s time to dig in. The Aniplus Café x Haikyu!! collaboration assigns each of the five major school teams to its menu offerings, starting with drinks priced at S$9 each: Mango Citrus Punch (Karasuno), Apple Berry Ade (Nekoma), Melon Soda Float (Aoba Johsai), Brown Sugar Hojiacha Latte (Furkurodani), and Blackcurrant Lychee Float (Inarizaki).

The main dishes – the names of which are a direct reference to the slogan of the respective school team – and desserts are also paired up accordingly, with Tangerine French Toast (S$19) and “Fly” Curry Omurice (S$21) representing Karasuno, alongside the following:

• Nekoma: Pudding Parfait (S$19) / “Connect” Sanma Takikomi Gohan (S$21)
• Aoba Johsai: Fruit Sando (S$19) / “Rule the Court” Broccoli Pesto Past (S$21)
• Fukurodani: Pistachio Pancakes (S$19) / “One Ball, Heart and Soul” Yakiniku Rice Bowl (S$22.50)
• Inarizaki: Cranberry Mochi Parfait (S$19) / “We Don’t Need Memories” Kitsune Udon Meal (S$22.50)

Each purchase of a collab main or dessert includes one random acrylic coaster out of 11 designs, while drink orders come with one random memorial card out of 10 designs. For those looking to buy more merchandise, there will be exclusive offerings available, including Café Original SD character illustrations.

Rounding out the Aniplus Café x Haikyu!! experience is a meet-and-greet with the bird mascots of Hinata and Kageyama, known affectively as Hinagarasu and Kagegarasu, on 25 and 26 October. Additionally, a scavenger hunt will run from 24 October to 13 November, inviting fans to locate various mini-sized secret objects hidden within the store and win Aniplus Café vouchers and exclusive merchandise.

The collaboration is happening now till 18 December.

For anime and video game aficionados in Singapore, there’s no more familiar name than La Tendo. The retail store in Suntec City Mall has grown into a crowd favourite with its wide range of merchandise, including action figures, model kits, can badges, and more, that seeks to satisfy different interests and niches.

Now, the brand is setting its sights on a new expansion effort: food. Enter its first anime collaboration café, Dimension Poptown Café, complete with a new theme for every cycle. But there’s a catch – the menu is entirely vegetarian-friendly, and its Heaven Official’s Blessing opener tie-up offered a promising taste of its future.

While collaboration cafés have traditionally focused on experience over food quality, the cosy space, surprisingly enough, features a balance of both. A queue could be seen on its opening day, 25 July, with a cutout of Hua Cheng and Xie Lian greeting fans at the entrance. The merchandise area is nestled behind, where coasters, acrylic stands, prints, blind bag badges, and more can be purchased.

Along the way, posters and key visuals of the pair adorn the walls and tables, as visitors are ushered to their seats. Food orders are placed at the front counter, and once done, all that’s left is to wait for the dishes to arrive.

In any case, there won’t be a shortage of visual appeal. Most, if not all, of the menu items bear traces of red/black and white/gold – the main colours of Hua Cheng and Xie Lian, respectively – with the contrast adding to the striking look. Each purchase includes exclusive collaboration merchandise, categorised by the type of food: placemats for the main-course dishes, photo cards for desserts, and acrylic coasters for refreshments.

Drinks are priced at S$9 each, coming up to six in total: Fragrance of the Frost (passionfruit with probiotics soda), Elation (mixed berries soda), Golden Elixir of the Osmanthus (honey osmanthus), Dew of the Roselle (rose mixed berry soda), Pure Nectar of the Immortal (mango coconut milk), and Snow-capped Plum Blossoms (strawberry milk foam).

As for the remaining dishes, here are the details:

• Main Dishes (S$24 each)
  • Rendezvous of Sun and Moon: Taro with Golden Mushroom and Konjac Soy Meat, served with Red Rice Roll
  • Match Made in Heaven: Soya meat pieces with green and red peppers, served with Chinese yam, Lily Bulb Soya Milk and Oat
  • Fluttering Amongst the Flowers: Egg crepe, served with cherries
• Desserts (S$26 each)
  • Beneath the Peach Tree: Fluffy shaved ice with strawberry
  • Token of Trust: Donut cakes, served with vanilla and strawberry ice cream
  • Wishing Lanterns atop the Cityscape: Maple Leaf Cake, served with Flower Mousse

The entire lineup was a surprise delight for the taste buds, leaving nothing but satisfaction in its wake. Alongside Rendezvous of Sun and Moon, or more specifically, the red rice roll, the standouts for the other two series are Beneath the Peach Tree, which impressed with a light yet sweet taste profile, and the tooth-shaped Elation, striking a balance between effervescence and fruity tones.

The La Tendo X Dimension Poptown anime café collaboration with Heaven’s Official Blessing is underway at 3 Temasek Blvd, #03-347, Singapore 038983.

It’s been two years since Honkai: Star Rail took players on a cosmic journey, and LiHO Singapore looks to celebrate the milestone in style. Following a successful tie-up last year, the collaboration is back to mark the game’s second anniversary — this time with the Sterallon Hunters in the spotlight.

Titled “Flavour of Memories”, it features the sextet of Silver Wolf, Firefly, Stelle / Caelus (otherwise known as the Trailblazer), Kafka, and Blade, four of whom lead the designs for the character cups. Two limited-edition drinks are now available on the menu: Lychee Rose Da Hong Pao Milk Tea with Coconut Jelly, sporting a “deep, roasted complexity of oolong tea” and “smooth, smoky richness with layers of fruity-floral charm”, and Lychee Rose Jing Syuan with Coconut Jelly, which adds “a slightly roasted undertone” to “fragrant rose notes and the natural sweetness of lychee”.

Capcom’s long-running Monster Hunter series has always brought giant, daunting beasts into focus (it’s in the name, after all), but food is also integral to the core experience. Cooking meals prepares players for the many hunts to come, granting them stat buffs and increased elemental resistance.

In Monster Hunter Wilds, the lack of a canteen means all the work is done on the Portable BBQ Grill or from the base and pop-up camps, with one particular animated cutscene bringing attention to cheese naan, causing sales and demand in Japan to skyrocket.

While the oven-baked flatbread won’t be available for the franchise’s first restaurant collaboration in Singapore, fans can look forward to a limited-time sushi menu and exclusive merchandise starting today, 2 April 2025. The Monster Hunter X Sushiro tie-in will run for seven weeks across all 13 outlets nationwide, held in celebration of the game’s recent launch.

The event spans two waves — the first from 2 to 20 April, and the next from 21 April to 18 May, each featuring a different set of designs. During this period, the Suntec City and Taste Orchard outlets will be decked out in themed decor, from tables adorned with poster art depicting the various eras of the series and life-size standees to visuals of weapons, monsters, and staple elements like the ever-trusty Palico.

As for the special food menu, details for all three dishes are as follows:

• Thick Cut Southern Bluefin Tuna 6 Way (S$19): Rich, umami flavours of tuna sushi done in 6 different ways. Comes with a random silicon keychain.
• MonHun Specialist Chicken Drumstick (S$5): Juicy chicken leg that mimics the Master Rank Hammer weapon, Juicy Well-done Hammer, obtainable from an in-game quest.
• MonHun Dual Blade Pork (S$3.50): Tender pork fillet in the shape of the fastest-hitting weapon in the game, Dual Blades.

The culinary offerings come with a food pick, available in 14 designs, with other exclusive offerings including random silicon keychains packed into blind bags, smartphone cross-body straps, and a chicken drumstick plushie. Customers who spend a minimum of S$20 can purchase up to two cross-body straps (S$10.90 each) during Wave 1 (2 to 20 April) that pay tribute to Jin Dahaad, Yian Kut-Ku, and Arkveld, the flagship monster of Monster Hunter Wilds.

Meanwhile, every order of the Thick Cut Southern Bluefin Tuna 6 Way includes one free silicon keychain (five designs for each wave). The chicken drumstick plushie (S$15.90) is the first offering of its kind, available for purchase with a minimum spending of $S20 in a single receipt.

The Monster Hunter X Sushiro collaboration will bring a fusion of flavour and adventure to Singapore from 21 April to 18 May.

KFC is kicking off 2025 on a strong note. In celebration of the upcoming Lunar “Mew” Year, the fried chicken restaurant is joining forces with popular Japanese illustration series mofusand for a meow-vellous collaboration, marking the first time a fast-food chain in Singapore has launched an official partnership with the costume-wearing feline character.

Starting 13 January 2025, fans will be able to get their hands on themed collectibles and merchandise with every purchase of any KFC cereal chicken box or cereal chicken burger box, including red packets, plushie keychains, and an eight-inch plush. Expect two different designs for the red packets from 13 January to 18 February, alongside three variations for the four-inch keychains to be rolled out in consecutive weeks as follows:

• Week 1 (Bucket): Available from 13 January
• Week 2 (Egg Tart): Available from 20 January
• Week 3 (Drumstick): Available from 27 January

Meanwhile, the KFC x mofusand Blind Sticker Pack comes free with a minimum spend of S$12 in a single receipt. There’s a catch, however — it can only be redeemed for breakfast purchases, with three designs up for grabs from 13 January to 11 February.

The star of the collaboration, the eight-inch KFC Bucket mofusand Plush will undoubtedly garner the most hype when it drops on 5 February. Limited to one per customer, it puts the adorable kitten in a bucket hat and a red ribbon reminiscent of Colonel Sanders’ signature bowtie, and is set to retail at S$19.95. Unlike the restof the collection, the limited-edition toy is only stocked in 10 outlets: Kallang, West Mall, Tampines Mall, Causeway Point, VivoCity, NEX, Jurong Point, Lot 1, Compass One, and Northpoint City.

At the same time, the fast-food chain is also bringing back its seasonal fan favourites, starting with the KFC Chicken Skin in original (S$4.95) and spicy (S$5.45) flavours from 2 to 18 January. The KFC Cereal Chicken will follow after, going on sale from 8 January to 18 February alongside the new Cereal Chicken Burger — “a Zinger fillet coated in buttery cereal goodness sits between soft brioche buns with cheese and mayo.”

The vibrant buzz of the Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage! collaboration has taken over Singapore’s Aniplus Café, and fans of Project Sekai are in for an unforgettable experience.

As you step into the café, you’re instantly immersed in the world of Sekai, surrounded by themed décor inspired by the game’s six unique units: Virtual Singer, Leo/need, MORE MORE JUMP!, Vivid BAD SQUAD, Wonderlands x Showtime, and Nightcord at 25:00. The décor also includes an impressive anniversary illustration and delightful chibi lightboxes that add a playful touch. It’s a visual feast that invites you to snap countless photos to commemorate your visit.

Of course, no visit to a themed cafe is complete without sampling the themed delights. The Nightcord at 25:00 Tuna Mayo Sandwich (S$20), served on charcoal bread with purple lettuce and fresh tomato, delivered a tasty mix of textures. Equally delightful was the Wonderlands x Showtime Wonderhoy! Meal (S$20), where the omurice’s fluffy egg wrapped around savoury rice paired nicely with the smiley hash browns that brought an extra dose of cheer to the plate.

For those with a sweet tooth, the Vivid BAD SQUAD Weekend Garage Specialty (S$18) stands out. A stack of fluffy buttermilk pancakes adorned with blueberries, whipped cream, and splatter art plating feels almost too pretty to eat. Almost. Another sweet highlight was the Leo/need Blue Macaron Parfait (S$17), which stood out with its layers of Oreo biscuit, yoghurt, jelly, and granola topped by a bright blue macaron.

To quench your thirst, the Leo/need Blue Lychee Ade (S$8) is a refreshing, vibrant choice, while the Vivid BAD SQUAD Butterfly Pea Orange Ade (S$8) offers a striking blend of flavours and colours. Each drink complemented the mains and desserts well, rounding out a curated menu that honours the uniqueness of each unit.

The menu boasts other tempting options like MORE MORE JUMP!’s Pesto Pasta (S$20), VIRTUAL SINGER’s Dessert Time with SEKAI! chocolate cake (S$18), and a variety of other themed drinks including VIRTUAL SINGER’s Vanilla sprinkle shake (S$9), MORE MORE JUMP!’s Matcha latte (S$9), Nightcord at 25:00’s Wonderlands x Showtime’s Grape soda with grass jelly (S$8), and Honey lemon ade (S$8).

The exclusive merchandise line-up is another highlight of the collaboration. Fans can pick up limited-edition Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage! goods, including bookmarks and stickers featuring 26 designs, as part of a premium giveaway. With every S$15 spent on merchandise, you’ll receive a collectible sticker (given at random), and for S$30, you’ll get a bookmark (also given at random). The collaboration even includes a stamp rally event, where you can earn a lenticular card by sharing your café experience on social media.

The excitement doesn’t stop with food and collectibles. The café hosts a game challenge event where fans can test their skills on EXPERT mode in the Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage! game. Spending S$30 on merchandise grants you a chance to play, and achieving a Full Combo rewards you with a random bookmark from a collectible set. It’s a fun way to bring the game to life and celebrate its dynamic, music-driven world.

Running from 13 December 2024 to 20 February 2025, this limited-time collaboration is a must-visit for fans of the Hatsune Miku franchise. With delicious themed dishes, exclusive merchandise, and the chance to dive into the Project Sekai universe, the Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage! x ANIPLUS Café delivers on every front.

Reservations are filling up fast, so be sure to secure your spot on the Aniplus website, or head over to their social media page for more information.

Food is the way to the heart, and Honkai: Star Rail fans can look forward to a hearty spice-infused feast this September. Hot on the heels of a tie-up with bubble tea chain LiHo, the popular gacha title has announced yet another collaboration in Singapore, this time featuring hotpot brand Gong Yuan Ma La Tang.

Taking place islandwide from 10 September to 9 October, the event is centred around the game’s latest two characters, Jiaoqiu and Feixiao, serving as an apt reference to the former’s character lore. In it, Jiaoqiu is introduced as a skilled practitioner of alchemical prescription, which views food as medicine, especially those that induce a sensation of spiciness. 

The Funan Mall and Suntec City outlets, in particular, will boast a themed interior spanning character banners, wall and table decorations, and various collaboration visuals. An exclusive disposable table mat is included by default with each order, featuring Jiaoqiu or Feixiao in chibi form.

Customers who dine in at any outlet will also receive one random postcard after flashing their in-game account during payment. Invite at least one other player and dine in together to receive an additional poster (fixed design) each, with two limited edition stickers — out of four — awarded to those who post photos of in-store decorations on social media with the #HSRxGongYuan hashtag. Do note that a minimum order of 300 grams applies per bowl.

As part of the Honkai: Star Rail collaboration, Gong Yuan Ma La Tang has added a new soup base to the menu. The Szechuan Pepper Soup is lighter and more aromatic than the usual spicy, tongue-numbing fanfare, presenting a more palatable and balanced alternative for those with a lower spice tolerance.

The limited-time event coincides with the launch of the Version 2.5 update in Honkai: Star Rail, releasing 9 September. It will continue the next chapter of the mainline Xianzhou Luofu story and introduce three new character banners: Feixiao, Lingsha, and Moze.

Moviegoers and collectors have a new reason to get excited with the release of Deadpool & Wolverine — two new popcorn buckets themed after characters from the film are hitting select theatres. These collectible items are becoming a major draw as fans increasingly look forward to these unique mementos with every major film release.

The popularity of themed popcorn buckets has surged in 2024, starting notably with a sandworm-inspired bucket for Dune: Part Two. With each subsequent blockbuster, the fervour for these collectibles has only intensified. Now, AMC Theaters and Cineworld are set to continue the trend with their latest offerings inspired by Deadpool & Wolverine.

Ryan Reynolds took to social media in March to unveil the initial design, which featured Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. This design cleverly incorporated Wolverine’s iconic mouth and cowl into the bucket’s structure. Building on this momentum, two additional designs have been introduced, each based on new characters from the Deadpool sequel.

The first of these new designs draws from Headpool, a Deadpool variant making his debut in the movie. This bucket, priced at US$39.99 and available at AMC Theaters, resembles a skeletal head sporting a tattered Deadpool mask and a whimsical propeller hat. According to a post on X/Twitter, this quirky design is already available globally, with sightings as far as Thailand.

The second design features Babypool, another Deadpool variant newcomer in the movie. This bucket depicts the character seated in a movie chair, complete with raised arms and a pacifier. Adjacent cup holders are humorously fitted with baby bottles. While pricing details remain undisclosed, this particular bucket is exclusive to Cineworld theaters.

These latest popcorn buckets are set to be available in conjunction with the theatrical release of Deadpool & Wolverine, which premieres on 25 July.

Can’t stand the wait for Deadpool & Wolverine to release? Well, a pop-up café is opening in Shibuya Tsutaya from 17 July to 5 August, offering fans a taste of their favourite anti-heroes.

The menu features a whole range of hilarious dishes, such as:

• I 2 Tier BFF Box, which features Deadpool-red chicken rice and Wolverine-yellow curry for 2,000 yen (S$17).
• I French Toast with Yellow Fruits & Ice Cream for 1,800 yen (S$15), which combines rich flavours with a touch of mutant charm.
• I Coca-Cola, which features two things Deadpool loves: Pocky swords and needless product placement.
• Claw Chips Yellow Juice, which is a quirky blend of potato chips, mango, whipped cream, and juice.
• Various alcoholic cocktails, for those who would like a little more kick with their meal.

Dining at the Deadpool & Wolverine café also enters you into a raffle for exclusive merch, including a necklace, T-shirt, button, or the mysterious Deadpool dollar. Additionally, all meals come with a free movie sticker, so don’t feel too bad if your IRL gacha luck is terrible.

Don’t miss the chance to dine with the dynamic duo at Shibuya Tsutaya Collaboration Café if you have the opportunity! Hopefully it can stave off the hunger we all have for the movie before it releases on in theatres on 25 July in Singapore and 26 July in the US. Do note that there’s an admission fee of 550 yen (S$4.67) for the Deadpool & Wolverine pop-up café, with meals served in blocks through the day at 11am, 1.10pm, 3.20pm, 5.30pm, and 7.40pm.
