Originated from Hong Kong, Magstore is an upscale supermarket that carries many international brands, especially tidbits as well as snacks from Nippon as well as Korea. It is the perfect house for those amongst deep pockets to shop; fanciful flavors of Pretz, Pocky tin also travel constitute in that place but at a premium toll tag. In Magstore (Gurney Paragon Mall), in that place are 2 sections worth exploring- Takoyaki/ Grilled Squid Corner as well as the Ice Cream Parlor. The setting is cramped amongst express tables as well as chairs; i volition discovery it hard to maneuver around the expanse if full. On our visit, the house was packed to the brim; it was a consummate chaos amongst no clear signage displayed. Visitors walked inward as well as joined the queue non knowing that they were required to pay earlier queuing for the food. More similar a catch as well as become house as well as non meant for hipsters to chill... expert novelty sense nevertheless.
Yoobi Ice Cream Thyme (Rm 11.50)
Yoobi Ice Cream Sakura (Rm 11.50)
Their Soft Serve amongst quirky flavors for sure attracted a huge crowd as well as unfortunately, nosotros had to bring together the relentless queue. There are seven flavors available- Bitter, Sour, Sweet, Spicy, Salty, "Love" as well as "Question Mark" but close of the base of operations flavors are fixed, what changes is the sprinkles of flavors. We had the mysterious flavour as well as it turned out to travel Thyme but it was confusingly genial. The sweetness Soft Serve has a milky flavour but it genuinely worked good amongst the spice- Thyme. In illustration you lot are wondering... those were crushed Cookies. The Sakura flavor, on the other hand, paled inward comparing amongst Thyme. Though the flavour did non look to travel equally playful but the Sakura flavour was subdued, equally though nosotros were having an ordinary Vanilla Soft Serve.
Korean Styled Grilled Squid (Rm 16.90/ advertisement toll similar a shot at Rm 12.90)
Takoyaki (Rm 9.90)
Over the grilling station, in that place are iii types of snacks available- Takoyaki (from Japan), Grilled Squid (from Korea) as well as Eggettes (from Hong Kong). The waiting fourth dimension was unbearable as well as they did non seem to cope the crowd effectively. We queued as well as waited for the Takoyaki but the staff did non calibrate as well as nosotros had to queue i time to a greater extent than for the Grilled Squid (we waited for to a greater extent than than twenty minutes if you lot must know). Takoyaki was disappointingly average, in all likelihood our expectation was higher for that toll tag. The pare was non equally crisp equally nosotros accept hoped as well as the flavour could travel to a greater extent than playful; they were no dissimilar from those constitute inward whatsoever other stalls. Grilled Squid has potential but the inexperienced staff over-sprinkled the Shichimi Togarashi pulverization (7 flavor- Chili powder) as well as the Squid was a tad also salty as well as hot for us but the texture was great, slightly resilient yet non also oil to the bite.
