Hangyodon pop-up cafe now in Singapore, at Wong Fu Fu

Hangyodon-themed decor, dishes and drinks

Wong Fu Fu seems to have gone all out for its fishy guest, this time round. 

Besides themed art prints on its walls and a cosy photo corner, you’ll find plush Hangyodon stuffed toys at most tables to keep you company as you enjoy your meal.

Each tabletop is also decked out in the character’s signature blue hue and images of Hangyodon with his octopus best friend, Sayuri.

There’s also a small merch corner of various toys, blind boxes and collectibles.

Food-wise, there’s a small range of themed dishes and drinks to choose from: Eight snacks, three main courses, six drinks, and a dessert.

If you’re looking to take home a little memento of your visit, be sure to order Hangyodon’s chilled ramen (S$23.90), which comes with a free Hangyodon figurine and a soft felt cone for it to sit in (U.P. S$9.90)!

Not only does it come with a freebie, this seems to be the best choice for a refreshing bite — the chilled dish comes soaked in a fragrant dashi sauce, and a small mound of cucumber, egg strips, crab sticks and shimeji mushrooms atop it. 

There’s even a mini smoked duck salad on the side!

For something heartier, try Hangyodon’s Ocean Feast (S$24.90), which sees pearl rice shaped just like the character’s iconic head, infused with pea flower for that characteristic light blue colour. 

It sits within a creamy moat of seafood chowder, with bits of broccoli, narutomaki (fishcake), cherry tomatoes, and tomatoes as pops of colourful flotilla. 

The rice runs a little dry on its own, so we’d recommend mixing it all together thoroughly for a more satisfying bite.

Alongside it you also get a basket of fried seafood bites — prawn tempura, calamari rings, fish nuggets, et al — for protein, which we also dipped liberally into the chowder sauce.

The last main from the Hangyodon collection comes in the form of a mantou burger (S$21.90) — a handy, palm-sized beef patty and cheddar-cheese slice sandwiched between two lightly torched, steamed mantou buns. 

This makes for a great kid’s meal — and McDonald’s Twister fries fans will also love that it comes with a side of curly fries.

We did find the patty a tad dry, though.

A plant-based version of the burger is also available, in case beef isn’t quite your thing.

Round out the meal with a selection of finger food and snacks (from S$12.90), all of which come in cute themed paper box that you can take home, or the bubblegum-flavoured Hokkaido milk Swiss roll (S$14.90).

Wash these all down with a selection of drinks, including the ever-present Strawberry Field matcha latte (S$12.90).

Some of Wong Fu Fu’s signatures, such as its hotplate, Taiwan noodles, and bubble tea offerings, will still be available during this period, though they do not come with the above-mentioned freebies. 

Do note that Wong Fu Fu requires all diners to spend a minimum of S$20 (before service charge — Wong Fu Fu does not charge GST). 

Children aged under 12 years, between 95cm and 135cm in height or occupying a seat or baby chair, will need to order one kid’s meal or a snack.

The collaboration is slated to run until the second week of March, so head down while you still can!

This was a hosted tasting.
