What makes this Sanrio takeover a must-visit in Sentosa?
The first highlight of the kawaii takeover is a vibrant retail space known as Superstar Boutique.

The menu is entirely character-driven featuring playful yet premium creations like the Hello Kitty Strawberry Delight, the Kuromi Black Sesame & Vanilla Swiss Roll, and an assortment of flavoured bombolones. To wash it all down, you can sip on a refreshing My Melody Popping Lemon Fizz or grab a cosy character-branded latte served in custom themed cups.
This iconic Sanrio destination is currently open to the public and operates daily from 10am to 7pm. The cafe and store are the perfect pit stop between thrilling rides and a day of fun on Sentosa Island.
