A
restaurant in Hong Kong now offers Hello Kitty dim sum. The famous Kitty who
creators once claimed is not a cat now appears as delectable dim sum fare for
die-hard fans.
The
Hello Kitty motif is present on several selections of the menu. After being impressed
by the cuteness of it all, diners can then chomp down on their dim sum.
In a CNN report, the restaurant’s
attention to detail at this place is “staggering”. The restaurant has been in
the works for a year and a half, and everything -- from the decor to the food
-- had to be approved by Sanrio, the Japanese company that owns the Hello Kitty
brand.
Some dishes took as many as seven tries
before Sanrio green-lighted the final recipe. So that mouthful took a lot of
work!
