[Food Review] Magnum Cafe, Mid Valley Megamall


The latest hype in town is none other than this Magnum Cafe, which just opened its door last Friday in Mid Valley Megamall. Being the first outlet here in Malaysia, there was a special event where the first 500 customers can get a free customized Make My Magnum ice cream and additional promotions. Since it falls on a working day, no one is free to accompany me for this ice cream craze hence Shini and I decided to go on the next day instead. Cheers for desserts! :P


Located at South Court, nearby Golden Screen Cinemas, you can see such a long queue formed right in front of Magnum Cafe since early morning.


We were so lucky that no one was queuing when we reach and immediately ushered to our seats upstairs. Usually the lower floor is for takeaway orders while upper floor is for dine in with more seating areas.



The star item on the Magnum Cafe's menu that people have sung praises is this customized Make My Magnum ice cream. Make My Magnum allows customers to DIY their own Magnum ice cream complete with coating, topping and drizzling. Upon arrival, you can see a huge station set up specially for Make My Magnum with a wide range of toppings and drizzles.


Some of the examples where you can choose for toppings such as almonds, freeze dried raspberries, rosemary, marshmallows, pistachio and etc.


As for coating and drizzles, there are three choices available: white chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate.


Jjang! And this is my customized Make My Magnum chocolate ice cream @ RM9.33 with milk chocolate coating, white and dark chocolate drizzles and toppings of marshmallows, Oreo cookies and golden chocolate balls.




Magnum Trifle @ RM25
As I've mentioned earlier, they have dine in menu as well offering desserts platter and main courses and this Magnum Trifle is one of them. Cashew meringue, mascarpone cream, honey balsamic cream served with white chocolate dipped vanilla magnum topped with freeze dried raspberries and fresh strawberries. definitely one great choice for those who prefer desserts with sour taste like yogurts.




Chicken & Salted Egg Spaghetti @ RM22
Malaysian-inspired pasta served with salted egg sauce crisp chicken, Asian pesto and chickarones. I did not try this but according to Shini, it's a little spicy but quite nice as she likes to eat salted egg. Also, the portion is quite small relatively to the price hence you may want to order something else if you're a big eater.


It was such an enjoyment dining at Magnum Cafe but I personally think it's overrated for a dessert like this. Instead of Make My Magnum ice cream, I would recommend you to go for desserts platter like Magnum Trifle as it's more special and tastes a whole lot nicer.

  9. Magnum is the just one of the best ice creams that has ever existed and for it to have a cafe is just tremendous. They really do make an effort to make every Magnum ice cream order a piece of art.

  10. There is also a magnum cafe here in the Philippines. Although I have not tried it yet, I did not see a trifle. I want to try that one.

  11. I went to the one in Singapore, perhaps I'm not really a fan of ice-cream, I thought they are really photo worthy, but overpriced for an ice-cream.

  16. OMG I haven't tried the Magnum ice cream because I thought it's too expensive just for desserts. But hey, all these looked delicious especially the Magnum Trifle.

  17. It's amazing how Magnum have improved their products. I've been a loyal Magnum consumer since I was 5 years old. In Papua New Guinea, they sold this in boxes with just the classic flavor. They did a great job marketing their product worldwide. :)

  18. I saw the outlet on Saturday. It was crowded. Personally think i will not go for that as it only add some topping on the ice cream which i can buy from many convenient stores. The price is much more cheaper than the magnum shop.

  19. Looks like the one in KL is consistent as the one in Manila! I also find that the dessert dishes are waaaaay better than the mains in the restaurant.

  22. Looks interesting, will try to find this when I visit Malaysia this August. Adding on my list. Haha So how was the taste? I'm not much of a sweet tooth but looking at your smiles, think you had a great time lavishing the sweets and the food. :D
