HK's Hello Kitty Restaurant sells cuteness

For discriminating foodies, the dimsum fare at Hong Kong's Hello Kitty Cafe along Canton Road in Tsim Sha Tsui District will probably be rated average. However, there is another reason diners go out of their way to visit the restaurant....

The cute cat is famous and has been a part of the childhood of many diners.

Oops, a news report says that Hello Kitty is not a cat, but that's another story:

The small restaurant features Hello Kitty decors at every turn.

Even the paintings look like Hello Kitty and the chop is signed Hello Kitty.

Hello Kitty Custard Bun is popular with kids.

This Hello Kitty Shrimp Dumpling looks a bit tired of being cute.

Hello Kitty Ribbon Dumpling has minced meat inside.

The Hello Kitty menu also includes tea service.

Right beside the restaurant is a store to buy Hello Kitty mementos.

A ten percent discount is given to diners who show their paid restaurant bill.

Even among millennial kids who didn't grow up with Hello Kitty, the character's cuteness eventually ends up making up for the cuisine's somewhat ordinary flavors.

The restaurant is accessible from the MTR Jordan C2 Exit, if you don't mind a little walking.
