We guess that Miffy had seen how much fun her Japanese friends (Hello Kitty, Gudetama, and Cinnamonroll) had on our sunny island via their IG stories. That’s why, she decided to hop her way here from Dutch, and set up a café dedicated to herself at Jalan Klapa.

Calories Saving Tips
Put Your Fork Down Between Bites

Grab hold of yourself! As much as we know much you want to devour the adorable dishes, slow down. Put your fork down between each bite. Take time to savour each bite, before taking another bite. If you slow down, when your body says, “Hey, I’m full,” you will actually be able to hear it.
Enhance Your Satiety
Wanting to eat more and feel satisfied without the extra calories? Then request for a bigger portion of salad (without sauces). The fibre from the vegetables, bulk up your food and increases your feeling of fullness. The best thing is, vegetables are of low energy density, meaning you get more food for fewer calories.
Recruit Your Squad
We know how much you want to gobble the mains down all by yourself. But hang on! Take a lead from the various carpooling services, share the heavy calorie fee portion of dishes with your squad.

Be prepared to spend at least $10 per person, and that you might be asked to leave after 90 minutes as the cafe expects a huge crowd.
