Journeying With Hope: Hello Kitty Town

Hello Kitty Town

13 June, we went to Hello Kitty Town in JB.

Nadine had been bugging us to bring her there for the longest time. We haven't heard much good reviews about the place, but thought we'll go at least once, just to pacify Nadine.

By the time we arrived at Puteri Harbour Family Theme Park (which really isn't much of a theme park), it was lunch time. So we had lunch at Lat's Place, themed after the cartoon Lat.

The kids were more interested to explore the restaurant, with its kampong-style murals and displays, than eat.

When we finally got into Hello Kitty Town, Nadine went nuts. She was so excited. We started with the ultra-mini cup ride. It was so small that the cups couldn't spin individually, unlike the 'normal' cup rides in most theme parks. And it was so small and mild that Nadine dared to sit alone in a cup.

There were a few rooms for the kids to make cookies, jewellery and tokens. But there was really minimal craft work for the kids. For jewellery-making, the kids were just given a chain and a Hello Kitty pendant. The kids were supposed to string the pendant onto the chain. For cookie-making, they were given a Hello Kitty cookie to decorate.

While Nadine and I were trying out the various craft, Aaron watched the Hello Kitty and Friends performance. He lasted 10 minutes before asking to go and ride the Thomas and Friends train.

Nadine and I stayed on at Hello Kitty Town for maybe another half an hour. Just before we left for Little Big Club upstairs, we saw Hello Kitty, waiting for people to take photos with her.

At Little Big Club, Aaron had a lot of fun riding the train and playing at the indoor playground (that was way too dim for a playground). Nadine met Angelina Ballerina for the first time, and even joined in the dance class.
