Marking 50 years of Hello Kitty


It is, I am reliably informed, the 50th birthday of Hello Kitty.

To mark this momentus occasion, Melbourne's Chadstone precinct will welcome a bespoke, pop-up Hello Kitty Café.

Apparently, Hello Kitty is a much loved character created by someone called Sanrio.

Fans, foodies, and pop culture enthusiasts young and old are being invited to join to the Melbourne centre for celebrations that will include an installation by prominent street artist Sofles, limited-edition merchandise, and a "dopamine-inducing" school holidays program.

I am clearly not the demographic.

The celebrations will be presented in collaboration with Sanrio and the Hello Kitty Café will welcome visitors from 10am on Friday, September.20 - that's next week.

Located within The Social Quarter at Chadstone, the kawaii café will present a menu inspired by Hello Kitty's favourite foods. Diners can expect strawberry sandwiches, themed bento boxes, strawberry iced matcha lattes, cakes, cookies, and coffees. 

Definitely not the demographic. Bookings are available only via Chadstone.com.au.

Hotel Chadstone Melbourne M Gallery By Sofitel is offering a limited accommodation package in celebration of the 50th anniversary.

From $387 per night, Hotel Chadstone's Hello Kitty package provides overnight accommodation for two adults and up to two children inclusive of breakfast and a merchandise pack comprising a Hello Kitty tote bag, cap, and mug.

Altus Rooftop Bar at Hotel Chadstone will run Hello Kitty High Tea from Thursday to Sunday weekly from September 20 to October 20. The menu offers Hello Kitty-themed savoury and sweet treats with packages starting at $85 per adult and $45 per child.

The Hello Kitty festivities at Chadstone will underpin a popular school holiday program with a dedicated kids precinct.
