Disney Naturally - Halal Themed Restaurant



Though it was opened a few months back,I was only in on the news yesterday-thanks to a good friend,who incidentally adores Disneyland and whom I ventured with many years ago when we were still single (and much younger!).We had a great time in Disneyland California and this simply brings us back fun-filled memories!



Disney Naturally is apparently the first Disney food and beverage store outside a Disneyland Park.It promises healthy,tasty (and halal!) and a magical experience for all fans,regardless of their age.It's located at Anchorpoint Shopping Mall,370 Alexandra Road #01-05/06 (opposite Ikea).Opening hours :11am to 10pm.This is an excerpt from their site :

It’s the place where the kids are in charge, great for families to meet and share, or youngsters to hang out and watch a Disney movie. It’s a place to order our famous Mickey head shaped pizzas with pizza crusts full of healthy spinach. Drinks include Prince Charming Kiss – a strawberry and mango fruit blend drink; moo moo shakes rich in calcium enriched milk and Disney Juizz and Disney themed ice cream cakes. Check out our in store monitors for daily specials including a choice of healthy soups and pastas. All our food and beverages products conform to Disney’s published nutritional guidelines.

There are Disney movie screenings (the movie schedule is displayed at the storefront) and fancy game sheets for kids to engage in.The restaurant is decked with life-sized statues of the famous Disney characters-Mickey,Donald and Goofy.Not only the seats are shaped like mickey's head....



....even the pizzas too!



Fancy names for the pizzas....

  • mickey’s classic
  • daisy's garden
  • donald's legend
  • minnie's secret
  • pete's pan
  • pino's fancy

They serve mainly pizzas,soups,ice-cream,fruit blends and juices.Some patrons may find the prices for the food a bit on the high side,but I guess you have to 'pay' for the ambience too,eh?Other comments that I came across were that the food were pre-cooked and microwaved before serving (that won't taste good if this is true) and some were thoroughly disappointed with the taste.

While some enjoyed bringing their kids here (and others hated it),I guess I have to venture to this Disney themed-restaurant to give my two cents worth....though I'm already a tad biased as I'm sure it's not close to being at Disney's Restaurant in Disneyland itself.....
