Located at the The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, the cafe cum retail shop is a homage to the super heroes we know so well. The owner is a big fan of the comics and it shows in the decor.
For the recent movie, ‘Batman vs Superman’, the cafe was very much involved in the premiere and launched a completely new menu just for the tie-in.

At first glance, I had nearly had a heart attack when I saw at the prices. But looking at the ginormous portion as well as the ingredients, I guess it is not that expensive. Afterall, wagyu beef is premium beef. The burger can be easily shared between 2 people (or 3, if the party are small eaters). Personally, I feel that wagyu beef should be eaten as a steak so that you can savour and get the full flavour. But the rest of the people at my table were chomping away so I guess it’s just me.
I like the free range chicken burger but I have to be honest. This has all my favourites. Chicken, egg, guacamole, jalapeo. Most time, I can never taste the difference between free range chicken and normal chicken. But in this case, I can actually taste the difference. It is more flavourful and juicy. Different from usual farmed chicken. And the peanut butter was a nice touch with that lingering nutty flavour.
I also liked the simplicity of Crevettes Carbonara which was creamy without being overwhelming. The fresh prawns and the egg complimented each other every well. I would never have thought of putting egg in a creamy sauce.
This special menu ends at the end of this month. But frankly, I think this is a good place to check out if you are at MBS, especially if you have children in tow. The number of times we had to crack our head on dining options when we were there with my girl was painful.
The place is divided into 3 sections. The main restaurant with good, spacious eating area for familes and group of friends.
There is a small cafe with intimate seating arrangement for those who just want have a drink or snack.
And then there is the retail section with lots of merchandise and even more photo opportunities (the Batwoman with the vroom vroom car was fatastic).
But if you have young children who are crazy over cuddly soft toys like mine, steer them away from these.
For me, these were the most interesting pieces around. ^^
