Hi Huneybees,
So, what is the MAGNUM SINGAPORE Pleasure Store about?
A key and central element to all Magnum Pleasure Stores, including Singapore’s, is the experience of designing one’s very own Magnum. Starting with an uncoated vanilla Magnum, pleasure makers will take pleasure seekers on a unique six steps journey, where they can indulge the senses in the sights, sounds and smells of Magnum chocolate and ice cream in designing their very own Magnum.
On top of that, MAGNUM SINGAPORE Pleasure Store also serves up exquisite and sumptuous Magnum desserts and cocktails long into the night. The menu of remarkable pleasures includes beautiful Magnum dessert creations such as “A Midsummer’s Night Dream”, created from edible flower, assorted fizzy berries, white chocolate sheet and a Magnum.

Woohoo! Pleasure lovers, Ice Cream Fanatics! You are in for a treat! MAGNUM SINGAPORE Pleasure Store opened at Clarke Quay’s Central Fountain Square this weekend. It also coincided with the launch of the new Magnum Pink (Marc de Champagne) and Magnum Black (Espresso) – two decadent ice creams each reflecting the different, contrasting sides to our personalities; flirty and frivolous or sophisticated and elegant.
The party begin with drinks, canapes and a little mingling with photo taking opportunities. Some celebrities were also spotted amongst the crowd - Jack and Rai, The Muttons, Keagan Kang, Jade Seah, etc.
I was treated to a media preview inside the Pleasure Store before it was officially opened to public. Come on in and check it out...

Pleasure seekers can also have their very own Magnum creation seen through the Magnum Lookbook that has been specially created to allow digital capture and sharing of their unique designs online and at the store. My mum and I made our own creations and nothing beats eating something that was done by you. Agree??

We were also wow-ed by the couture dress - The Magnum Pink & Black Twitter Vote Dress, designed by fashion label, Cute Circuit. It was worn by Jaymee Ong.
Pleasure seekers also had the opportunity to play fashion designer for the night by influencing the colour and pattern of the Magnum Pink and Black Twitter Vote Dress in real-time. This beautiful couture dress was fitted with a layer of ‘intelligent fabric’ containing high-density LEDs which was simply controlled via an app which communicated Twitter votes #MakeitPink or # MakeitBlack to the dress. Their live tweets were collected via a Moodometer on stage which decided on the color and pattern of the dress.
“Designing and creating the Magnum Pink and Black Twitter Vote Dress has been a pleasure. The newly launched Magnum Pink and Magnum Black are designed to indulge the different sides of your personality at different moments; a key theme which we wanted to reflect in the dress itself. Now, for the first time ever, we have beautiful French chiffon gown which is the perfect, adaptable outfit; whether you’re in a flirty and expressive mood or are feeling sophisticated and elegant.” --- Francesca Rosella, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer, Cute Circuit

Yipee! Time to try the new flavours~
Babe and Hunk with indulgent ice cream. Yummy!
For those feeling fun and frivolous, the Magnum Pink, a pink Marc de Champagne ice cream coated with a premium pearlescent pink layer of crackling Magnum chocolate sauce, is the prefect indulgent treat to bring out the exuberant bubbly side. To match a more refined and elegant personality, the Magnum Black, containing intense black espresso coffee swirled in a smooth, creamy vanilla ice cream that is covered in the signature thick layer of crackling dark Magnum chocolate, is simply delectably decadent.
Thank you MAGNUM for the pleasurable journey!
