A pop-up Pokemon Cafe recently opened in Singapore on May 27, which gave rise to Hello Kitty levels of queuing.

Here is what the queue looked liked 30 minutes before Pokemon Cafe even opened.

At its peak, the queue stretched out to more than 5 hours.

According to a Hardwarezone thread -[GPGT] Paid $80 for this pokemon meal ~~ Queue time : 3hrs - if you successfully waited out the ever lengthening queue, here's what your patience and nearly $100 will get you.

This is the original post.

However, later on in the thread, another Hardwarezone forum user, claiming to be the one who took the picture, had this to say about the photo.

According to Daniel's Food Diary, the plate of Pikachu Smiling Rice with Magma Sauce! will set you back $25.

Regardless, the feedback on the forum to this pricing was unsurprising.

With some even seeing it as an inspiration for their own enterprise.
