Now there is a place where you can take seriously Instagram/Facebook-worthy photos and have some desserts while you are posing and posting up a storm. Introducing Malaysia’s very first Malaysian desserts themed “Selfie Museum” which opens its doors to the public at Fahrenheit 88 today. The official opening/launch was a few days ago.
“We’re excited to launch the first-ever “Selfie Museum” at the very heart of Kuala Lumpur with our esteemed partners. The museum showcases 9 rooms filled with larger than life dessert themed sculptures for a fun-filled Instagram photo-taking day out. Visitors will be receiving a total of 5 free desserts; Sirap cupcakes, Baskin Robbins ice cream, Pisang tarts, TeaLive bubble tea amongst others. It’s something new in Malaysia and the inspiration behind this is to allow Malaysians to experience a multi-sensorial journey from sight, touch to taste. We hope to bring Malaysians from all walks of life together to create special moments and memories.” said Sean Tan, Director of the Selfie Museum.
