THE first Magnum Café in the country has generated quite a buzz and long queues as customers have come to create their own customised ice-cream.
Magnum Bandar Seri Begawan, located on the ground floor of Citis Square in Berakas, was officially launched on December 1.
Magnum is owned by the British-Dutch Unilever Company, which was launched in Sweden back in 1989.
It was the first handheld ice-cream and marketed as a premium product for adults.
The original Magnum (later rebranded as Magnum Classic) consisted of a thick bar of vanilla ice-cream on a stick, with real chocolate coating.

Today, Magnum is one of the world’s leading ice-cream brands with sales of up to one billion units annually worldwide.
Its ice-cream bars are made from the finest ingredients – silky ice-cream and thick Belgian chocolate.
Magnum has also successfully opened outlets in about 15 cities all over the world, including Malaysia, Indonesia and now here in Brunei.
The ‘Make-my-Magnum’ bar was designed as the ultimate customisable ice-cream experience, whereby customers can make their own Magnum bars by choosing from and adding various toppings.
‘Make-my-Magnum’ also enables customers to design their own ice-cream by creating a unique flavour combination with up to three delicious toppings from the 18 ingredients made available.
These topping are then paired up with a silky classic vanilla ice-cream bar or a chocolate brownie Magnum ice-cream as well as a choice of the finest coating – milk, dark, or white – which are made with Belgian chocolate.
From the sweet taste of marshmallows, the nutty crunch of pistachios and the exotic flavour of Goji berries – the choice is yours, and the price for the ‘Make-my-Magnum’ ice-cream is also affordable – only $5 per stick.
Additionally, there is a whole selection of Magnum desserts and hot items that customers can choose from.
They are worth a try if you wish to taste something different.
The establishment looks very trendy with its elegant deco and wonderful ambience.
