Hello Kitty is seriously getting the biggest 40th birthday extravaganza in Los Angeles. This month, there's Hello Kitty Con, the largest retrospective on the iconic Sanrio cat and Hello Kitty-themed rooms at The Line hotel. And now, we can add a Hello Kitty food scavenger hunt to the list.
The L.A. Times reported that Sanrio is hosting a Hello Kitty Hunger Hunt throughout our city from October 24 to November 21. Eleven restaurants from downtown to the Westside will be offering special Hello Kitty-themed savory dishes, sweets, and drinks.
We're looking at fun items like a Hello Kitty bento box, pizza slices, sushi and ramen. Participating restaurants include Daikokuya, Plan Check, Lemonade, Seoul Sausage and Charm City Cakes, among others.
And with each of those kawaii food items, you'll also get collectible Hello Kitty pins depicting the adorable character noshing on the same goodies you're eating.
