Maid cafe

Have you heard of the popular maid cafes in Akihabara, Tokyo, Japan; such as cure, @home, and maidreamin? Don’t you just wish to visit one of those maid cafes? Because I myself dream of visiting a maid cafe in Japan! Perhaps, butler cafes too.

Maid Cafe, a very popular concept restaurant founded in Japan, is making its way to Malaysia’s shores, starting with the restaurant called Tenshi No Cafe at e@Curve. Being a sub-category of theme restaurants, a Maid Cafe features waitresses who are dressed like maids, in particular, French maids. Their job is to act as servants to please the patrons of the restaurants, also known as their masters/mistresses. At Tenshi, when customers arrive, they are supposed to be treated as if they have returned home, with the maids at their disposal. I have to say this is a pretty interesting concept, although I am not sure of how the idea would be accepted by the general public.

Last Wednesday, me and Jeffney had the opportunity to visit Tenshi No Cafe, and were pleasantly surprised by the kind and warm attention given by the 3 cute maids on duty that day. What makes a maid cafe stand out from the rest of the restaurants is the services they offer, apart from food! Don’t get me wrong, by services, I meant the following:

1. A Polaroid photo with the maid of your choice – RM8
2. A round of conventional games / PlayStation 3 with the maid (max. 5 minutes) – RM5
3. Spoon-feed by the maid – RM3 for 3 spoons

So does this tickle your fancy?  It’s really out of your imagination. The environment of the restaurant was largely pink and white, with a spacious area decorated with lots of Japanese figurines.

Since it was our first visit been there, we were shown the 10 commandments of Maid Cafe. Reading some of them was really amusing! But most importantly, they practice a strict policy of no photographing of the maid, and no interrupting the maid. Since it was restricted to take picture, we didn’t take much of pictures, as we worry to get notice.^_^

 

Jeffney had ordered a Karaggae, which is fried chicken fillet, and I ordered peach ice floss. The foods were nice, but the price a bit too high for us.

The maids were so cute and adorable. They purposely use a cute voice while taking order with us. And due our seats is very low, when the maid serving us, she was kneel down and taking order with us. The maid just treats us like her real masters.

The maid also offered us the member card as it’s our first time been time. The member card is to collect points for every visit, and we will rewarded by discounts.

It’s a good experience to a maid’s theme café. I would go again next time.
