Finally I am able to go Taiwan after saying it for so many years *laugh*. The hotel / apartment which I stayed for the 7 days in Taiwan is Color Studio台北酒店式公寓, which is introduce by my best friend (: This is how my room look like, I booked Room 8, you may hit this
link to check out their other rooms. I paid SGD 225 (each pax) for 7 days 6 nights for this hotel.
So far the room is nice and clean to me, toilet as well. I am super particular when it come to clean room and toilet when I travel. Location wise, this hotel is located at XiMenDing (西門町)but is not near the Subway station, I think it about 5-10 minutes walk to the station. Our hotel is near to MacDonald and 7-11.
How could I not visit a butler cafe at Taiwan when I'm so into anime, butler stuff. hahaha! Who doesn't want to be treated like a princess? As such, I found Wisteria butler cafe through google. Wisteria is located at XiMenDing which is near to our hotel, just a 5 minutes walk which is a good thing as I tend to get lost. =P
Please visit their
facebook book appointment. You may choose to walk-in as well but it not recommended as the cafe is usually full house. They have different time slot to visit, you may click the link which I copy. The slow which I booked is 4.30pm, initially I wanted to book the last slot but they said that because there's a lot of incident which foreigner booked the last slot but end up didn't turn up ><
Peach water instead of lemon water
Usagi-chan at one corner~
Full of manga and feel free to read it while you're there.
Once you reach there, please wait at the staircase area for the butler to bring you up to the shop. We were sort of awkward when we were there. The shop is full of female customers, the only 2 guys in there are my friends. *laugh* Before you enter the shop, the butler will ask you to pass your belonging to him as he will carry it for you. The butlers will address you as "大小姐" or "少爺" when you're there.
They will explain to you some rules before you can start ordering your food. We can only dine there for 1 hour 45 minutes. We took the set menu and to my surprise the food taste quite good. There's one which taste like our Chili crab! There are games and plush toy which you can play with. The theme that they had when I was there was Airline, so the butler dress up as cabin crew. There's was one who even dress up as stewardess! He (she) was so pretty ><
I ordered clam cream pasta with milk tea
This is the one which I said taste like our Chili Crab! I think it spicy chicken.
Curry chicken with bones ><
Before I went to the butler cafe, I did read a lot of review that the butler will pour you your tea, and they will ask you how many cubes of sugar do you want to add into your drinks. And so, I saw someone mentioned in her blog that they have very nice waffles as well and I could I resisted it, I love waffles and so I ordered it. To my surprise, they even cut it for us before we start eating *so sweet* Indeed, I really love their waffles.
They talk to us to make us less awkward and asked us questions about singapore. End up me and my friends start to play some games and we were so high and crazy when suddenly one of the butler, 伊恩, came to our table with handcuffs! And there goes my craziness. hahaha! oh ya! They are very thoughtful, reason is when I went to the ladies, they have all sort of thing in there for us ladies, kotex, make up, cotton pads, lens solution and more! Where can you find this kind of toilet in sg?
Before time up, we were serve with a free cocktail for only our table! I was shock when he serve the cocktail and I ask my friends, did we order it and I told the butler that we did not order it and he told me that it was on the house. So good, I love free things, who doesn't! hahahah!
After payment, they passed each of us a card to collect points. From what I read at their FB and also blog, they say that once you collect all points you can ask for the butler to do something in exchange. I don't think I'll be able to collect it all since I don't live at there T_T
That's my experience for the first butler cafe which I went in my whole life! *laugh* You may find it weird why there isn't any photos of the butler, reason is we are not allow to take photo of them. This is one of the rules which they set. I'll definitely visit there again if I were to go Taiwan again. You may want to try it if you're going Taiwan. A great experience.
