Kokorolia 心物語 Maid Café — Restaurant in Taipei

An interesting cafe where 4 waitress are dress up as maids and they serve your food in a cheerful & friendly manner.

The food was pretty decent, nothing mind-blowing but we cleared our plates, and Nic drew such a lovely rendition of her tiefling on my omelette that I felt a bit bad cutting into it 😭

Anyway, we had a great experience and it was a hilarious way to spend a...
