A cute waitress in maid costumes serves “kawaii food dishes” such as doodles with tomato ketchup on the *omurice, anime characters of cafe latte art.
If you want to have an experience of “Maid cafe” but you don’t have time or feel hesitant to go there, this one is a kind of “light-service version” compared with an authentic maid cafe, so that everyone can enjoy “kawaii” maids and foods.
*“Omurice” is a staple of Japanese food, is typically egg omelet (sometimes very fluffy) and ketchup-flavored fried rice.
