Singaporean Maid Cafe opening soon
It seems that all the excitement has died down and everyone has forgotten about that maid cafe which was supposed to have opened at Far East Shopping Centre last month. Some people (me being one of them) had already filed it away under urban legend.
Caution: Maid depicted may differ from real-life
But apparently, according to this forum post on SGCafe (a local anime and cosplay community site), Cosafe Maid Cafe will be open on the 12th this month (next Tuesday). It’s located at 30 Victoria Street #01-11 CHIJMES, which is within walking distance of otaku and fujoshi’s favourite gathering spot in Singapore.
So… uh. Yay!(?)

And I thought it was gonna be at Far East Plaza. Oh, well.
I expect to be either called goshujin-sama or onii-chan when I enter XD

There is a maid agency at our gathering spot which replaced the former AZ Comics location. Its name?
Superservants.

I’m still keeping up with the news of the coscafe, contrary to your statement.
There are two great advantages of setting it up at CHIJMES:
1. CHIJMES is targeted at upper-class and expatriate clientèle, so all the “ah peks” (Int’l English: local perverted old men) are “socially pressured” to stay away from such high-class locales.
2. CHIJMES is located on what I call it “bohemian” area (I lol’ed at this concept given Singapore’s still-strict controls), and near SMU. Given that the Government has gazetted the area to allow budding entrepreneurs to set up businesses here, it gives the owners of the coscafe an opportunity to test their business idea.
Stupidly, I never liked business. Otherwise I’d have signed up with SMU instead of engineering-intensive courses, and I’d spent my free time browsing through manga & mechas at Sunshine Plaza, drop by the NLB for some reading, and eat roti john at the coffee shop near NAFA.

Oh yeah~ I saw the job notice on hiring the maids a few weeks back or so and it was this particular one. I suppose no maid cafe in Far East then?

Ah, excellent, I’ve heard about this one too. Who’s going with me this coming Tuesday? E-mail me at endorxdkang@hotmail.com

CHIJMES of all places, but it might appeal to non-otakus who pass by. “Hey look! Interesting café at CHIJMES with Victorian maids!” Okay nevermind. I might patronise once for the novelty but no more than that.
On second thought, the money is better spent on 2D girls than on 3D ones.

Are hot girls actually going to do this.

This destroys CHIJMES image as an chic place.

@Tsubaki : Why?

CHIJMES is close enough to the Otaku gathering places - Bugis + City Hall. It’s only a tad far from Chinatown
