Moe Moe Kyun!

This is a familiar expression for anime geeks or otakus. It can be heard and read in animes and mangas, particularly in maid cafes.

Maid cafes, which originated in Japan, have been a popular event for many anime fanatics. From the word itself, maid cafes are places where people could eat and hang out with maids and butlers as their waiter.

Last September 13, the UP Anime and Manga Enthusiasts (UP AME) held their yearly AME week which included their very own Maid and Butler Cafe at the Vargas Hall.

The Amadare Cafe offers a variety of maids and butlers that will serve and entertain you. At each table, one butler or maid is assigned to wait on customers for 20 minutes.

There are different types of maids and butlers: the refined, the tsundere, and the imouto or otouto. The customers will choose one type and that maid or butler will serve them according to the personality that the customers request.

The first, which is the refined maid or butler, is a calm, smart and professional-looking type. The second, which is the tsundere maid or butler, is a snobbish hard-to-get type. The last, which is the imouto or otouto maid or butler, is a little sister or little brother type. Some examples of the butlers you can choose from are 4chan, Sean, Larc, Nigel and Gina, who is a crossdresser.

The Amadare Cafe also has sets of meals to choose from - some of which are full course while some are snacks. One of the meals they have is the "Signal No. 4" which consists of nachos as appetizer, two onigiris or rice balls as main course, a choice of smores or candied orange with cake as dessert and orange juice for drinks. They also have the "Rainbow Set" which is a "merienda" set that offers smores or candied orange with cake and a cold drink.

We commend the Amadare Cafe for the food and service that are closely similar to the ones in Japan.

In the previous years, the UP AME held their AME week during the second semester but they moved it to the first semester to give way to their annual grand event to be held in February 2013.

This only happens once a year so be sure to check out UP AME's Amadare Cafe the next time they have their AME week! ● by Rya Ducusin, Arielle Gabriel, Hannah Garay, and Bianca Pio
