Signature Dishes Dept: These so-called cosplay short for "costume play" cafes, where staff are dolled up in a variety of kinky costumes to bus tables and take orders, have been all the rage in Tokyo since the 1990s. Like wildfire, they have spread to other Asian cities, including Taipei, Singapore and Hong Kong, according to Vancouver Sun. At the Magnetic Cafe in Richmond, young waitresses in quirky guises eagerly serve up Taiwanese bubble tea and signature dishes such as crispy fried chicken nuggets or pancakes with green onions. Depending on the week, the waitresses could be French maids, policewomen, sailors or schoolgirls and in the busy streets of Tokyo, it's unremarkable for a person to walk into a cafe and be greeted by a bowing waitress in a French-maid outfit. Neither is it unusual for diners to patronize a jail-themed restaurant, and be handcuffed and led to a dining table nestled behind bars by a waitress dressed up as a sexy prison guard. Now, one has finally landed in Metro Vancouver. As
reported in the news.
