Review: Platina Parlour Visit


This supposedly written on the day after I went there.. Too bad I was too sick to even think or write anything after that. I usually didn’t come to those kind of place that felt suffocating, but anyhow I’m glad I did. And yes… This blog originally private. Hahaha.. So… Here goes the story thus far *huh?!*
Maybe you are wondering what is Platina Parlour, lemme give a brief description of what kind of place and event that is. Platina Parlour are an otome game based butler café (don’t ask me what otome game is.. Please google it yourself) that was introduced firstly at an event held in WTC Mangga Dua in Nikuri: Tokyopolis event.

It all started when one day I stumble upon an invitation to an event of Platina Parlour on my FB page. Out of curiosity, I looked to the page, and that basically picked my interest. Forget about all the trivia. I can never remember them anyway I guess, not with all the work things and all in my head (forgive my ignorance). But they succeed to make me wait what kind of butler are there. And each day I looked forward for the revelation of the butler.

Upon seeing the first butler revealed, I thought ‘The one who draw this is really good’. I love the character in an instant (BTW, it was Ken alright). And the demeanor? Enough for me to see who will be the real one. And my wish were answered after a while. But too bad I actually find the drawing was better than the photo of the real butler (I’m truly sorry). The photo of those butler that I love most was… KAI. He got all the image correct like expected. That’s all. Which brings me to decide to see how it will turn out.

At first, I reaaaaaly curious of what kind of concept, the decoration, the food, the service they will give and all that, regarding I love to study about café (based on my own experience of consulting several cafés of my friend and family  ^_^;). And additional to it, I also want to meet all my friends whom I’ve been missing for so long. Glad I made it there at least.  Hehehe…

So… here’s my story goes: (don’t be disappointed coz it’ll be a bit to the ‘professional’ side. I warned you already that I’m not into fangirl-ing stuff)

I did went to the café’s front desk several times, curious of how the reception will be. The table got all the menu stated with price range and gimmicks you will get. A simple one indeed, in regard of all those advertisement (I’d suggest for an upgrade of image later on *wink). Sample of badges are shown too, though they posted it in the web earlier. Cute enough, but I’d want a Platina Parlour logo if they have it. I LOVE their logo. It’s simple, yet enticing.. A key to your heart concept? :D

Well.. I’d expect to go in by myself, but I waited a bit longer for my friends to show up. Perhaps one or some of them will come with me, which they did. We ended up can’t choose the other butler due to the line, so we ended up with KEN, which actually our target initially (Lucky!!!). After some waiting time, the receptionist called upon us and we’re more than ready to get into our own ‘expectation land’

We were greeted by KEN himself with a politeness that surely flattering for some, but not me (Sorry Ken.. I guess I’m too used to it). Seated on the corner of the room, my guy friends surely can see what happened in the café clearly. Too bad we, the girls seated in their front so we can’t really see all that. Well.. I took a glimpse of the butler. Umm.. Not a glimpse alright. A good look of each and every butler. And as expected, KAI is still the one I want to pinch his cheek on. After all, I got this weak spot for chubby cheek.

But what I didn’t expect was…. That KEN was also a ‘megane’ (glasses) kind of person. And in fact, he looked better with glasses on. Hehehe… So the picture in their page, the drawing one is come a bit closer to the actual person. And I mean… in a good way, I like it. KEN was polite and listen well to us, which I felt a bit bad for him coz we ‘kinda’ torture him with our own café knowledge. But what I like from him was that he tried to give us his best service and his eagerness to learn.

One of the scene I remember was when he tried to pour our hot tea, his hand was shaking.
Me: “Heavy?”
Ken: “Yes, I’d never expected this to be heavy, but it is”
Me: “Just take your time”
Ken: “Thank you, miss”
Actually, the conversation was in Indonesian because Ken said “My English is not that good” when I asked him to try talk some line for us in English. I’m imagining him blushing and my heart kinda skipped a beat because of that. He can be such a sweetie. I want him… as a lil brother unfortunately. Hehehe…
There was another scene that occurs after we told him about our though of the café itself, and his experience of doing things. We gave him some suggestion on how to serve better, and this was what happened:
Ken: “Can I give you another refill, Miss?”
Me: (wish I could blush.. I’m such a heavy drinker sometimes) “Yes, please”
Ken: “Wait for a moment, Miss”
He appeared not too long and brought the pot with him.
Ken: “So… how does it goes again? From the right side?”
Me: “Yes, but if it’s difficult, you can always do *this and that (I don’t wanna bore you with this story)*”
And he did it. For several times after we taught him how to do things. And he got a PLUS PLUS PLUS point from me for being such an eager person. I wanna pat him on the head for that.. Teehee..
I remember that when we chatted with each other, laughing at our own jokes, Ken was standing beside our table patiently (poor Ken), while… this is the part I like about him most… he tried to remember all of our suggestion for him to improve himself for better service. Awww… Isn’t he sweet? After all, he’s up to his own standard saying: “Your wish is my command, Milady”. Good job Ken.
We got a Normal Ending in our visit. Mostly because we didn’t come with the mind to finish a game. Totally forgot that. Hehehe :P. It ended with us taking photos with our butler.  Since there were 4 of us, so originally we got 4 slot of photos. And since the guys got no interest to take personal photo with Ken, so we ended up with 1 group photo, 1 girls photo and 2 individual photos. And I’m feeling a bit bad to our lovely butler Ken because we a bit force him to use a Kira Kira Eyes in our group photo. Which turned out… Kawaiiiii~. Ufufufufu….
Ken is pouting coz he seemly can not see well without his glasses.
Nevertheless, he's still cute :))

A cute pose indeed. Saying: Love is in the air
Huehehehe

I can't believe they said he's 179.
He must be closer to 185
with me in my heel and he still taller.
There were other butler too with their own unique characteristics:
Jun: The Head Butler and (apparently) the most favorite (they said). I knew the real Jun, sooo.. I guess if I asked him as my butler, I’d ended up laughing all the time (sorry Jun XD)
Kou: The tsundere type. People usually love this kind of type, especially those who love to fangirling. There are several people that loves to get Kou, but if I would describe him.. I’d say: a deary little KID. This type usually be my object of torture though.. (oops.. there.. there… I said it. Made me wanna pet him. Hohohoho… *evil queen laughter*). I did not really like him though, so… sorry Kou. If there’s another PP event.. and if I manage to get you as my butler, I think it’ll be because of my friend… or You’re the only one that I haven’t picked. But… If you changed into the hottie in the original picture (not your photo) perhaps… I surely will.. Hahaha…
Shuu: This one is a perfect type for shotakon. A bit childish side, but to me? He would definitely get into my chamber of torture.. or if I’m not in the mood, he mostly gonna get my cold shoulder. There was one scene I remember during my visit there where he was being chased by Riku (another butler) and almost literally dragged to the customer’s table while Riku said: “Please take care of him, oujousama.” This scene remind me of a master picking up a cat that being naughty and being held in his collar. Nyahahaha…
Riku: The “Dark Prince” type, almost like Ootori in Ouran Koukou with megane (glasses). My type exactly, but what fun can you have to get the same type as you to serve? A banter of darkness it seems. And a tag team of mischievousness. *evil glint*
Kai: For me, I’d say this is one of cute type. The bright smile and all. And naughty one on top of that. I really can’t believe that he’s a big bro of Kou though. They’re too… different for once. A complete moon if you make them stand side by side. A bright and dark side.

And all this description making me want to write a story of their daily activities… if there is one real café… Gosh… My work is pilling already, so the plan of torture will be held back for now.

Ciao~

Another Post, Another Thought

Well, here I am, writing just out of boredom and I remember that I haven't wrote a single post in this blog this month.. So.. I just don't know what to write today, so I guess I'll just post down a trailer froma movie that I REALLY want to watch this month, "Perahu Kertas"


Dear Neptunus

Aku mencintainya.
Di depannya aku menjadi diriku sendiri
Seperti airmu yang selalu membawa semua pesanku.
Dia pun begitu.

Membuatku hanyut
Oleh sorot matanya
Membuatku lupa oleh kesederhanaan suaranya
Sampai aku tidak bisa katakan apa-apa padanya
Bahkan untuk sekedar bilang "Rindu"...
Atau "Butuh"

Banyak yang ga ngerti
Lalu terluka
Dan saling menyalahkan

Karena itu aku takut bicara tentang hati
Maka kutuliskan saja
Lalu kusimpan
Dan mungkin kukirimkan ke...
Entah kemana.
