I'm a bit backed up on posts! I recently went to the 6-year anniversary event (it's about 2 weeks long) for the maid café I normally go to, Kokorolia!
There were special meal sets, 一番賞 (prize drawing), and rotating uniforms and costumes the maids wore!

I tried out the heart-shaped braids again. It's still very finicky for me, and I was wearing long nails again, but I got it done!
JSK: BABY THE STARS SHINE BRIGHT
Shoes: Sheep Puff (taobao)
The event was massively popular. It'd been about a week since the start on the day we went, and the prizes were roughly half gone already! Based on the prize displays on the wall, which show how many of each prize has been drawn and how many are left, there were over a thousand prize chances.
Exo and I both drew G-tier prize, which is a random swimsuit Polaroid. He gave me his 😹
We got one drawing chance each as we'd ordered the special meal set, but you could pay extra to draw again (NT$320 if I recall correctly? Not cheap!) It seems many customers did indeed pay for extra chances, though.
The girl at the table next to us got one of the top prizes, a printed maid scroll!
My hair and makeup for the day
I wore red because I wanted to try out the NT$19 set of nails I'd bought on a whim. The actually fit pretty well, but were a bit transparent so you could see the borders of the gel tape underneath, and when I was removing them, the deformed easily. So they were a one-time wear set, but I think it was worth!
Nails for the day
The special meal set I got was the shrimp pesto pasta! I chose the fizzy drink because usually they're prettier (the other option was regular red tea)
The photo doesn't show it well, but it had a gradient in color!
The pasta ended up having bacon in it 😿but luckily since I was there with Exo, I picked out the bacon and handed them over 😈
Big shrimp patty!
The pasta was delicious and filling!
Overall, it was a lovely experience! My friend Exo had to leave early for work (we only got a seat just before 3pm as it was fully booked at 1pm) but I stayed for my full time and chatted with the maids :3 Learned that Nic also plays Monster Hunter! Though I think she only played World and skipped Rise due to not liking the art style 😹 So that was fun to talk about!
Thanks for reading! Hope you are all having a good end of year season!
