Hooters Taipei

 Went to Hooters today with some friends.  Unfortunately, I hadn't slept the night before so was wholly unprepared to manage the level of anxiety I felt in such a chaotic, loud, and oppressive environment. 

I did really like my outfit though!  I wanted to try bringing out multiple colors in the main JSK print, so used a black KC and choker, red blouse, white x gold socks, pink cardigan, and pink shoes.  I also had a pink bag!

KC, Socks: Alice and the Pirates
JSK: BABY THE STARS SHINE BRIGHT x Disney
Blouse: Little Dipper

Shoes: Sheep Puff 

Of course I had violet in her matching dress with me!

Though the environment at Hooters was overwhelming for me and the staff who took my order was rather rude and impatient, the food itself was all right.

Veggie Burger with Fried Mushrooms

My curly fries arrived late

 

Overall it was acceptable 

Was feeling pretty low afterwards to be honest.  Then I went to the bank to take care of some errands, and went to a cafe with my friends.

 I originally found this place 公園咖啡館/Le Park Cafe on Instagram I believe, and the apple pie was recommended.  It's actually not a pie at all, so if that's what you're expecting, you'll be disappointed!  But if you're open to trying an apple pastry with flaky layers of dough, finely sliced apple, a hint of cinnamon, and a huge scoop of ice cream, you'll be delighted! 

There is a slight discount if you get any of the sweets along with the drinks.  So I got an Americano for $130 and the "pie" was $210

I hadn't slept well the night before so was sort of a zombie while out.  The experience at Hooters certainly didn't help my mood! But the cafe was nice and I was then able to go home and chill and relax.

I saw a funny Instagram reel about Hooters being the "American Maid Cafe" experience 😹😹😹 which I guess it sort of is!

Honestly, I will likely never go back.  It's nice if you like sports bar/restaurant and noisy energetic atmosphere I guess, but it's definitely not for me!
