The much awaited Animetsu’s Tenshi no Cafe was finally opened yesterday. We caught up with Jason Chu, the representative director of Animetsu Studio Japan and took a quick tour of the Maid cafe. More after the break

Tenshi no Cafe aka 天使の喫茶 is the latest Maid Cafe to be opened in Malaysia. Located at e@Curve in Mutiara Damansara, the cafe is different from other previously opened maid cafes in Malaysia that it’s directly monitored from Animetsu’s branch in Japan, finally bringing a “real” Japanese style Maid cafe to Malaysia


The cafe is spacious, and mostly pink in colour. there are quite a few figurines adorning the cafe, with a single Angel Beats anime poster sitting alone in a corner. But Jason assured me that they will be bringing in much more stuffs as the month goes on, especially a PS3 where patrons can play games with the maids in the cafe.


Speaking of maids, there are only currently 6 working in the cafe. But then the process of hiring them also is quite unique as the local management will send the applications to Japan, and only will hire them once it is approved in Japan. The pink dress is quite sexy but the colour combination could have been a bit better. But we were given the assurance that the dress will change over time according to “themes” that will be adopted by the cafe depending on special occasions, which means that the cafe itself will not be the same every time a patron drops by.


The design on the seats and tables are not really fixed, meaning that if on occasion anyone want to have a party or even a shoot, they can change the layout accordingly. It’s a way to attract people in group to book the place for gatherings, which is quite a good idea.

I didn’t get a look at the food (I only had RM5 on me), but I was assured that it is as authentic as the one served in cafes in Japan, only with certain tweaks to make it edible for locals. Meaning that there will be NO porks nor alcohol served. To make sure that the food can be eaten by Muslims, all the ingredients are certified by Jakim and the cafe itself is in the process of applying for a halal status, the first maid cafe to do so in Malaysia

On some people’s complaint about the slowness of service during the opening day, Jason did comment on that saying that they didn’t expect the crowd to be so big and they were short on chefs. He assured me though that they will be hiring more, and that the service will be much better.

On a side note, our moderator pr1me_minister also had an experience with one of the maid there

We will have a joint radio interview with Radio Emina featuring Jason Chu and two of the maids. So be sure to catch that later.
