Genshin maid cafe OPEN for orders!

dpsphotographystudio

The restaurant has given us a pre-order deadline of one week before the event (12th February) so they have sufficient time to prepare the ingredients needed for these Teyvat dishes. This is why it’s super important to pre-order your meal early! 🙂

  • Session A (12pm-2pm) is now open for orders!
  • Session B (3:30pm-5:30pm) will open on demand if Session A fills up

We try to make the foods as inclusive as we can. Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten free options are available, and ALL DISHES are Halal friendly. Specific allergy requirements can also be fulfilled by taking note in the comment section of your order.

Below are some descriptions on the dishes that we thought may be helpful to some people. 🙂

Satisfying Salad – Tasty, savoury, filling and affordable vegetarian meal (has a vegan option)

Goulash – Rich, creamy totamo-based soup with stewed beef and vegetables. VERY TASTY! (has a gluten free option)

Mysterious Bolognese – creamy savoury spaghetti that is rich in sauce. Generous portion. (has a vegan option)

Wanmin Restaurant’s Boiled Fish – Boneless fish pieces drenched in hot & spicy soup. For moderate & above chilli eaters!! (has a gluten free option)

Golden Shrimp Balls – Fancy and delicate fried shrimp coated with a mysterious batter. On the pricy side, but it’s worth every bite! 7 shrimps per plate.

Tonkotsu Ramen – Ramen in creamy tonkotsu soup topped with egg and other veges and herbs.

Grilled Unagi Fillet – Very authentic tasting grilled eel dish with great quality meats. It’s on the pricier side, so we recommend this for the eel lovers.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus your own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
