First experience in Platina Parlour

Nov 27, 2014


Another reason why I wanted to go to ITGCC is a butler cafe named Platina Parlour. I never went to butler cafe because actually I didn't have any interest into one XD Because I thought butler cafe is just a cafe where you eat, drink and talk with the butler, simple as that XD But this one is different.
Tell you the truth, I went there out of curiousity. Since my friends who have gone there, always squealing, fangirling and writing reports about the cafe in social media XD My curiousity killed me, so when my friends were about to book for reservation, I joined them XD

I warn you this post contains of absurdity XD
Platina Parlour is the first butler cafe in Indonesia. Unlike others butler cafe, this cafe offered something just like otome game, so they give you games, events, happy ending, good ending, bad ending, or even game over. Though I don't quite understand about that system since I am still a new 'milady' in there. Yes, all girls who go there are called "milady" or "nona" in Bahasa (Indonesian language). In their facebook page, it was announced that the theme at Platina Parlour for that day was Garden Party, so I decided to wear dress and high heels XD

I booked for two times reservations, one in the morning and second one in the afternoon. My friend told me that our table will be served by Ken in the morning and served by Shuu in afternoon shift. I was really nervous since this cafe has quite strict rules, and I was really afraid if I broke the rules without knowing O_o Top of that, my friend said that cafe was just like otome game. I might be good in playing otome games with console or PC, but NOT in real life LOL. Whenever I played otome game, I always save the game right before choosing an answer, and load the saved game until I get the right answer.

So, what is it like irl otome game? Don't ask me, I really don't know how to answer that O_O 

Platina Parlour gave special merchandise for the milady who did online reserved. Since I booked for two shifts, so I got two totebags and two ballpoints. They let us to choose which butler ballpoint we wanted, I chose two butlers who served my table, Ken and Shuu.

*~Brain Teaser from Ken~*

I will start with Ken route first, since he was the first butler whom I met. First impression when I saw him. DANG! TOO TALL! I don't know his height but yeah he was very tall despite I was already wearing heels. His attire and appearance was very neat, clean and... of course very good looking. He even looked more handsome in real life than his picture XD He offered to help carrying our bags, so me and my friends dropped ALL of our bags to him LOL. We, four girls ( Yeni, Ana and Kazu ), at least had 2 bags, so around 8 bags in total XD He carried our bags, not with his hands but arm XD He guided us to our table with so many bags hanging in his arm. Very manleh XD

The decorations in the cafe were simple and dominated with white color. Each table had small glass that placed in reverse way, and there were some plastic flowers inside. Very creative and cute. Though I couldn't take pictures since it was prohibited.

Once we situated on our seat, Ken introduced himself in polite way and then asked for our name. I had planned just to give my nick name, but I accidentally slipped out my real name orz. But later I thought it was okay since I was not cosplaying at that time orz

We talked a bit with Ken while waiting for our food to be served. Since I confessed that it was my first time to Platina Parlour, he said that he hoped that he could give first good impression. Before walking inside the cafe, I already made a mental note to make sure that I should give right answer in order to get happy ending XD

Before our scheduled time in the cafe, my friend, who had been into Platina Parlour before, said that we should eat very quickly so we could get more times in games, of course we agreed to that idea because we were very hungry. BUT Ken was standing right there all the time, watching us eat LOL How were we supposed to eat greedily while he watched there like an hawk LOL We were too embarrassed to show our 'wild' nature to a very neat butler But who knows he will wipe your mouth with napkin but of course that is not going to happen LOL 

Oh yeah... My friend happened to get a doughnut with chibi Ken's face icing, we asked him to slice the doughnut into four XD He looked very hesitant to cut his own chibi cute face the doughnut XD
While he cut the doughnut, we were watching his hands. Yes! HIS HANDS LOL. A pair of manly hands <3 LOL

I love sweets and doughnuts.... But unfortunately the doughnuts that were served at that time were TOO SWEET and the green tea was not helping either, since it was sweet too. My tastebud felt weird orz, so I put ice into my mouth as I tried to finish my doughtnuts as fast as I could.

Ken : How was the food, Nona?
Me : *making weird face as trying to smile back* It's good... But it's too sweet.... Well, maybe because we are already sweet

I nearly said "It's because we eat sweet doughtnut in front of a sweet person like you Ken. We got handsomemoebetes" << Okay, please ignore this LOL

No more "makan cantik" XD since my mouth was full of ice and doughnut LOL While eating, me and my friends went to photobooth in turn to take picture with Ken. I almost embarrassed myself, almost fell on the ground because my feet stumbled on the mountain of our bags XD

I am still waiting for the pictures to be sent. I hope I don't have any doughnut crumbs on my face XD and hope the photo turns out really good.

Ken : Nona, how did you get here? (about transportation)
Kazu & Ana : UFO
Yeni : Meteor
Me: Well... Getek.
Ken : *looked confused* What is getek, Nona?
Me : You don't know "getek" ?
Ken : No... What is that?
Me :... It's like... a boat. But no machine and it's made from wood board that can float.
Ken : And how does it move?
Me : Well like this... *I moved my arms like an idiot, paddling on my chair as if it was a boat LOL*

So there was an event happened in our table after we took pictures with Ken. Another butlers came to our table. I didn't know them LOL One of them introduced their names, Kai and... Mince (it's spelled Meen Che).
I was dumbstruck. I thought it was serious. In my country "Mince" is a common she-male name XD The "Mince" butler nodded his head when I asked whether it's real or not. I was so confused since it's my first time to Platina Parlour and I didn't know other butlers names and face, except for the butler who was serving my table LOL Later, I knew that "Mince"'s actual name is Yui LOL 

After that, Ken gave us games. It's a match stick math game. I was literally like...


Honestly, I am no good at math, I am weak at memorizing formulas. Ken said that it's not fully math game, but it's how you solve the problem. Since the time passed as we thought, eventually we gave up and let Ken showed us the answer LOL Well... I am not going to tell you how the game was like, since Ken made me promised to not leak it LOL Just in case, this game will appear again in the future at Platina Parlour.

And so the next game was chessboard game. Nope, we were not playing chess. So, we had to move the knight on limited board with its own pace BUT shall not move on the board that it have stepped.

I failed on first try and Ken asked whether we choose to give up, but I didn't want to give up just yet, so I asked for second chance LOL and without shame I asked Ken if I could get a price if I won this, and he said yes XD

Ken : Nona **** (real name censored XD) it seems that you really like puzzle game
Me: Yeah, as long as it doesn't involve with numbers XD

I love puzzle game, as long as math isn't involved LOL

Eventually I won, and Ken gave me two cans of chips <3 Yes! I need salty and crispy snack after eating too much sweets T~T We named those two cans as "Kebaikan hati Ken" ( trans: Ken's kindness ) XDDD

Later, I don't quite remember how it turned out to be age-guessing game, but Ken said if he could guess the age one of us right then he could own one can of chips back, and I was like NOOOOOOO.
So he guessed me and my friends age WRONG and I was like "YAY! I look younger!" LOL
untiiiiillll last one, he guessed my friend's age right orz. I almost lost one can of chips, but Ken said that I could take it home since he couldn't take the gift that had been given to milady. So the chips were mine afterall LOL And in the end, he knew our real age... Orz

Unfortunately, the time already ran out so we had to go out from the cafe. Ken let us stayed longer in the cafe until the way out. Thank you, Ken for serving our table :) He really gave me first good impression of Platina Parlour <3

Outside of the cafe, I wondered what kind of ending we got. My friend said it was normal ending since we didn't get anything from the butler. Until now, I am still confused though and don't understand how to get certain endings from butlers.


*~Chitchat with Shuu~*

This time, my team was different. I was seated with Eiga and her friend, Jun. Shuu was our butler, and the butler who was really excited to see my friend's tanuki plushie XD I felt a bit sorry for him to carry our bags since he was such a petite and slim guy, it was as if breeze could fly him away XD

There was no game, event and ending from him. But in the first five minutes, he said that he would give us happy ending but he was already out of stock of his happy ending presents. DAYUM.
This time I had meat bread and he sliced the bread for me.

His character was very different from Ken, he was more like a childish and cute type, I think?

All we did was talking about our hobbies, games, yaoi games. Yes, yaoi games LOL He played DMMD. I told him that I gave up playing DMMD since I saw Clear's bad ending pictures, it seriously creeped me out XD Apparently, Shuu is Jun's favorite butler, so Shuu asked me and Eiga who was our favorite butler. Since I am still new to Platina Parlour, so I just said it's Ken XD

Shuu : So, Nona **** like a neat and mature type just like guys in otoge right?
Me : Shuu, otoge always have best type of guys, there are no shabby and ugly guys in there XD

Or maybe Shuu is the little brother type who you can order around ? LOL Because Jun asked him to sign the photo, I got an idea, I tried asking him if he could get Ken signed a photo for me, he did it XD Thank you, Shuu!

Unfortunately, no event from other butlers happened in this hour. And I am also still waiting the pic with Shuu to be sent.

Games prize from Ken, butlers photos, ballpoints and totebags

Chibi Ken and Chibi Shuu. Very cute
Kuji. I got photo collection xD
It was such great first experience in Platina Parlour, and I will surely go there again because I am sooooo curious about events and endings XD Hey! Give me happy endings, okay? LOL

Hai Dyne, aku bantu jawab sedikit ya ^^
Sejauh ini 'ending' Platina Parlour ada 3: normal ending - good ending - bad ending.

Shift yang diakhiri dengan normal tanpa pemberian good end = normal ending
sedangkan bad ending terjadi jika nona melakukan pelanggaran serius di dalam. Umumnya sang nona (atau lebih dari 1) bisa diescort keluar dengan tidak hormat dan memperoleh status ban (dilarang mengikuti kegiatan Platina Parlour dalam bentuk apa pun)

Soal good ending, cara mendapatkannya sebenarnya tergantung dari butler masing - masing. Belum ada cara fix untuk mendapatkan good end dari butler, namun yang jelas masing2 butler Platina Parlour memiliki kepribadian, latar cerita dan relasi yang berbeda-beda dengan para butler lain, jadi ketika 'persyaratan' berhasil terpenuhi oleh sang nona / sang butler merasa enjoy dengan nonanya, dia akan memberikan good end. Pada event exiled, tanda good end berupa surat dari butler + kalung bergambar butler tsb, sedangkan sejak Anicult sampai event ITGCC kemarin, tandanya berupa bros bunga. (plus postcard di Anicult & bonus strap HP di ITGCC)

Semoga bisa cukup menjawab ^^
