Anime art and syrup have probably never even been used in the same sentence, but Saboten Store, a faux maid anime café, combines the two together to create some amazing and delicious artwork. I’ve read about this café through various Naver blogs and from there learned about their miraculous creations. With the purchase of any toast or cheesecake, you also get the chance to make an additional purchase for “시럽아트”, or “Syrup art”, in which the café staff draw whatever game or anime character you would like on your dish. My friend and I who went are both huge Pokémon fans, so we naturally decided on two of our favorite Pokémon; Mega Scizor (my friend) and Mega Ampharos (myself). And the outcome was…
…pretty amazing, if you ask me. I do love the toast addition to Scizor and Ampharos! We’re going to do a Pokémon scene next time; possibly Mew and Mewtwo on separate plates fighting. If there was such thing as a delicious nerdgasm, then that would be it.
Not only that, but the café itself was quite cozy and eclectic; just how I like them. It’s full of imported Japanese anime stuffs for purchase. They didn’t have much game merchandise aside from numerous “Persona 4: The Movie” collectibles and a few games.
The menu on the café was simple. It has all of the essentials; basic tea, a few coffee drinks, and a couple of desserts. The staff were super friendly and they all donned amazing maid outfits. One was gracious enough to let me take a picture with her!
If you ever happen to be in Seoul, definitely make your way to this café. It’s has a unique atmosphere packed with all sorts of video game and anime fans alike. To get there, take the metro to Sadang station and go out of exit 11. Walk forward for a few blocks and Saboten Store will be on the second floor of a business building to your right. It’s difficult to miss! The menu is only in Korean and the staff don’t speak a whole lot of English, so make sure to look up some key words / phrases for Cafés before you go. Here’s a list of phrases that you might need if you ever do make it to Saboten:
안녕하세요!
Annyonghasayo!
(hello)
(food/drink item here) 주세요.
______ ju-seh-yo.
(please give me _____)
What would you get on your plate? I can’t wait for my next visit! My buddy and I were also thinking of a “derp” theme featuring Dunsparce and Goomy. If we get a third friend with us, Stunfish would have to join in.

FINALLY 5IV DEINO NO SPECIAL ATTACK THO
…sigh…
LOL…freeze hax
*sigh* Lol
anyone want a 5 iv deino?
I’ll take one
alright its without special attack tho is that alright?
Yeah, what do you want for it.
shroomish any will do
Anyone heard that on monday, nintendo will be doing maintence that may affect online battling :O BANK IS NEAR
That’s what they say, but what do you believe?
i dont say monday, i say just the week it may happened
what about may
not your may XD
When I first watched AG as a young lad, I always thought that May would be a month of May with episodes dedicated to her. Nope! But we got an episode with a lake named after her (the one w/ Volbeat and Illumise) and a movie dedicated to her.
didnt i say the 27th
idk maybe. I think it maybe tuesday or later. monday is only a wish
HAHAHA oh naive little sceptile when will you learn that pokebank is only a myth.
myths can be real
I’d sooner believe in Bigfoot than in “pokebank”
Emphasis on CAN.

@star_bits:disqus , are you still here? What Pokémon do you want for that Exploud in Gen 5?
wait what?
He said he would place an Exploud on the GTS in BW holding a Binding Band, because I asked for one, and I offered to give him any Pokémon for it in Gen 5. I had to go to bed though, and I didn’t get his answer.
Would anyone like you battle? 😀
ok!
has anyone like me used to watch power rangers when little?
I did. I got bored of it when they kept recycling the same series over and over again! The last one I watched was the one with the animals.
same. they have the same thing . then it starts to look really fake so i rage quit lol
I get that they were trying something new with each series, but it just didn’t work. I was able to predict a whole new series without watching it…and be right about it!
Refresh for pic XDDDDD
*flashbacks*
(jk)

MISCLICK
I was like “whaaaa” lol!!! XD
And quit swapping!
hate that!
Uuuuughhhh. Been in the safari for 2 hours and still no shiny x(
why does everyone think they will find a shiny quickly….
thank you, someone finally understands :3
i know it can go from 10 mintues which is amazing but it bascially the ration of how common a shiny is it like the lottery( easier i know) but u dont always win right away but a time lapse can go from a few mintues up to a few weeks
I always find mine quickly.
well ur you but look at me it took me 7 YEARS!!!!!!
that’s because you’re Arceus in human form.
You are blessed.
its the Shiny o-power MAX
lol. It’s just XY its easy to find shinies like Lelouch said… I love it.
plus that shiny charm
How many shinies do you have anyways?
exactly 80.
Dayum.
I never find mine quickly.
Well, everyone else seems to get them relatively easy in the safari. And most of them find theirs by accident so.. Yeaaah haha
Because finding shinies in XY is hillariously easy.
THIS!
did you tip and sacrifice 3 goats to Satoshi Tajiri?
Sacrificing three goats to Satoshi Tajiri is mandatory? Ooops I’ve got some explaining to do. I must never let him find me!
not necessary, just speeds up the process. you’ll get it first try if you offer him the virgin blood of 20 fair maidens
Gotta find me some wh—I mean…lovely maidens!
notice how I said VIRGIN blood.
Oh. That slipped my mind. Ummmm…in this day of age, that’s going to be difficult.
It’s sad that I know most of the 13 year olds in my class aren’t virgins. I’m pretty sure it’s illegal too.
I often wonder how they get so irresponsible.
I dunno. LOL I’m talking like I’m an adult or something.
We are all. I say that one is an adult when they have become wise and are a teen.
heavy we still doing the trade?
I don’t have one of those shreloom thingie majigs. I’m sure you can find one in a good grass safari though
i dont have a safari with one 🙁
its in the fighting safari
dont have one there either :((((
GG @BigGuyI:disqus 😀
Narrrg! I freaking hate losing
this is like the fifth loss today…
GG…
Woot shiny shuckle!
-_- i’m jelly… that blue is awesome.
tehe 😛 , btw, I asked you a question about an avatar earlier, I was wondering if you would mind if I changed mine to something similar to yours, but like I didn’t want to steal your idea so I wanted to know if you were cool with it 😛
congrats 😀 how many minutes
an hour and a bit… 😛 I lost track
Shuckle is 3op5me
You like dem shuckles?
one of my favorite gen 2 designs actually.
Gen 2 is my love, I like dem all in that gen
I must have come here to congratulate you!
Thanks, ^_^ are you still on the hunt?
Nah I’m taking a break right now, but you know that I got shiny Mankey/Primeape right?
I do now, Congratz 😀 *hopes you get that electangerine soon though* 😛
Yeah it was crazy, I got tired of hunting in the same place after Heavy said that each Safari had its own chances SO I went and tipped 10,000, went to the Mankey safari randomly, and found one in under 10 encounters! It was highly unusual XD
Yeah, I always find mine after I tip a lot, but it may just be a coincidence, but you’re the psychic type, you tell me 😛
Everything is a coincidence, that’s what I always say (form this point forward) 😛
Coincidence…sixth sense…psychic powers…tipping suggestions…doesn’t matter how it happened, you found a shiny and that’s all that matters.
I evolved it into a shiny Primeape and the dark green/tan colors are beautiful! I’m glad that it happened overall.
Glad to hear! I encountered a shiny Primape once in FR. I fainted it and was low on Pokéballs. That’s when I vowed myself that I will ALWAYS BE PREPARED!!!
Luckily I have never had that situation! But odd story, I never found a shiny in any Gen 3 game, Emerald or Firered. After all these years…
It’s best you haven’t. Transferring from Gen III to Gen V is a pain, or so I’ve heard.
Congrats how long did i take
Thanks, and it took like an hour or so
im on 5 hours looking for skourpi
my horde hunts always took a long time…took a week to get a shiny (that wasn’t even the one I was looking for but it was a murkrow so w/e).
then an hour later I got another shiny murkrow…
then 2 days later I got my shiny kelfki…
its pretty random ;-;
took me 4 hours
It took me less than an hour…
Dedication
