When, back in 1959, at a children's goods fair in New York, the first dolls with an impeccable figure, bright makeup and chic curls appeared on sale, mothers were seriously worried about moral norms, dads cheered up, and daughters selflessly fell in love with beauties with the fancy name Barbie … Since then, little has changed: doll fever still dominates the minds of millions, even the name itself has become a household name. In honor of Barbie, films are made, cars are produced, and recently in Taiwan opened the world's first Barbie Cafe themed restaurantin pink, of course.

The fact that Taiwanese know how to surprise with a non-standard approach to food culture, we have already written on our website Culturology.ru. What is the P. S. Bu Bu, which can rightfully be called a paradise for motorists. But Barbie Cafe is the best vacation spot for "doll girls" (just remember the legendary sixteen-year-old American Kotakoti). The idea to build a themed restaurant in Taiwan did not come up by accident: among the locals, dolls are very popular, because for many years it was here that the largest Barbie production center was located.

The special atmosphere of the institution is created not only by the "doll" furniture and posters hung everywhere, waitresses in pink packs and waiters-Kenes will not leave visitors indifferent. The menu of the Barbie restaurant was compiled by nutritionists, for those who follow their figure, its calorie content is indicated next to each dish. True, even inveterate diet lovers will not be able to limit themselves in sweets here: hazelnuts, tiramisu, colorful macaroons, cakes and cakes in the form of dolls - there are delicacies for every taste!

Of course, not everyone liked the glamorous restaurant built by the American company Mattel. Many Taiwanese women expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that Barbie again tried to present it as the ideal of female beauty, because, in their opinion, this degrades the dignity of Asian women. Be that as it may, the grand opening of the restaurant has not gone unnoticed, so it is quite possible that for many visitors it will become a place where childhood dreams come true.
