Have you ever dreamt of having unlimited free French fries?
Well, the Internet cafe chain Kaikatsu Club just made this dream of yours come true! Already well known for its affordable prices and facilities, the chain is now making a promotional campaign that gives its customers unlimited bread and crispy fries from 6.00am to 10.30am!
