There are many reasons (hygiene being the main one) why I would not normally eat out of urinals, let alone toilet bowls or bath tubs. However, arriving at Modern Toilet (3/F, MPM Building, 240-244 Portland Road, Mongkok, 2308 1166), the bright, colourful walls and sparkling clean surfaces gave me peace of mind that the utensils I was about to eat from would be sanitary. The restaurant in Mongkok, a branch of the toilet-themed restaurants originating from Taiwan, guarantees a unique dining experience. The name basically describes the experience. One wall is covered with rows of urinals, the other decorated with bathrobes and a shower, and at the back is a mini gallery of toilet seat covers adorned with the flags of various countries. To complete the set up, all chairs are made from plastic toilet bowls (that you can actually open up), each with an artistic design. Ironically, the actual washroom facilities were unexpectedly bland. All food and drinks, appropriately, are served in replica toilet bowls, urinals, washbasins, or bathtubs. On offer is a range of Asian and European dishes including Indian curry beef ($60), Texas smoked chicken fillet ($55) or the assorted hot pot ($75). To finish off the meal, if you don't mind eating food in the shape of a #######, try the chocolate soft-serve ice cream ($15).

((((wow real food in toilet bowl....i cant believe this......

I guess if the food doesn't sit well with you, you are taken care of right "on the spot"

I wanna know if you have to flip the lid up when you sit down to eat? Are there placecards that ask you to please close the lid when through? At $75 a plate are the toilet seats padded so you don't get up with a sore rump?

Now, it definately is a place to go just to say you have been there. I can see this somewhere close to a major airport with alot of international traffic, or in a large commercial city with a high tourist turnout.

So, what do the waiters and waitresses wear?

When you ask for a napkin are they on a roll?

And hey.......I don't see the magazine rack, am I missing it?

Thanks for sharing,

Sue

MAYBE YOU CAN FIND OUT HERE;

restaurant might consider it a compliment to be called an outhouse

as the Modern Toilet diner is one of chain of themed eateries appealing to largely

young clientele with a toilet humour.

All 100 seats in the crowded diner are made from toilet bowls, not chairs. Sink

faucets and gender-coded "WC" signs appear throughout the three-storey facility,

one of 12 in an island-wide chain of eateries with a toilet theme.

Customers eat from mini plastic toilet bowls. They wipe their hands and mouths

using toilet rolls hung above their tables, which may be glass-topped jumbo bathtubs.

"Most customers will bring their cameras in because the place is quite special,"

said Yang Chung-chi, a manager at the restaurant in north Taipei.

Owner Wang Tzi-wei opened his first Modern Toilet in 2004 after being inspired by

a Japanese cartoon featuring restroom images and the toilet themes run through the

food and drinks menus.

Modern Toilet draws on people ages 15 to 35, especially students from the three

universities near Yang's facilities because they're "easily excited," Yang said.

He said older people just wouldn't get it.

"It's really unusual, so special that it doesn't gross me out," said Betty Tsai,

16, a Taipei high school sophomore trying Modern Toilet for the first time on a friend's

recommendation.

But for a few customers, the toilet humor is too much.

"My son thought it was disgusting and didn't know if he could finish his food,"

said Taipei mother Lin Li-ju.

Managers say the restaurant's popularity shows that Taipei

customers, who have a choice of theme-eateries that resemble

jailhouses and hospitals, appreciate creative dining.

"In the evenings, we easily fill up," Yang said.

"Our headquarters is still looking at expansion."
