a crappy new idea for a restaurant




Toilet themed restaurants are not something new in Taiwan (I know you won't believe me); it has been around since 2004 with people dining in a toilet like environment (yes, it is unbelievable) and eating from a mini toilet bowl (ditto).

One would think, especially one with good taste, that this business idea won’t last long. But both you and I would be dead wrong. With the recent exposure by foreign press and bloggers, it seems that these eateries are becoming a bizarre-food icon from Taiwan… something like eating fugu in Japan and live octopus in Korea or spam with your eggs in Hawaii.

Just in case you didn't believe me, here some pictures from Modern Toilet, a food chain (yes a chain) that operates 12 toilet themed restaurants in Taiwan. Happy eating and....well you can guess what comes next.
