Taiwan's toilet restaurant takes off

LOS ANGELES - Would you eat at a restaurant where all the seats are toilets, you drink out of mini plastic urinals and eat poop-shaped meals on toilet-shaped plates?

That's exactly what hundreds of people are doing at the Modern Toilet , a popular Taiwanese restaurant chain that's expanding into China and other parts of Asia, according to Time magazine .

The customers sit on designer acrylic toilets at glass tables with a sink underneath. The meals are served on mini toilet bowls.

Menu items include chicken curry, pork chops and pasta, and elaborate shaved-ice desserts with names like "diarrhea with dried droppings" (chocolate), "bloody poop" (strawberry) and "green dysentery" (kiwi).

It's not just the Chinese who enjoy the unique dining experince. Many Westerners have reportedly been frequenting the Modern Toilet, which provides folding chairs and normal dishware for those not ready for the complete lavatory dining experience.

Many people are intrigued by the restaurant.

Haya says: "This type of restaurant is very popular. If I’m not mistaken, there’s also one in Korea. Weird restaurants are a boom these days."

fabandfurious says: "Awesome concept but I don’t think I’ll feel like eating from a toilet bowl."

Tommy Turd says: "What, no toilet paper napkins?"

Al West says: "I actually ate there when I was living in Taipei last year. The food was a bit pricey for what it is and it’s just a gimmick. The ice cream turds - well, they ARE kinda crappy ... [but] I think I’d go back to eat there."

learninghowtofight says: "So what do their bathrooms look like??"

The Modern Toilet isn't the only unusually themed restaurant . Japan's Nyotaimori puts sushi and sashimi inside dough in the shape of a nude woman's body, Cabbages & Condoms in Bangkok, Thailand, offers condoms instead of mints on the way out the door, and Eternity in Truskavets, Ukraine, is a windowless building shaped like a giant coffin.
