Suitcase Stories: Taiwan (Modern Toilet)

Heyy!!

A unique dining experience. That's what I call our dinner at Modern Toilet.

We decided to celebrate my little sister's birthday at Modern Toilet. At first, you'd be weirded out by the name but when you get to the place itself, you'd totally understand.

The whole restaurant is themed around an actual toilet. That may be disgusting to some, but for me, it was so fun and so unique!

Here's the logo of the restaurant. I wished they would have gone with the iconic men-and-women-bathroom-sign. That would have had more of an effect on people.

But the best part of the restaurant, in my opinion, are the seats.
Yes, those are actual toilets that you sit on! Cool, huh? But don't worry, I tried opening it and no, it isn't actually attached to a sewer system.

So, if the chairs are toilets, then what did they use for tables?
Bathtubs! They used bathtubs with glass on top for the table.

They even filled it with flowers to make it a little bit more pleasant. Rubber duckies would have been more theme-appropriate.

They had little "poop" and toilet decors all around the whole place.

Attached to the wall is a faucet and some toilet paper and a loofa! The faucet didn't work, though.

The dishes look like mini toilets. It's not too much like a toilet that makes it disgusting but it has enough details so that you would know what it was.

I had a black mini toilet and I ordered the something-curry.

Side view! :)

Evey meal comes with a free ice cream. It only had one flavor but it would have been cuter if the flavor was chocolate.

I didn't know what the dish for the ice cream was supposed to be. Do you?

Anyways, we got some legit milk tea and headed on the bus to go home!

Hope you like!

ps:
if your friend used the orly bonder, that is a biotch when it comes to nail stains!

it does make the polish last, no chipping up until day 4 pero once you remove it you'll have nails that looks like they suffer from hepatitis na!haha

water nail decal is the main culprit kya i have bad nail stains e

I heard a lot about it! :) Last photo is cute!

Michelle said...

@Slo: I've never even heard of this up until the day we went there! =))

@thiamere: Yup! The food isn't as good as you would think it is.

Oh, maybe that's why. It left an impression that I should stay away from Orly. Now I know. Thanks!

@Ar-Ar: It's cause there's really a lot to say about the restaurant. Thanks, dear!

Pammy said...

That was a crazy theme! Definitely not for people with very wild imagination like me. Haha! :P

Michelle said...

@Hollie: I know! I wanted to take one home!

@Lee: I was kind of disappointed/relieved that it wasn't chocolate flavored!

@Pammy: Yep! It definitely isn't suited for some people! But you should definitely at least try everything once!

Aya said...

Haha cooooool! LOL at the large poop decor :D

Michelle said...

@abby: Yup! And brave too! I imagine not everyone should respond positively to this.

@Aya: I know right? But I don't think I can eat properly while staring at that the whole time!

sugar sugar said...

@Tiff: The food was okaayy but it was the decor that got me. :))

I love Modern Toilet! Its like a tourist spot already. :) We went to the Modern Toilet in Mongkok but it closed down this year. So sad. I guess people don't really go there to eat but to take photos. :-)

Michelle said...

@sarah: I totally understand! It's doesn't work for everybody. Bidet? Is that what you call that? I'll keep that in my pocket for future use.

@Kristine: What?? I didn't know they had one in Mongkok!! Maybe it's cause it's under-advertised. If I woulda known, I wouldn't have waited until our trip to Taiwan to visit this restaurant.

The Glamarazzi said...

It is! Quite remote actually. But the one in Causeway Bay is still open so I guess we have something to look forward to in HK again Modern Toilet-wise :)

Michelle said...

I don't think I'm going back. Once is enough and I didn't really enjoy the food. Once I have sat on those toilet seats, I think I'm good. :)
