Wallwork Walkabout: Part 2- Modern Toilet

 For lunch on Katie and Candace's first day in Taiwan, we went to Modern Toilet.

Modern Toilet is a theme restaurant I saw online listed under "Weirdest Restaurants" years ago. I saw that it was located in Taiwan and never thought I would ever have the opportunity to go.

When it became clear to me that I would be coming to Taiwan, I immediately googled this place and sent the link to Craig. He was excited. But not as excited as me.

I remember running to every member of my family and showing them the pictures and talking it up.

"All the chairs are toilets with funky seats and they use old bath tubs as tables..."

They looked at me strangely.

"And the best part is that for dessert, they serve you chocolate ice cream in a toilet bowl. It's all swirled and looks like poop!"I

"That's disgusting!" my mom said. "Why would you want to eat there?"

"Why wouldn't  I want to eat there?"  I responded.

So it became a mission. A mission to eat at this strange restaurant found in the heart of Taipei.

A mission we accomplished.

I'm so stoked in this picture! This picture is years in the making.

This was all downstairs near the entrance to the restaurant. There were tons of cute areas for photo ops.

There were shower heads set up on the walls, and old bath tubs and sinks with plexiglass over the top as tables

All of the toilet seat lids were super retro and funky. My seat was ocean themed and had fish.

This is a  bit embarrassing.  No privacy to be had.

 I got the pasta with bacon, but it became pretty clear that you don't go to Modern Toilet to eat the food. You go to eat a meal while sitting on a toilet seat.

Favorite quote of the meal:

Katie: This is starting to hurt. I'm not used to sitting on a toilet seat this long.

Cue our juvenile giggles.

For an extra $1, you can drink your soda out of your very own collectible urinal. It was awesome!

Craig's bread roll looked like a giant pile of poop. He said later that he couldn't get past it, and didn't eat very much of it.

The french fries and mozzarella sticks (which I heard were awful) were served out of ceramic squatter toilets. Classy.

Katie and Candace kept giggling, while I sad a serious case of Perm-A-Smile.We were cracking up the entire meal.

Dessert was a smelly affair, with ice cream that was more ice than cream.

It was a crazy cool place to eat. It's a place I would definitely take visiting friends, but not somewhere I want to eat every time I'm in Taipei.
