"There's poop everywhere! Y-u-c-k," says 6-year-old Jordan Lien as he and his family dine at the Modern Toilet, a popular Taiwanese restaurant chain that's expanding into China and other parts of Asia. The boy was looking at the poop-shaped lights and dish covers and the curry on toilet-shaped plates.
Diarrhea for dinner? That's the point. "It's supposed to shock and confuse the senses," says Modern Toilet manager Chen Min-kuang. But as Jennifer Finch, an American who was dining there, described it, "They do it tastefully. It's all very clean."

>> “It’s supposed to shock and confuse the senses,”
If I want my senses shocked and confused, I don’t need to eat out of a toilet. A few minutes of CNN will do it.
Just gross.
You mean the Communist News Network?
Modern Toilet — LOL
Freud would have a ball.
And how is it that the Japanese didn’t think of this first?
>> You mean the Communist News Network?
Yeah, that liberal “movement” is what I was referring to.
If you’re at a restaurant, chances are you are eating from the toilet anyway. Sanitary hands of restaurant staff are far and few between.
“They do it tastefully. It’s all very clean.”
Where is our sense of dignity and civility? This is just a further trashing and degrading of the culture.
Call me a prude but I want niceness and beauty in my life.
Whatever floats your boat. I think I’ll take a pass.
Weird ping
Oh.
Now there is a pass right there. I will take starve for 100$ please.
After reading this post, I have a strange craving for Taco Bell!

Spoilsport. I’ll bet you couldn’t wait to tell the kids there is no Santa Claus, couldya.
It’s not true anyway. :-P I know because there are signs in every restaurant potty room telling the employees to “lave los manos”. Usually the sign is prominently displayed right above the empty soap dispenser.
Silly thats a fiesta bidet bowl from yoshinoya
That is true. I have eaten in expensive restaurants in L.A. where the slightest review will scare off customers to the open kitchen of In N Out Burger in Socal where the kitchen is open for everyone to observe.
I agree.
“Where are they taking Poppie?”
“Well, Poppie got sloppy.” /seinfeld
I see. Then instead of dining at the Taiwanese Potty Palace, perhaps you'd prefer to hop over to Mainland China and enjoy a tubesteak at this specialty restaurant. Like it or not, this really IS their culture. (I have had the beef version in Taiwan. Nothing to write home about.)
The sad thing is all it takes is one set of unwashed hands. Oh, and they’re refreshing the salad bar. And he’s got a cut and happens to have hepatitis B.
Cool. True story.
That is so sick.
