The Modern Toilet

A post about toilets in a foreign country could go a lot of different ways, but today we are talking about a restaurant. When we were in the states we came across a blog post about this restaurant called "The Modern Toilet". It looked interesting to say the least, and when we found out there was a location in Taichung we gathered a group of friends and went.

Everything is bathroom related. When you walk in you see this:

Yes, those are toilets you see - they serve as your seats. The tables are made of bathtubs.

Before you eat, wash your hands here:

Quirky, but nothing too weird, right?


Luckily we knew better than to think this was where the bathroom theme ended. Our food was served in this:
That's hot pot served in a toilet shaped bowl (was great hot pot too).

Jeremiah's drink was served in this little portable device:

Dessert - shaved ice with all sorts of sweet things on top - came out in this:


But this is really takes the cake (mom - if you've made it this far in the post I'm impressed, but I can hear your sounds of disgust already at the next one, and I'm sorry):

I would recommend checking one of these restaurants out if you have the opportunity, if only to say you've been.

On a side note, there is a cockroach in our bedroom right now. Jeremiah is trying to catch him for me. I freaked out this morning when I almost sat on it and while I'm getting a little more used to the idea of a humongous bug being in our house, I don't like that he's hiding under our bed and could creep out at any time to chill on me while I'm sleeping. I'll let you know if he gets it for me...

update: after some teamwork, 3 boxes, a broom and a headlamp we got him out. It's now midnight and I'm going to bed!
