I thought I was obsessed with toilets. Go figure. In Taipei they have a growing chain of popular theme restaurants called Modern Toilet. Every food item and every patron is served in a bathroom related fixture filled setting. When I say the food is crappy I mean it only metaphorically, as they are quite fond of “producing” gourmet menu items that have scatological significance and sculptural form. Instead of Ronald McDonald they have…….ewww, I cant even imagine. I’m hesitant to speculate what the sociological meaning behind a culture absolutely giddy with excitement to eat out of replica toilets and order mixed drinks out of plastic hospital urinal containers. I realize we have our share of stupid themed Pirates of the Caribbean places and Jekyll and Hyde Clubs for faux spooky horror and drunken buccaneer dining, all designed to entertain whilst serving you and the kiddies crappy food for a high price. This however takes the restroom themery to a new level of morbid that even I with my IBD cannot fathom. The pictures in this case are worth a thousand words and for the chronically constipated I suppose there is inspiration aplenty.
