I've visited many many restaurants and cafe's in Asia that you would never find in New Zealand - I've visited two Hello Kitty Cafe's, a Charlie Brown Cafe, numerous super girly and fairly tacky Italian restaurants in Korea, restaurants with swings instead of chairs and I will NEVER forget the maid cafe I visited in Tokyo - that was one of the strangest experiences of my life.
However - a few weeks ago I had a whole new dining experience at the "Modern Toilet Restaurant" in Taipei. Yes, that's right, a toilet themed restaurant.
The food at the restaurant was actually pretty good, so many themed restaurants have terrible food. However, there did seem to be a lot of curry on the menu which I guess fits with the toilet theme.
So let's start with the entrance to the restaurant - it's true they can make anything in asia cute. Including toilets and poo.

Next up is the menu, some restaurants use little symbols to indicate which meals are popular - guess what symbol was used to show popularity in the Modern Toilet Restaurant.
Just in case you're wondering what you sit on in a toilet restaurant -here it is! Toilets with delightfully tacky lids. I think my was sunflowers. I know Lisa was very patriotic and got to sit on the American Flag.
Next up is the food - here's Rich enjoying his curry directly from a toilet shaped plate.
Here's my dinner - its gratin in a bath tub! I actually thought the bath tub was pretty cute.
Here's the little envelope our spoons and chopsticks arrived in - it's pretty cute but I think kissing a toilet is always a bad idea.
We all bought meals from the set menu, which meant we all had dessert. In the form of an ice cream served in a squatter toilet.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIbZOUWuZvpN87FRlwMHm9Slk5ib-fb1GvH_oqPPTuA9Ht0xqh2jBqW9lKOlJ4RH67QTw19fY2pljoFjgVuevIBoLK65ZJqKHDOshp5XfNLSR3_j8k3_sCx0rcVBuxzKgngIbiGQ/s320/DSCF1027.JPG)

No toilet plate is complete without a poo shaped warming cover.
As we were leaving I decided to have a photo taken with the pink poo mascot outside the restaurant.
Here's a photo of Lisa and I outside the restaurant - if you ever want to visit the modern toilet in Taipei , just looke out for the giant toilet.
So you would think that visiting a toilet restaurant would fill our quota of strange dining experiences for one night.We thought so too - until we found this sign.
