Food.Fun.Stuff: Dinner in a Toilet

Would you eat out of a toilet bowl?? Sounds gross and disgusting, but this is the question that has been popping up all around China with the openings of Modern China. Modern China is a popular Taiwanese restaurant that has sprung up all over China and other parts of Asia. The concept around the restaurant is the toilet. Food is served in a toilet, drinks are served in a urinal and dessert is served in a dish shaped like a squat toilet (*which is largely the way public toilets are shaped in China). A manager at Modern China says "It is supposed to be a shock and confusion to the senses" (*You got that right...) Despite the grossness of its name, the facilities are said to be very clean and things are done in a tasteful manner. Your food is served in a mini (clean;-) toilet bowl and you sip out of your own plastic urinal which is also a souvenir for visitors. The food is far from anything that smells or tastes like the toilet...choices range from pasta to a Mongolian hot pot.

The names of the items in the restaurant is what you really have to get over to enjoy a good meal here especially with desserts named "diarrhea with dried droppings" (chocolate ice cream) and "bloody poop" (strawberry ice cream). Interesting concept...What are your thoughts??
