Flushed with success
A chain of 12 restaurants with a toilet theme has opened in Taiwan.
Seats in the Modern Toilet restaurants are toilet-shaped and napkins are dispensed from toilet rolls on tables.
Food containers are also toilet or wash-basin shaped, and much of the food is made to look like human waste, reports China Photo Base.
The owner claims the edgy nature of the restaurants is attracting younger diners.
"Every detail tells you it's a bathroom, not a restaurant. But it's fun to eat here," said one diner at a Taipei city outlet.

Theme Restaurant in Taiwan
 | This news is rather old (June 2005), but anyhow, there's a chance you may not have heard about this toilet-themed restaurant in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. "Martun" (toilet in Chinese) is a highly popular restaurant in this southern Taiwanese port city. Its specialty: serving food in bowls shaped like Western-style toilets or chamber pots. |
