Time Machine Dec 2008: Modern Toilet experience

The long awaited Modern Toilet post has arrived. I am sorry it has taken me so long to post. I tried several times to post these back in December, but I am not very computer savy and for one reason or another I just could not get blogger to work in Taiwan at the end and considering I could not read Chinese I could not figure out what to click on to change the site back to English for me. But I digress.... One of the last outings I went on with the ladies was to the restaurant The Modern Toilet. I was really excited about going on this outing because I just couldn't believe it until I saw it. Here is the outside sign advertising the restaurant. The toilet was huge I don't know if you can tell that from this photo, but wow!



Of course we all took a group photo out front. Looking at this picture now makes me miss all of them.



This is the actual front door of the restaurant.



You could choose from various tables to sit at I took several shots because it just seemed so weird to see bathroom items in a restaurant.


The Modern Toilet stays in theme through out the restaurant including the sink to wash your hands.



The seats were a variety of toilets with beautiful seats. There were three toilets per side of the table.



Lunch! Doesn't it look good!


I ordered Thai coconut chicken. Here is my tray of food. The presentation of the food was so funny. The poo in the back was the cover to my soup. The toilet had a top and in the bottom it had a tea light candle burning to keep the food warm. The food was very good.



Here is the hot tea I ordered for my drink doesn't this make you just want to drink? Actually the tea was very delicious.


As part of the meal you get a dessert of soft serve ice cream served in an Eastern toilet. The taste was not the best but the experience was fun.



You could purchase a variety of items for souveniers but this one was the most interesting. You could purchase your own stuffed poo if you so desired. You could also purchase all of the dishes as well. If we had not already had our things packed out I would have bought some but since my suitcases were already overflowing I only bought a toilet magnet.


At the end of the meal I needed to use the bathroom. This restaurant was full of western toilets to sit on so I don't know why I was shocked to find only an Eastern toilet as an option in the bathroom.



After my experience I knew that I had to take the kids on Saturday. I just knew they would love it. We got up on Saturday and headed out to the MRT. I think I was more excited than the kids, but I knew they would enjoy it once they got there.

Here are a few shots of the kids at our table.




Here's a picture of Reagan and Gavin's food they ordered some kind of spaghetti dish. It was a little different than traditional spaghetti. Notice the shape of the dish though.

Keely ordered a cold drink and it was served in this urinal glass. How would you like to drink your drink from something like this? You could have purchased a souvenier glass that was basically a portable urinal, but I just couldn't do it and none of the kids were game either.



Here's a picture of one of the walls. I just loved the graphic. It is funny to see these graphics at a place you eat.

Here's a great shot of Keely trying to look disgusted by the dessert served in Easter toilets. She didn't really eat it she didn't care for the taste.


In the entry way there are a few photo op places. I guess they tried to set up a peaceful place for you to pretend to do your business. Doesn't Gavin look comfortable?


Here's Keely trying to look busy. She's such an actress.


Reagan couldn't do this without laughing. But isn't she just typical Reagan. When I see this photo I immediately hear her giggle in my head.



I took this photo out front at the end of our experience. These are some pretty cheesy photos.
