My friend from UP Los Banos (circa 2005) once told me that one of her dream dates is to have a candlelit dinner in the toilet. Who would've thought that her absurd idea will become a successful humorous business spin by 2006?! Read further.
One of the most popular things to do in Taiwan −a land where ingenuity's taken to different levels − is to dine in a themed restaurant. This, in fact, has become a part of most tourists' itinerary. You can choose among the many themed restaurants which are the following:
(1) Hello Kitty Kitchen and Dining
(2) Barbie Cafe - the first Barbie restaurant in the world. This is located near Hello Kitty Kitchen and Dining, so you may want to check both out when you're in the area.
(3) Airbus A380 Restaurant - no turbulence dining in this airplane-themed restaurant ;p
(4) Ninja Restaurant
(5) DS Music Restaurant - hospital-themed restaurant. *Yes, i know! I don't know either, such a misnomer, eh?! ;p*
I've heard they changed this to a Ninja Restaurant (see #4). Not 100% sure about this, though.
(6) Deja vu Restaurant - magic-themed restaurant
(7) Jail - with reminiscences of the Nazis
Gawd, I don't want to be reminded of the Holocaust. I am no way going here. boohoo
But the most popular among all is...
(8) The toilet-themed restaurant known as Modern Toilet.
**Note: (a) Most, if not all, themed restaurants have a minimum amount of order per person. You may want to ask about this especially if you're on a budget.
(b) Some of the abovementioned restaurants may be closed now. As well, there may be new themed restaurants.
Modern Toilet's novel concept has drawn people's attention. It has been featured everywhere in different platforms and has several chains now across Asia.

We went to Modern Toilet's branch in Shilin. We were eyeing to go to their most popular store in Ximending, but we were always too famished leaving us to go to the nearest appealing, packed restaurant. *le sigh* I strongly suggest, though, that you go to Modern Toilet in Ximending since the place seems way prettier and bigger and its building has this huge toilet mounted on its wall.
I knew we reached Modern Toilet when I saw this poop sign. ;p
Way up the restaurant
The interior in this branch is poorly decorated. Look at those wooden floors and partial tiled walls. Meh.
On the contrary, the floors and walls are beautifully tiled in Modern Toilet Ximending.
Modern Toilet Ximending is composed of 2-3 floors. Here in Shilin, it's just one floor and that's about it (see photo #4. That's the entire floor area).
Modern Toilet goods available for purchase
And if you ask me about the food? Not impressive. You are merely paying for the fun experience and instagram-worthy moments. ;)
