Modern Toilet is a restaurant chain with currently twelve branches in Taiwan and Hong Kong , whose rooms are themed like bathrooms and whose typical Asian dishes are served in miniature toilets and urinals.

concept

Everything in the restaurants is based on bathroom items. The wall tiles, arranged like a chessboard, are decorated with shower heads, suction bells hang from the ceiling and the lighting is modeled on the shape of faeces . Visitors sit in real toilets that have been converted into chairs at tables whose glass tops are held by sinks . The meals themselves are prepared in proper style and served in miniature plastic toilet bowls. The drinks are served in miniature urinals that visitors can take home as souvenirs. The owner of the chain, Wing Zi-Wei, a former banker, was inspired for his concept by the Japanese cartoon robot character Jichiwawa . Wing Zi-Wei started out successfully in his own shop selling ice cream, which he served in small squat toilets made of paper. This way of serving ice cream was also retained in the later-established Modern Toilet restaurants. In Taiwan itself, gastronomy with unusual themed concepts is not uncommon; other restaurant concepts are based on prisons or hospitals, for example.
