Dinner from a toilet bowl
From correspondents in Taipei
June 30, 2005
From: Reuters

New fad ... throw away your dinner plates, these will soon be seen in all the best kitchens / file DINERS are queueing for hours to eat at a restaurant where meals such as curry and chocolate ice cream are served in toilet bowls

The Martun, or toilet in Chinese, restaurant in the southern port city of Kaohsiung boasts lengthy queues on weekends as diners wait for a toilet seat in its brightly coloured tile interior.
Food arrives in bowls shaped like Western-style toilets or Asian-style "squat pots".

Manager Hung Lin-wen said the original inspiration came from a toilet-shaped spaceship in a Japanese cartoon.

The theme has attracted droves of novelty-seeking young people who come to play with their food and gross out their friends.

"We think the theme is special, and the food is tasty," Hung said.

But no matter how delicious, a few customers still find the combination a little hard to swallow.

"The taste is good, but I still feel disgusted when I look at it," said diner Lin Yu-may.

That's hilarious, and very creative. I mean, it's not like the toilet's are dirty or anything, so I don't find it gross. Now, if they were dirty.. that'd be just disgusting, but otherwise that's pretty neat.

cool! i'd try that out. lets just hope these arn't used toilets. i highly doubt it though.

brown sausage or chocolate ice cream would really be funny to eat out of it.
