世界新聞專欄 CNNGO票選台灣廁所餐廳為怪異主題餐廳

World's weirdest themed restaurants

Freak eats -- places where the quality of the food is the least of your concerns

Toilet

Modern Toilet: Taipei, Taiwan

Modern Toilet is so famous these days that calling it weird seems unoriginal. The descriptions may be tired, but they are true.

Harnessing the hitherto untapped potential of using the bathroom as a venue for dining, the restaurant is a scatological fantasyland. Owner Wang Zi-Wei has stated that his inspiration came from a robot character in a Japanese cartoon who loved to "play with poop and swirl it on a stick."

It’s not all about the excrement however. Gratins are served in miniature bathtubs while drinks come in pint-sized plastic urinals. The pièce de résistance is the chocolate ice cream, which is swirled to give it the appearance of, yep, you already got it.

Guolizhuang: Beijing, China

There’s a members-only policy here but it refers to the food, not the patrons. Penises of every shape, size and variety are served up at this genitalia-obsessive emporium.

While the restaurant may be single minded in its focus, its chefs seem to know how to keep things interesting. The hot pot is an especially virile concoction, containing 10 appendages from different animals. Other dishes include "Jasmine Flowers with 1,000 Layers" and "Look for the Treasure in the Desert Sand."

While the exotic names are undoubtedly alluring, you get the sneaking suspicion that they were dreamed up as a ruse to make sliced donkey penis and sheep testicals curry seem more appealing.

美國有線電視新聞網CNN旗下的生活旅遊網CNNGo，在10日選出9家全球最怪異的主題餐廳，其中台灣的「便所主題餐廳」(Modern Toilet)因巧妙結合各式馬桶造型的餐具、擺飾、座椅等，名列全球最怪餐廳排行榜。

浴缸、洗手台擺上一塊透明玻璃化身為桌子，馬桶蓋經過一番彩繪後，變身成有藝術氣氛的椅子，其他像縮小版的坐式或蹲式馬桶、小便斗、尿壺等，都能成為特色餐具、裝飾品，讓你體會在廁所吃東西的美妙滋味。
