Weekend Food Tripping at: Modern Toilet Restaurant


You read it right!!! Toilet and Restaurant goes in one sentence! LOL
We've seen about this toilet restaurant over email, I think they have it in Japan? Not sure. But when we were in HK, we were handed out a tissue pack advertising the Modern Toilet Restaurant! We were so intrigued we have to look for it! :)

It isn't hard to find the restaurant, it's located at Causeway Bay at the 4th floor of the same building as the biggest Watson's Store in that area. They have a total of 2 branches in Hong Kong. Causeway Bay and Mongkok Branch. I love how cute the ambiance is, yes, it should be gross but I find it super cute!
Menu




Our seats
Table has a basin
Shower and even shampoos!
Look at our seats! I love it!
They use real toilets!




Closeup on our toilet seats
The seat cover is removable!
You can really do your thing there
IF YOU DARE! lol



They also have Sauna seats
Imagine your first date?
and you're both inside a Sauna?
Don't tell your mom!! lol



Cute decorations!
Sad to say, they don't sell these!
They should...cause,
"I want to buy SHIT!" :P



Here's a cute table setting
that greets us!



And let's talk about our orders!
I love the presentation
Gave us the kicks and laughs!

Stone Grill Chicken
HKD58 / Php370 / USD8.25



Braised Pork Ball
HKD55 / Php357 / USD7.80




Sliced Beef and Mushroom
in Kimchee Soup
HKD50 / Php325 / USD6.90



Marton No. 5 Ice Cream
HKD18 / Php117 / USD2.50




Overall experience? WONDERFUL! We had a blast laughing and talking about how cute the place is, how cute the presentation is, great customer service!

But how about the taste of the food?

BLAHHHHH!!!! It lacks taste and it's actually not that good! LOL We were joking around that since we're eating in a toilet, we're eating crap! LOL To be honest, it's worth the experience, first timers would enjoy this but I would say I'm not dining there again because the food is not great! But I'm only joking about eating the CRAP. The food tastes like food but nothing outstanding!
---------------------------------------

You know what I've realized about HK after staying there for 4 days? It's not easy to look for places to eat! Since HK is such a small place, restaurants are jampacked in one building and there's so many people eating at the same time, you really have to line up! Gosh! I've never felt so hungry in my life when I was in HK! LOL When it's time to eat, the restaurants are just hidden, nowhere to be found!

Anyways, it was a great dining experience! It'll be fun to see such cute themed restaurant down here! I'm sure everyone would want to have the experience on eating in a Moderm Toilet Restaurant! :D

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Are you still hungry with my food post?
Or have you lost your appetite?

:P
Keep smilin'
Stay Happy!

  6. Haha... I'd read about this one and I'm gratified to know that the food fails to live up to hype. Most of these places tend to be like that. :)

  20. Oh I went to the Mongkok one and I also found one toilet restaurant in Taiwan. Only the one in Taiwan is more kawaii for the decorations :D. Again, the food doesn't taste that great.. Nevertheless, I agree on getting the experience part ^^ It was fun!

    ReplyDelete
  21. I don't think I can eat here! But the place is really cute.

    ReplyDelete
  22. hey i've read about this restaurant in a comiczine before. OMG just coz the food look like shit doesnt mean they taste should too. well at least u had a fun experience!

    But I pass, no way im gonna have my food served in a toilet bowl! Toilet restaurant is an oxymoron. Period.

    btw, the cute poop reminds me of Arale in Dr. Slupmp. ;)

    ReplyDelete

    Jenn, really?? I guess they do franchise? Hmm..I hope they'll ahve it here in Manila, but have to cook the meals better!

    Christie, yes you can, but I'm sure you'll lose appetite!

    HaNNa_HuLLaBaLoo , the experience is definitely 100% great, the food..well i'll give it 50%

    ♥Leigh♥ , though food isn't that great, we didn't feel bad, we stayed there chatting for more than an hour, imagine that? hahah

    ReplyDelete
  30. i dont think i could eat at this place haha
    but its nice to see pics!

    ReplyDelete
  31. OMG!!!! I've heard of a place (or, maybe it's the same place) like this but I've never seen the food before!!! That's amazing, you would never see anything like that here in the US. I would totally go, just to say I went- but I would take your advice and just go for the fun factor, not particularly the food :)

    ReplyDelete
  32. No, they did not! I am quite obnoxious when it comes to bizarre restaurants, ex, toilet is on the top list. Yeah, I go washroom everyday and remember the stuff when I flush them down.... Not to gross you out. :) However, since the food is average, I think teh theme is more appealing. I would never go there to eat as I really would throw up since I regard toilet as a gross place.. haha

    ReplyDelete
  33. ugh! the ice cream looked really gross!

    very challenging to dig into:p

    ReplyDelete
  34. Jo, aww thanks for trusting me when I say it doesn't work!

    Yumeko, yes you can! LOL I will take you there if we have the chance to visit HK together! :)

    Tanya, lol yup, and to be honest, it doesn't look that gross as we imagine, but gosh, they should have done something about the quality of food!

    Vivian, lol I am laughing at your comment, you feel strongly about the concept of this restaurant~

    jillsabs, hahaha I am having a laugh at the reactions of my dearies!!! At least I don't make my readers feel hungry in this post!

  37. Connie!!! I never intended to order any ice cream! I have a feeling that it won't be amazing in taste after the main dish, but I have to! It's too funny and cute! LOL
