HONG KONG: Modern Toilet

Concept restaurants have had their highs and now most of them are in their lows. Most of these restaurants are not about the food, people get bored easily. I believe the Modern Toilet can only follow through the same pattern as the past ones. While this concept restaurant is still fairly new and one of the only ones in Hong Kong, there is still quite a lineup during dining hours.
The concept is TOILETS. Nothing BUT toilets. The seats are toilet fixtures, the tables are sinks, the decor uses urinals and plungers, the specialty corner is a bath and shower fixture, the dishes are served on miniature toilets/bathtubs and drinks are served in miniature urinals.

This restaurant originated in Taiwan where all the creative F&B people reside. The food I must say was pretty notorious but the concept is cute. The owners claimed to have thought of this idea while watching Mr. Slump, a popular Japanese cartoon.

The dishes are mainly Asian dishes, serving dishes like Curry, Korean Sorak Pork with rice, Baked rice, Japanese milk hotpot, Szechuan spicy hot pot, etc.

Desserts are however, the most interesting. They had desserts such as chocolate ice cream placed inside a toilet; chocolate ice cream with strawberry drizzle, giving them unappetizing descriptions, bloody poop, stuff like that.
