Restaurant review: the Toilet Diner


Agent 78 alerted Walt to the opening of a new restaurant in the exotic city of Kunming, capital of China's Yunnan province. The restaurant is, it must be said, even more exotic than the city. Welcome to Modern Toilet Restaurant!

As you can see, diners at the Modern Toilet eat on seats converted from western-style toilets. (Chinese toilets are not designed for sitting on.) Urinals are turned into decorative wall lamps. And please note the design of the cushions on the seat backs. Yes, that's "Happy Poo"!

Speaking of which, signature dishes include “excrement ice cream”, “toilet bowl hot pot” and “fried poo sticks”.

Owner Xu Liang says the restaurant has proved more popular than expected with students, in particular, keen to try the experience. Yang Siwen is a regular customer, having eaten at the restaurant three times since it opened two weeks ago. “I originally went in because I thought it was a toilet but then discovered it was a restaurant and decided to give it a try,” she said.

As business is booming, reservations are recommended.
