Taking a Dot Com Dump
written by John Chow on June 8th, 2008
Instead of doing a normal Dot Com Pho, Taipei edition, we decided to do something completely different and take a Taipei Dot Com Dump at the Modern Toilet. The Modern Toilet is an unusual concept to say the least. Instead of normal tables and chairs, guests dine on toilets. They sit on toilets as well. It brings up some very funny Jack Ass moments.
Joining Sarah and me on this Dot Com Dump were the rest of the Dot Com Crew, Stephen Fung, Ed Lau and Michael Kwan. We all took videos of the event. I’m sure they’ll be posting their footage soon. In the mean time, you can check out the first ever Dot Com Dump below.

My country’s moving on up! No more squatting in f’in concrete holes!
ew.. that is gross
btw, i wish i could join as your dot com member john, you surely have good fun on every meet up. tell me if you decided to head over to indonesia John, you are so welcome here
oh and trust me, indonesia is save
i wonder if their motto was “eating while pooping” ew.. can’t believe i’d say this
sorry guys, but and you guys got that shit cream? eww.. sorry if i submit this comment. i just can’t hold it
I understand ur feelings Jack!
lol Even though I’m your neighbor country, I didn’t know Indonesia was safe. Well maybe I was wrong.
What a crappy post!
Heh, nice.
As for the toilet themed restaurant, I’d have to say NO.
That is one dot pho or dump that I am glad I missed!
They should implement this in FEAR FACTOR
I’d second that…
That has to be the weirdest theme for a restaurant ever… but a dog would love it!
That’s gross, seeing the toilet seat I feel like pukin in it!
Totally gross, I wonder if anyone visits the restaurant!
The place is always packed. We had to show up within 15 min of our reservation or we would lose the table, I mean toilets.
hey john tell me truth, when you saw the food inside the toiled did you feel sick?
I bet he didn’t… It does feel weird though…
Didn’t felt sick at all. We had a great time. The food was good!
“Hi, this is John Chow. I’d like to reserve a toilet for 4, non-smoking. Thanks.”
It looks like someone blew some chunks in the toilet. At least you wouldn’t have to run far if you felt sick
Hey, didn’t we just have a blowing chunks post the other day?

Damn, that’s just weird. But I guess it’s the strange things that sell these days, as everyone is frequently looking for something different. But I personally wouldn’t go to that restaurant, H*ll no!
What the hell had happened with this blog?!
It went down the toilet!
Hahaha…nice one
I actually laughed out loud.
lol lol and lol
That looks really funny, especially if you eat hot dog
Indeed, that may look gross for someone (not me
), but the marketing idea is great! People would drop in just to see what’s like. After that it would not be hard to trick them into ordering something 
ugh
When I come to visit Vancouver, I hope its not on a dot com Dump day.
Oh… My… God.:shock:
Dude I would never even get near that even if it’s a 5 star restaurant lol it’d just be way too weird.
That was definitely the most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten out of a toilet.
…wait, what did I just say?
Oh no … no way im gonna eat from that stuff!!! *haha*
In Oporto there’s a restaurant that does that too.
I’ve seen many crazy here in USA and in Brazil however I’ve never seen something as crazy as this restaurant.
I wouldn’t be able to eat if the food was served in a toilet.
Eeew! What a dirty post …john!
i would prefer to remain hungary rather than eating in toilet!!
Hey! I want that toilet!!!
There was a lady here in Kansas who sat on a toilet for several years due to paranoia. She got stuck to the toilet lid because her skin grew to it. I’m not kidding. I blogged about it! It was in our local paper on on the news online.
yes true–
also read in the news

I simply couldn’t eat food from a toilet — even if it is a restaurant gimmick. Truly a case of “to each his own.” Uggghhhh!
Yuwanda
They should give you a plunger, with the meal, for memorabilia for visiting.
and do you wipe your mouth with toilet paper?
No! They use a Bedet.
As a plumber I find that funny as heck……lol
Yuck.. I won’t eat at that restaurant..
Reminds me of the litterbox cake I saw at a party. It was made in a litter box pan and was complete with a scooper and chocolate poops on top. I absolutely could not eat it.
LOL, So funny plates
ROFL MAO…literally
My wife would never eat at this place in a million years and I’m not sure I would.
That is just nasty…
Awesome Video. Wish I was there so I can see the other food that they serve and on what they serve it in. Love the site by the way.
The two funniest things
1. all the asian guys with the cameras at the beginning – reminds me of NYC
2. Eating from the steaming toliet. Classic!
There is one theme I don’t think we will see spread around the US.
I gotta tell ya, these videos are becoming more and more interesting!
That restaurant is the shit! By the way, what do they have in the bathrooms?
Probably plates, forks, and knives. Ouch!
John,
LOL – That’s simply bizzare!
I’ll think twice before eating in to the restaurant – I have to make sure I’ve properly going to the loo at home. Otherwise…
I wonder after seeing this video will anyone open up a franchise in America or Canada
-Mike
…Shhhhh!
ok no offence… but what is it with asians and toilets/toilet related things? Any time i see or read something strange or weird about toilets it is always from somewhere in asia! for example: http://wilhb81ez.blogspot.com/2007/07/witness-worlds-largest-public-washroom.html
Funny dinner
What was in the toilet instead a w.c.? A bowl? A dish? 
I like that “toilet bowl” like soup, its very funny that while you eat you think of something dirty.
There is something disturbing about this.
John,
Holy smokes…I am NOT going to reserve a table there. It’s just wrong man
Joseph Ratliff
That’s weird. I feel like I would be sick because it’d be like eating in the bathroom. And then looking at the toilet seats imagining piss & crap…ugh.
That is funny..
Does it make you want to throw up looking at that little toilet with white and yellow crap in it..
Doe people actually pay to go here and eat.. I bet the owners laugh all the way to the bank..
Mike Greene
I dont think I will be able to eat even a single morsel in a toilet seat.
Seriously? How disgusting. What makes you want to eat out of a toilet bowl? Guess there’s always someone who’ll come up with a stupid idea and someone else that’ll spend money to be part of it. And then a blogger who’ll take photos and blog about it. And an idiot like me who’ll waste time commenting on a concept that’s just wrong.
The concept, in my opinion, is a bit avant-garde for the US, but I enjoyed the post. Entertaining.
