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.

Reply to this commentWhat a crappy post!
Reply to this commentHeh, nice.
As for the toilet themed restaurant, I’d have to say NO.
Reply to this commentThat is one dot pho or dump that I am glad I missed!
Reply to this commentThey should implement this in FEAR FACTOR
Reply to this commentI’d second that…
Reply to this commentThat has to be the weirdest theme for a restaurant ever… but a dog would love it!
Reply to this commentThat’s gross, seeing the toilet seat I feel like pukin in it!
Reply to this commentTotally 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.
Reply to this commenthey john tell me truth, when you saw the food inside the toiled did you feel sick?
Reply to this commentI bet he didn’t… It does feel weird though…
Reply to this commentDidn’t felt sick at all. We had a great time. The food was good!
Reply to this comment“Hi, this is John Chow. I’d like to reserve a toilet for 4, non-smoking. Thanks.”
Reply to this commentIt looks like someone blew some chunks in the toilet. At least you wouldn’t have to run far if you felt sick
Reply to this commentHey, 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!
Reply to this commentWhat the hell had happened with this blog?!
Reply to this commentIt went down the toilet!
Reply to this commentHahaha…nice one
Reply to this commentI actually laughed out loud.
Reply to this commentlol lol and lol
Reply to this commentThat 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 
Reply to this commentugh
Reply to this commentWhen I come to visit Vancouver, I hope its not on a dot com Dump day.
Reply to this commentOh… My… God.:shock:
Reply to this commentDude 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?
Reply to this commentOh no … no way im gonna eat from that stuff!!! *haha*
Reply to this commentIn Oporto there’s a restaurant that does that too.
Reply to this commentI’ve seen many crazy here in USA and in Brazil however I’ve never seen something as crazy as this restaurant.
Reply to this commentI 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!!
Reply to this commentHey! 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.
Reply to this commentyes true–
also read in the news

Reply to this commentI simply couldn’t eat food from a toilet — even if it is a restaurant gimmick. Truly a case of “to each his own.” Uggghhhh!
Reply to this commentYuwanda
They should give you a plunger, with the meal, for memorabilia for visiting.
Reply to this commentand do you wipe your mouth with toilet paper?
Reply to this commentNo! They use a Bedet.
Reply to this commentAs a plumber I find that funny as heck……lol
Reply to this commentYuck.. I won’t eat at that restaurant..
Reply to this commentReminds 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.
Reply to this commentLOL, So funny plates
Reply to this commentROFL MAO…literally
Reply to this commentMy wife would never eat at this place in a million years and I’m not sure I would.
Reply to this commentThat is just nasty…
Reply to this commentAwesome 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.
Reply to this commentThe 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!
Reply to this commentThere is one theme I don’t think we will see spread around the US.
Reply to this commentI gotta tell ya, these videos are becoming more and more interesting!
Reply to this commentThat restaurant is the shit! By the way, what do they have in the bathrooms?
Reply to this commentProbably plates, forks, and knives. Ouch!
Reply to this commentJohn,
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…
Reply to this commentI wonder after seeing this video will anyone open up a franchise in America or Canada

Reply to this comment…Shhhhh!
Reply to this commentok 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
Reply to this commentFunny dinner
What was in the toilet instead a w.c.? A bowl? A dish? 
Reply to this commentI like that “toilet bowl” like soup, its very funny that while you eat you think of something dirty.
Reply to this commentThere is something disturbing about this.
Reply to this commentJohn,
Holy smokes…I am NOT going to reserve a table there. It’s just wrong man

Reply to this commentThat’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.
Reply to this commentThat 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..

Reply to this commentI dont think I will be able to eat even a single morsel in a toilet seat.
Reply to this commentSeriously? 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.
Reply to this commentThe concept, in my opinion, is a bit avant-garde for the US, but I enjoyed the post. Entertaining.
