Hello All,
Here is a bizzare place to eat:
a Taipei restaurant (this link wrongly states that it's in Japan) where cups look like urinals and bowls like toilet bowls.
How many of you would eat at this place?
Best,
Vasko

Looking at the site's pictures caused a wave of revulsion which simply reading the words of the original post didn't. The question is, as far as I'm concerned, would anyone? (Obviously yes, if the whole thing isn't just a hoax.)
Leaving to one side the hypothetical members of non-mainstream cultures who haven't necessarily evacuated into some sort of similar WC habitually since being housebroken, I suppose you could get used to anything. However, this is something that I feel not a shred of desire to attempt, no matter how ambrosia-like the food & drink.
In fact, if it's real in the first place, maybe they can make a little more money selling any sort of a regular customer list they keep to conmen... :-)

Unlike Ozzy, I feel no revulsion to the place.
I also feel no attraction and would probably eat there only in a desperate attempt to stave off starvation.
Granted, to fly from the USA to Taiwan to eat would be pretty desperate....
I saw this once on the tail end of a national news broadcast. The anchor was chuckling it up because we Americans are anal retentive. I recyle my urinals and basins as outdoor planters for my wife. I can buy a high tech toilet with no flush handle at the local asian store. I can't remember the price but over a grand. In the end if the food was good it wouldn't bother me.

I would indeed go there. Of course I wouldn't sit down and drink tea or eat; I would instead take a lot of pictures, and use them to illustrate some of the high points of Japanese youth culture. Scatology -- not to be confused with eschatology, though I can definitely see how it might fit in -- at its finest. We've discussed the perfect teas here for this environment.

Does anyone have their menu?
the rumor is that the favourite dish is brown pudding ;-)
amazing

It would depend entirely on the quality of the food. Which, likely, is nigh onto shit.
