Can I order a poop platter?

Taiwan's Modern Toilet Restaurant

Just a moment ago, a friend and I went to this popular typical noodle shop near my place and we ordered this combination of beef, wonton dumplings, intestines, liver and other icky looking stuff with yellow flat noodles in spicy sauce but it tastes really really good. It’s been about three consecutive nights that I’ve been eating the same kind of noodles.

When I eat noodles, I’d usually add an extra scoop of spicy sauce to taste it even more delicious. Super HOT that can burn your lip. I’d felt better because it’s perfect with the hot sauce. I said, “I am a Bicolano, adding hot sauce or chili in my food is part of being a pure blooded Bicolanos. I grew up eating spicy food.”

Literally, it’s bearable to eat spicy noodles and I have no problem with that, except that I really really suffer from ring sting the next day in a toilet bowl for hours because I had the agony to poop right. It’s as if my lower abdomen gets very bloated and full of gas. My lower back started hurting me because of this bloating. I have very smelly gas as well. There seems to be some kind of blockage in my intestine or stomach when it gets very full and bloated.

What’s worse is that, when you look at your poop, it’s yellowish-brownish-darkish in color you-don’t-want-to-know what kind food you stored inside your stomach - it looks like the food is not getting properly digested. When you do go to the bathroom, you may feel like you have to work really hard to get the poop out, and it may hurt a little to go. And when you finally pushed the shits out, a super-fouly-smell is going to make you say “Amazing Grace”.

Speaking of gross, I found this picture that made me really laughed because it’s so unique and for a minute, I’d felt like I wanna throw up.

Happy Pepto weekend! Eating spicy food in moderation is the way to keep a starfish smiling.

    Fecophelia… I don’t know. Really doesn’t make me want to eat anything.

      Range, fecophilia is the right word for it but I thought it looks appetizing to sit on a toilet bowl seeing a noodle swimming in a toilet bowl plate. But do you know that I worked in a hospital when I was in college and it was even worst - cleaning poop of patients from the bedpans sometimes without a rubber gloves on a daily basis makes you kinda skip to eat lunch afterwards (of course, with 10mins hand scrubbing, you can still smell it) might lose your appetite? I think the sense of sight rather is the perfect power than any other in distinguishing something that makes us react differently than actually tasting it.

      Hahaha. Sorry if I screw up your meal with this post.

    Eeeewwww….that’s gross, they have a toilet-looking bowl. Ibang klase ha, so unappetizing! You’re so funny K, “When you do go to the bathroom, you may feel like you have to work really hard to get the poop out, and it may hurt a little to go. And when you finally pushed the shits out, a super-fouly-smell is going to make you say “Amazing Grace”..LOL!!!

      Hahahaha Nurse Diane, what you see in that resto is what you’re NOT going to (or think it is) get, of course. I think that poop-looking bread tastes like any other bread and it would look perfect with a butter on top too. True, diba kapag ebak na ebak ka na, kapag nilabas mo ng buo, gaan ng feeling?

      Trench, you mean you tried eating a poop? JOKES. But never would I want to taste a fried grasshopper where you can find in Thailand. It’s exotic, sure it tastes good (I heard) but a grasshopper?

      Thank you for stepping on the poop by visiting here.

      Malen, good for you (pun intended) tamang tama sa diet yan. Hahaha. Well it reminds me of that Pinoy Commercial, a guy who can’t hold his shits and finds out there was no toilet paper left and uses his bus ticket ata to clean his hole? Parang ganun, I forgot. What’s that na nga?

    I posted about this not too long ago at Laovoices and it amazed me what people would come up with, I thought the toilet restaurant theme was rather interesting, but I don’t think I would be able to eat there. I also like spicy food, the spicier the better.

      Ginger, I would. I think it’s the most weirdest restaurant on the entire planet. I didn’t think a toilet bowl can be an interesting dining set, huh?

  7. Wavatar Iris on 08.03.2008 at 20:28 Post reply

    who would want to eat from that!? ibang klaseng marketing ploy yan ah, pero im not so sure if that’ll work :)

    1. Wavatar K on 09.03.2008 at 01:12 Post reply

      Iris, I am actually interested in ordering their variety of desserts. Maybe they have poop menus such as Kids Poop ice cream in a diaper set? Hahahaha.

    Hey K, you didn’t ruin my lunch.

    I’m not surprised though that it exists. You’ll find anything in HK and Taiwan. If someone thinks about it, you’ll find it.

      That’s good to know. I have actually find it gross people eating snake in soup or congee here during winter months. You can actually order a live snake and witness how they ‘murder’ them and cook it infront of you. Barbaric but it’s popular around here. I can’t eat them. Yuck.

    I ate spicy noodles last night on a whim even if I knew spicy food and my stomach don’t make a good pair. Let’s just say, i’ll wait another year before I eat spicy noodles again. :lol:

    Even if that poop-looking thing in the pic is chocolate, I probably won’t eat it.

      Jayme, I think I would eat it anytime than being chicken out eating a balut, hehehe.

    K, you were so brave in posting this article…ha ha. though you didn’t ruin my appetite, in fact, i am finishing my dinner.

    But, honestly, whose tot doesn’t smell? especially we, filipinos, whose diet is made up of mainly fish and rice. fish’s tot is so horrible!!!!

    i notice though that when my diet includes lots of raw foods and less on carbohydrates like rice and noodles, i have no trouble going to the bathroom. but, if it is the other way around, gosh, i am forced to recite “ave maria.”

      Belle, gabos na atot mabata maski anong kinaon ta hahaha. One time, I was with a group of people and felt like my toxic gas was going to explode any minute, I hold it for a second pero di kinaya - hinayaan ko na lang na mangamoy sa ere kesa mag-bluish katawan ko pag piniglan ko pa.

      Speaking of udo, how long does it take you to poop? I’d say, just 90 seconds lang but I think girls stays longer, may komiks pang dala.

  11. Wavatar Belle on 11.03.2008 at 10:13 Post reply

    K, i don’t make a habit of staying in the bathroom longer than i should because of two reasons: first, time is precious, and second, the longer you stay, the stinkier the bathroom gets. i actually flush it the moment it drops to cut down the smell especially if there is someone sharing the bathroom with me. pero ang agom ko, horasan, pirming igwang dalang diaryo, kaya pag hari kaan sa kubeta, sus, grabeng hangus!! haha ha.

      Hahahaha Belle, grabeng hangus? Eh kapag bugris ang udo mo, grabing kalat kaan sa toilet bowl. Minsan, pag tubol ang udo ko natalsikan ang lubot ko kapag nag-plok sa inidoro so I put few toilet paper muna tanganing dai matamaan so lubot ko, hahahaha. I had a hard time getting my poop out if I’d use the public toilet (I’d go to hotel toilets mas five star ang feeling) - hirap ilabas pero I can stay longer there.
