Los Angeles - UPI
A Los Angeles restaurant named the Toilet Bowl Cafe serves traditional Taiwanese cuisine in toilet-shaped bowls while diners sit on toilet seats. The cafe, owned by Chinese-born restaurateur YoYo Li, is based on popular restroom-themed restaurants in China and Taiwan and features entrees with toilet-related themes such as \"Smells Like Poop,\" which is comprised of braised pork over rice, ABC News reported Wednesday. Other dishes include \"Constipation,\" wheat noodles topped with pork and stir-fried with the fermented soybean paste zhajiang; \"Black Poop,\" a chocolate sundae; and \"Bloody Number Two,\" a vanilla-strawberry sundae. Tony Wei, a Los Angeles resident of Taiwanese decent, said he expects the restaurant to be popular with the Asian community. \"[Asians] just can\'t resist these gimmicky fads involving food,\" he said. \"I, being Taiwanese, also can\'t resist said gimmicky fads. And I would definitely eat at this restaurant as I can\'t resist my people\'s food.\"
