Modern Toilet Restaurant , Taipei (便所主题餐厅)

Modern Toilet, a toilet-themed dining place in Taiwan. All seats are made from toilet bowls and not chairs. We were all seated around a bathtub (this is our table) surrounded by toilet bowls (our chairs). Interesting huh! The food is served in individual toilet bowl (the main dish) with few side dishes along . Our desserts, ice-cream and ice-shaved fruit platters serve in squat toilets. The ice-cream is shaped like faeces... yulky but we are game to give it a try! haha.. The children especially find it very fun to be there. The pricing is reasonable, you can choose from Ala-carte or set menu, priced at abt SG10 - 15 bucks. It was indeed an unusual dining experience for us.

See their website for more branches.

Hello Kitty Cafe, Taipei

Kitty Cafe Taipei Taiwan
Hello Kitty Sweets

台北市大安路一段90號
90 Da'An Road (across the road from 45 Zhongxiao East Road (Sec. 4) Sogo department store)


Hello Kitty Sweets Cafe opened it's business since January 2008. Their business is so good that you've to make a reservation in advance just to make sure you get a table! Lucky we have our sil who is a taiwanese who helped us to arrange our luncheon there on one of our days in Taipei. We managed to get a table for 12 of us after an hour of waiting though we have made our reservation ahead. So, please book before you go otherwise you will have to wait hours as this cafe is very popular among locals and tourists as well! Gosh, this is crazy! The cafe is so pretty decorated, from the entrance to the dining areas with Hello Kitty picture frames. There are 2 storeys in all. The stairs leading to 2nd floor, the lightings, tables, chairs, the walls, cutleries all so beautifully display. The Hello Kitty cakes; big or small are just too pretty to be eaten. We went 'Wow and Wow!' at those cakes and dessert stuff! For sure we took as many pictures as we could..btw, min dining per pax is NT300. That's equivalent to about SG15.

I will let the photos do the talking here...

Back from Taipei!

Have not been active in blogging..needless to say no baking for quite sometimes too. Health is the main reason.. for 2 to 3 months, on and off I was feeling giddy and head was spinning terribly. I have consulted my family doctor and gynae several times, from taking blood tests, whole body check-up to scanning. I have to reassure I am alright. Well, things didn't look quite bad, scanned result showed that I ve a cyst and a fibroid. My fibroid is harmless and as long as is not growing, gynae advised me to leave it alone first. It was the cyst that is giving me the problem and i had to get it remove by taking a 10days medication course. It did remove but it affected my menstrual cycle, my period lasts at least 10 days instead the normal 4 days now, and my flow is excessively heavy, running like a tap sometimes... Thus, it lead to loss of too much blood every month. Medical report shows I have low blood and everyone commented I'm looking too pale. Doctor prescribed Iron tablets for me to take daily and I will be seeing her in a month time to have my body check again. I m relieve that I m feeling much better, praying hard my health will get better day by day.

Christmas is coming!! Guess I will not be able to bake as much as last year, probably just two logcakes for 2 invited parties :)

Well yes, I was away for holiday with my hubby, 2 children along with my bil's families in Taipei. The lucky thing is I was very well thru out the whole trip! I standby my medicines but didn't need it at all. Thanks GOD! I truly enjoyed my trip! Will be downloading some of the photos soon to share with everyone :)

Home-Cooked Luncheon

My colleague, LT, also my lunch kaki has gone for a holiday break last Wed and will only be back next Wed. Didn't want to lunch alone outside, I prepared some simple one-dish meal and brought to work on Thu and Fri, and I will continue to do so till next Wed when she is back to work :)

Very simple dish, I made Spaghetti for Thurday. Some olive oil to brown the minced garlic, lots and lots of it..added some Honey Chopped Ham and a handful of beansprouts. Seasonings wise is very simple, salt and pepper, and added a tablespoon of hot pepper sauce. I know we don't add beansprouts into Spag but I just love the crunch and as long as is yummy, who cares right! hahaha.. I sprinkled some seaweeds mix as toppings and sliced few pcs of Japanese cucumber to go along. I used my hp to take the pic, so is not so clear :)






For Fri, I made Minced Meat to eat with Rice. Is good enough and very filling. Oh, I love the Spicy Hae-bee-Hiam. I added a few tablespoon into my rice, oh gosh, is so delicious!
