Taiwan Eats: 3 Taiwan's Unique Themed Restaurants

If you want to experience dining in a "different" type of setting, you can go to Taipei. The city is apparently filled with bizarre yet interesting restaurants.

1. Hello Kitty Restaurant

If you are a fan of this cat, you will go ecstatic at the restaurant. Hello Kitty is basically the owner of the place and you can see her everywhere including the toilet.

2. Modern Toilet Restaurant

If you ever feel like trying to dine inside toilet, this is where you should go. Modern Toilet Restaurant brings toilet to a new level. They even use toilet bowl as a plate/ bowl to serve the dish. Poop-shaped ice cream anyone?

3. Jay Chou's Secret Themed Restaurant

Have you watched the movie called Secret (Bu Neng Shuo Mi Mi)? If yes, you sure can relate to the atmosphere of one of Jay Chou's restaurants in Taipei. The restaurant even keep the piano they use in the filming of the movie.

4. Carton King

Carton King lets customers experiencing eating in a set up whereby everything is made out from carton. Let's just pray that the carton seats are strong enough to support our butt after we have finished eating. Hahaha.

Taipei Eats: Mr J French-Italian Restaurant: The Food

What else to discuss after we talked about the atmosphere and the direction to the restaurant? Of course THE FOOD! Yum!

The restaurant serves lunch set which comes with bread, daily soup, salad, dessert (cake) and beverages. No worry if you can't read Chinese because as you can see, it has English translation! Yeay!

In general, the food taste okay. I suppose this is the kind of place where you spend your money more for the atmosphere instead of the food. If you are a fan of Jay Chou then you will feel that it's worth your money. =P

Taipei Eats: How to go to Mr J French-Italian Restaurant?

The most important question is how to find the restaurant. Not so easy after all (at least for me). If you take a cab it's probably gonna be easier provided that the cab driver knows the way and you are willing to pay. Cabs in Taipei are not exactly cheap.

Since my friend and I were going from near my place at Taipower Building MRT Station, we took bus no 1 from opposite 7-11 (a few minutes walk from exit 4 of the MRT station) to reach the nearest stop near the restaurant, Taipei Medical University Hospital (臺北醫學大學/ Táiběi yīxué dàxué). This is how the building looks like, the sky is awesomely blue that day. =)

If you walk towards the right side of the hospital, you will see the university building. And yes, you need to go through the university complex to reach the restaurant.

Let's take a walk before eating....

Awww I had nice feeling from the place somehow.

Just opposite the clock tower, you'll find out that you have arrived at the restaurant. Ta-dahh!

Hopefully the above guideline is kinda helpful (I know it's not very comprehensive per se). Hahaha.

My friend was visiting me for summer break and since it's her birthday, I brought her to one of Jay Chou's restaurants for a small birthday celebration. Yeah, it kinda gives me a reason to come to since there's no way I visit this kind of place by myself. Weird much, right? #pityantisocialme

I have to say it took me awhile to research how to go to this restaurant because of the location. We took bus no.1 from bus station opposite 7-11 at Taipower Building MRT station area (exit 4) and alighted near Taipei Medical University Hospital at Xinyi District. I'm gonna create another post on how to locate the restaurant from the university since it will be easier to show by pictures. For now, let's go inside! =)

The restaurant is pretty cozy and it's not too crowded at 3pm on a weekday. We ate quite late because my class is only finished around 1plus. Hungryyyy~~~

Since the restaurant is themed around one of Jay Chou's movies called Secret (不能說的秘密/ bùnéng shuō de mìmì), of course you will see the screenshot from the movie all around the place. Fyi, the movie is quite nice to watch. Hehehe.

The famous piano which can bring you to the past if you play it. =P

Famous quote from the movie, which I think I saw on the toilet door..hmm..I suppose it should still be romantic?

The place serves alcohol too for dinner time. I suppose it will be kinda romantic to drink here at night time. <3
