Weird and Wacky Food Joints

古怪餐廳大集合

Countries often have strange customs when it comes to eating. One of the world's wackiest restaurants is located right here in Taipei. The Modern Toilet is where you can find food served in containers that look like mini toilet bowls. What's more is that the food is meant to look like feces.

Another quirky eatery to add to the list of unusual restaurants is 's Baggers in Nuremberg,Germany. As the world's first roller coaster restaurant, 's Baggers gives diners a thrill as their orders zip along a special metal track system.

With its touch screen menus, high quality food, and innovative transport system, 's Baggers is a scream.

另一個名列不尋常餐廳的古怪飯館則是位於德國紐倫堡的 's Baggers餐廳。's Baggers是全世界第一間雲霄飛車餐廳，當用餐者所點的食物沿著特殊的金屬軌道系統迅速滑下時，'s Baggers為用餐的人帶來刺激的體驗。
