Samsung and a restaurant in downtown Seoul have just made a ‘brilliant’ partnership which could be perfect in time of Valentine. The restaurant lets customers to order their food, along with their favourite song. The waiter will then bring their food along with a Samsung YP-K5 MP3 player on a stylish box, playing the ordered song. Pretty romantic, isn’t it? It takes advantage of the digital audio player’s music sharing capabilities, so basically, the YP-K5 just plays the song stored on the server.

The question is, will the restaurant prepare an earphone for the couple as well? It wouldn’t be nice to be in a room with each dining table playing a different songs…

Dan Bloom says: “You’ve read about the toilet-bowl theme restaurant in southern Taiwan, reported widely around the world by the news services a few weeks ago.

“The restaurant was so popular among Taiwanese diners, young and old, that the owners opened up a second joint in what they hope will become an islandwide chain, with some franchises eventually in Hong Kong and Japan. Los Angeles or New York? Never!

“Now comes eyewitness news of a small operation in one of south Taiwan’s night markets in Chiayi City, where a pretty woman runs a “squat toilet cup ice cream” dispenser on one of the main shopping streets in town. Passersby have their choice of chocolate or vanilla soft ice cream that is dispensed into light-green squat toilet-shaped plastic cups, seen here, all for a very affordable NT$25, which comes to about 75 cents in American money.”
