There are a lot of Taiwan signature dishes or food from the braised shark fin to some sweets at a stand on a street. The Taiwan railway Bento is one of my recommendation foods on your traveling around Taiwan.

The Bento is a Japanese word. The people in Taiwan are keeping using this word for the lunch box. The Bento in Taiwan is very different from that of Japanese. Bento is just a word for food in the box on the purpose for ___ in Taiwan. They kept the purpose of Bento. Chinese generally prefer the warm food for their dinning anywhere.

The Taiwan railway Bento is warm paper boxed lunch box. A large piece of pork sparerib sweet soy source and anise flavour was topped on the steamed rice fully packed in the box. Some pickled vegetables are sided on the rice.


You can buy this nostalgic Bento (only for Taiwanese and some Japanese) on the Shinkansen in Taiwan and some express trains as Taroko/Puyuma, Tze-Chiang Limited Express, Chu-Kuang express, Jugaung express or at the railway stations.

I love the marriage of the high-technology and very local taste on board.
