Wutaochishangfanbao (taidongchishang)

It's a chain bento restaurant. The pork chop rice tastes very good, and the side dishes like eggs and bamboo shoots are also good. The price is also very cheap. The dried tofu is delicious and very fragrant.

An authentic Taiwan Railway bento. There is a lot of stuff in the chicken drumstick rice. In addition to a big chicken drumstick, there are also dried tofu, pickled vegetables and eggs. One portion is very filling and overall it is good.

Chihshang rice packs are actually train lunch boxes and bento boxes. Chihshang is famous for its delicious rice. But I think it is not as delicious as Northeast rice. Bento boxes are part of Taiwan's railway culture. Although we did not take the train, we passed by here on a day trip, so we still came to visit and eat bento boxes. There are several types of bento boxes, with different main dishes, such as chicken legs, pork, etc. The side dishes are the same, such as pickles, tofu, intestines, etc., rich in content, high cost performance, and the taste is OK. There is a restaurant in the shape of a train, which has a good atmosphere. The small gifts sold in the souvenir shop are quite unique.

The quality is relatively guaranteed during the off-season, but it is said that it tastes bad when there are many people. It seems to have become a must-eat tourist attraction. Many small vendors are supported by the surrounding area, but it is not proud. The price is very affordable. I bought a sea bream bento for NT$90, which is very good.

The story of a fast food lunch box at a train station has become a cultural phenomenon and an Internet celebrity, which is also very unique. The Chihshang lunch box tastes pretty good, and the chicken drumsticks are big. I wish the fast food restaurants here could be so conscientious. The key is that the price is not expensive!

I highly recommend it. The last time I went to Taiwan, the chef took us there. When we went there, we happened to catch up with several tour groups arriving at the same time, so we waited in line for half an hour. But it was still worth it. The bento tasted very good, and the dining environment was also very good. It was originally a restaurant converted from Taitung Railway Station. You can also take pictures after eating.

It is located at the old Taitung Railway Station. Next to it is the tallest hotel in Taitung, Songxia Hotel. This place is very close to the bus station. It is called the Bus Transfer Center. You can take the Taiwan Express to many places around. The most famous place for Chihshang lunchbox is still Chihshang.

Early lunch boxes did not have boxes, so they were not called bento boxes. The dishes and rice were relatively dry, so they could be kept fresh longer. Later, they were replaced with breathable wooden boxes that could inhibit bacteria and absorb excess moisture to make the rice more delicious, and roasted meat, pork and pickles were added.
