    Just like in Japan, Taiwan has its very own train bento food culture. So today we’re taking the high speed train in Taiwan, and we’re going to order and eat the legendary Taiwanese pork chop train bento. This is truly a train food tradition and it’s said they serve over 10,000,000 of them per year!
    I was leaving from Taipei Main station, so that’s where I bought my bentos. However, certain railroad station throughout Taiwan are known for a certain bento and locals sometimes travel to that station for a taste of the bento.
    I was very happy with the traditional bento, really soothing and comfort food. Thank you for watching this Taiwan train food tour!

    我是台灣人,這個台灣鐵路排骨便當充滿了台灣人的回憶
    “便當”這個文化在台灣與日本歷史悠久
    為了長途旅行而設計的
    我很驚訝你介紹這個食物,因為這非常的在地,可惜並不是很多遊客知道他的歷史

      確實,身為新加坡人,記得小時候去台灣搭火車時只會買壽司。2018年搭阿里山林鐵到奮起湖嘗試奮起湖便當覺得「味道可以耶」。後來就會買台鐵便當了。最近時常從桃園去新竹,如果沒搭區間車,
      必定買便當。

      You are right my friend, traveling is very adventurous and relaxing at the same time but also quite expensive, if not for the help of my financial advisor mr. Tom Lawson, I don’t think I would have been able to finance most of my relaxing vacations.

    There are definitely tastier and more ingredient-filled bento boxes at Taipei Main, but the reason why these bento boxes still survive is because of the nostalgia - they remind people, especially the older generation, of traditional, simpler times. That plus they are cheap, consistent in terms of the flavour and convenient to attain, things that Taiwanese always enjoy. Hope there are more Taiwan videos coming, I love Taiwan!

    The Railway Bento is basic but very affordable. The flavor of the braised pork chop is very unique, many try to replicate the taste but are not very successful. The Hgh Speed Rail company has their own bentos too, slightly expensive and more delicate. They are also delicious but not as famous as the Railway Bento. Just like Mark said, it's because of the nostalgic feelings that last several decades.

    Mark, now we're talking! This is the best part of taking the train (best is the slow train as it gives you more time to enjoy the meal) in Taiwan. I even go to the train station to pick up a pork chop lunch box as my 6 year old loves the lunch boxes (for regular dinner without taking the train). Keep up the good work in sharing the world with us.

    Taiwanese here! First of all, thanks for the amazing videoes as always Mark, it's a pleasure to see you enjoy our culture and food!
    Since I'm currently studying in Taichung, the city Mark takes the HSR (high speed railway, 高鐵) to, here's some info for those who might wanna visit in the future.
    As Mark mentioned, it took him an hour to go from Taipei to Taichung, and that's because he took the HSR, not ordinary train (also known as Taiwan Railway,台鐵). Think of HSR as shinkansen in Japan! It's a lot faster, the space overall is comfier than train, but the fee is understandably higher. HSR from TP to Taichung costs about 23 USD and takes only 1hour, while normal train costs around 13 USD and needs 2~2.5 hours to arrive. There are different types of trains tho, and some of them are faster.
    Most importantly, the railway bento (台鐵便當)! You can basically find them in most of the train stations and HSR stations, and I recommend you to try it if you have the chance. Yes it doesnt come in wide varieties but the price is reasonable, and the quality and taste are also often prasied upon! Even in Taiwan, it's hard to find freshly made bento with meat for just 2USD these days :)
    Lastly, as Mark mentioned, the Taichung HSR station (where he is at the end of the video) seems quite far away from downtown, and that's correct! The thing about Taichung is that both the airport and HSR station are located in the suburbs, so take this into consideration if you're going to take HSR/plane to come here. But the Taichung train station, for ordinary train, is at the center of downtown area, as well as the highway bus station :D

Besides that every time I watch your videos in regards to Taiwan it just makes me really hungry and reminds me how much I've miss my home country. One thing that I want to share with you is that my grandfather worked as a conductor for the Taiwanese Railway for over 30 years. We used to ride with him during his shift where we get free rides and free food from his train. So I truly miss it as well as miss him. Thank you again for doing this series and do keep this series coming.

    If you buy lunch boxes at different train stations, you'll notice that the taste is different. There are 6 Taiwan Railway restaurants in Taipei, Taichung, Kaohsiung, Qidu, Hualien and Taitung. Personally, I think the pork chop lunch box from Qidu is the most delicious. Occasionally, Hualien and Taitung will introduce locally limited lunch box flavors.

    Mark has an insatiable craving for the intense heat and bold flavor of Ghost Peppers. While Taiwan's cuisine is traditionally known for its mild taste, Mark's taste buds demand something more daring and fiery. He finds pleasure in adding Ghost Pepper to his meals, savoring every spicy bite that sets his mouth ablaze. For Mark, there's no such thing as "too hot" when it comes to food, and the Ghost Pepper is the perfect complement to Taiwan's already delicious cuisine. 😄😄👍👍
