[Post 1240] Taiwan-style Bento Meals With Old-School Touch & Retro Vibe | Lunch With Us: Taipei


Summary

What makes Taiwan-style bento meals different from the Japanese original? And how did it become a national obsession? Literary writers Hsieh Yi An and Chu Yu Hsun take us on a retro lunch experience at Dong Yi Pork Chop in Zhongzheng District, Taipei City – a surreal old-school venue that once served as a glitzy dance hall. We chat with its 75-year-old co-founder to find out why they’ve kept their bento meals as retro as the decor.
