佳佳麵包

In Pingtung, there’s a hearty eatery called JiaJia Bakery, which originally started as a bakery but later shifted to selling bento-style meals. They focus on serving large portions at reasonable prices, benefiting many budget-conscious diners; let me just say that this place is all about getting a good fill—there are no exotic delicacies, but it’s also not bad, and the value for money is exceptional.

After a break, the owner has finally returned, and business is still great. A classic dish is the scallion egg braised pork rice, priced between 30 to 60. I have a big appetite, so I usually go for the 50 option, which fills me up nicely until the evening. The meal includes seven different toppings and a scallion egg that fills the entire bento, packed with protein and carbs—this price really reflects a kind-hearted offering.

They also serve a rice and soup combo which is surprisingly only 50, and the soup contains five pieces of chicken. For those who like rice with soup, this is a satisfying combination.
