楽坡BonBox舒肥健康餐盒 台北錦州店
【Foodholic Niko @ Taipei】
"The Le Po Bon Box Healthy Meal Box - Taipei Jinzhou Store" is located near Hsing Tian Kong Station, just a 2-minute walk from Exit 4. It's inside the Songjiang Market, which has many snack stalls and restaurants. Living here is quite fortunate since you can enjoy reasonably priced lunches and dinners.
That day, I happened to be near Hsing Tian Kong on business, so I looked for healthy meal boxes nearby and discovered this place, which had quite a few good reviews, so I decided to give it a try.
The shop is small, with a few bar seats that have a partial wall, but I think most customers get takeout.
PS: The menu has two prices listed: the regular price and the member price. I wasn't asked to become a member that day, but the staff still charged me the member price.
Sichuan Pepper Chicken Breast $130
The flavor of the Sichuan pepper is quite unique. While it has the characteristic aroma of peppercorns that I often encounter, it seems like they used pepper salt and sprinkled a fair amount, which increases the numbness and saltiness. Personally, I think the flavor is okay. However, the chicken breast is a bit dry and firm, rather than tender. I find the meat quality average, just barely passing.
As for the sides, they were also sprinkled with some flavorful spice powder, which is a plus; sweet potato puree, kelp, enoki mushrooms, and boiled egg were all clearly boiled and quite bland, but the egg had some seasoning powder sprinkled on it, so it was still decent. However, I wasn't very fond of the vegetables as they didn't taste very fresh.
Family had the pepper salt pork $110
I didn't taste it, so I can't comment, but my family finished the whole dish, so it must have been decent (my family is usually quite picky and often leaves leftovers, so just for reference, haha).
Overall, the price is moderate, not too expensive, the main dish tasted okay, but the sides didn't quite meet my expectations, so I'm not very likely to revisit.
