Homey 烘米餐廚-餐盒專賣
【Foodholic Naiko@Taipei】
This bento shop is located near the R2 exit of Zhongshan Underground Street. The appearance is quite inconspicuous, and there are not many seats inside. It mainly does takeout and large-scale ordering for delivery.
Baked Rice is not a healthy meal box, but the packaging is more exquisite. There are many choices of main meal flavors, including: garlic white meat, braised beef brisket, fried pork, onion and salt chicken breast, sweet and sour pork ribs, honey chicken drumsticks, saliva chicken, etc. Wait, don’t worry about getting tired of it after just a few meals.
Although the business hours are listed as 7pm, if the food is sold out early, it will end early. It is strongly recommended to order by phone or Line first!
For example, when I arrived at 6 o'clock this evening, the "Today's Sold Out" sign was actually posted. Fortunately, I had already ordered a meal.
I ordered food at 4:30 pm. I originally wanted sweet and sour pork ribs and honey chicken drumsticks, but they were all sold out🥲
Finally, we ordered the classic fried pork ribs rice for $125 and fried pork rice with soy sauce for $125.
Fried pork ribs
The fried noodles are different from ordinary Taiwanese fried pork ribs. It is more like fried chicken drumsticks. The appearance of the fried skin makes people expect it to be as crispy as Parker chicken steak. However, it may be because it is stuffed in the lunch box after being fried. Inside and outside, the skin is a bit soft, and the meat of the ribs is a little too chewy.
Sautéed Pig
Similar to the Taiwanese Teppanyaki stir-fried pork thickening method, a lot of soy sauce is added, so it goes well with the meal. However, after eating it, I felt it was a bit salty and greasy, and it is not a main meal item that I would want to repurchase.
side dishes
Today it’s a small piece of sweet potato, sweet and spicy, and two kinds of green vegetables (cabbage and what looks like bok choy)
Personally, I don’t think it’s sincere to add sweet potatoes as a side dish to a bento. If you already have a lot of rice, don’t add any more starch 😂
Sweet or not spicy shouldn’t be called a dish? It has no nutritional value and tastes just ordinary.
The green vegetables were fried too oily, and I almost wanted to boil them before eating them.
The price is similar to the healthy meal boxes on the market, but the style is more similar to a traditional Taiwanese lunch box. If the side dishes are of this quality, I personally think it will cost about $100.
Overall, the main meal was pretty good but the side dishes were ordinary. For a bento, it was not unpalatable, but it was not something that would make you want to eat it again and again.
Because it's close to home, I eat it occasionally, but if I'm not nearby, I don't want to go out of my way to eat it (for example, our company often orders this bento, but I almost never go with a group)
