Donghua Qishang Bento

Location: 🌕🌕🌕🌕

This bento shop is the one I visit most often in recent years. My colleagues and I have gotten used to calling it "the old place." It’s conveniently located and is the most cost-effective option near the office. There was a time when I ate here every lunch for two weeks straight.

Menu: 🌕🌕🌕🌕

The menu changes daily, so it never gets boring. They have a variety of side dishes, including pork skin, tofu, cabbage, eggplant, A-choy, bamboo shoots, "Ants Climbing a Tree," bitter melon, and more, making it a lifesaver for those who have trouble choosing. The soup served for dine-in is free to refill and changes daily, with plenty of choices like pig’s blood soup, radish soup, bamboo shoot soup, and bitter melon soup, offering a different surprise every day, almost like opening a mystery box daily.

Pricing: 🌕🌕🌕

My most common order is the chicken chop rice, which saves me from worrying about what to eat for lunch every day. The price has risen from 65 NT dollars for a bento to 90 NT dollars now.

A colleague often orders three-cup chicken but usually changes the main dish. Overall, the prices at this bento shop have gradually increased with inflation, but the quality has remained consistent.

Overall Evaluation: This bento shop is a reliable choice that has been stable for many years.

It is reasonably priced and a great place to solve lunch worries.
