0:04 我是台灣人，這個台灣鐵路排骨便當充滿了台灣人的回憶 “便當”這個文化在台灣與日本歷史悠久 為了長途旅行而設計的 我很驚訝你介紹這個食物，因為這非常的在地，可惜並不是很多遊客知道他的歷史

確實，身為新加坡人，記得小時候去台灣搭火車時只會買壽司。2018年搭阿里山林鐵到奮起湖嘗試奮起湖便當覺得「味道可以耶」。後來就會買台鐵便當了。最近時常從桃園去新竹，如果沒搭區間車， 必定買便當。

The fact that we get free food & travel videos by Mark on KZread is priceless. 👏👏👏

The Railway Bento is basic but very affordable. The flavor of the braised pork chop is very unique, many try to replicate the taste but are not very successful. The Hgh Speed Rail company has their own bentos too, slightly expensive and more delicate. They are also delicious but not as famous as the Railway Bento. Just like Mark said, it's because of the nostalgic feelings that last several decades.

Thank you very much, comfort food and memories!

Mark太厲害了連鐵路便當都知道！！！！

OMG. That is so an authentic Taiwanese bento box. Last time I tried was like 20+ years ago. I miss it. Thank you for brining the memory back.

I love the railway bento boxes cause they are so affordable! And they are either hot or warm.

Taiwanese here! First of all, thanks for the amazing videoes as always Mark, it's a pleasure to see you enjoy our culture and food! Since I'm currently studying in Taichung, the city Mark takes the HSR (high speed railway, 高鐵) to, here's some info for those who might wanna visit in the future. As Mark mentioned, it took him an hour to go from Taipei to Taichung, and that's because he took the HSR, not ordinary train (also known as Taiwan Railway,台鐵). Think of HSR as shinkansen in Japan! It's a lot faster, the space overall is comfier than train, but the fee is understandably higher. HSR from TP to Taichung costs about 23 USD and takes only 1hour, while normal train costs around 13 USD and needs 2~2.5 hours to arrive. There are different types of trains tho, and some of them are faster. Most importantly, the railway bento (台鐵便當)! You can basically find them in most of the train stations and HSR stations, and I recommend you to try it if you have the chance. Yes it doesnt come in wide varieties but the price is reasonable, and the quality and taste are also often prasied upon! Even in Taiwan, it's hard to find freshly made bento with meat for just 2USD these days :) Lastly, as Mark mentioned, the Taichung HSR station (where he is at the end of the video) seems quite far away from downtown, and that's correct! The thing about Taichung is that both the airport and HSR station are located in the suburbs, so take this into consideration if you're going to take HSR/plane to come here. But the Taichung train station, for ordinary train, is at the center of downtown area, as well as the highway bus station :D

Mark, now we're talking! This is the best part of taking the train (best is the slow train as it gives you more time to enjoy the meal) in Taiwan. I even go to the train station to pick up a pork chop lunch box as my 6 year old loves the lunch boxes (for regular dinner without taking the train). Keep up the good work in sharing the world with us.

Thank you very much, cool to hear that!

There are definitely tastier and more ingredient-filled bento boxes at Taipei Main, but the reason why these bento boxes still survive is because of the nostalgia - they remind people, especially the older generation, of traditional, simpler times. That plus they are cheap, consistent in terms of the flavour and convenient to attain, things that Taiwanese always enjoy. Hope there are more Taiwan videos coming, I love Taiwan!

Loved this series. Taiwan is awesome and good to see you heading to some different places from the usual Shilin content. There are still tons of other places though that could be covered and have dishes that are unique to those specific towns. The bento brings back some great old memories.

you've nailed it. It's very simple and comforting and you certainly know how to appreciate it.

looking forward to my taiwan trip next year

When we visit Taiwan we absolutely must take the train

As a Taiwanese, I can confirm the bento in the beginning of the video is the best one out of all the options. My family often go to the train station and buy them for lunch. We don't even travel that much XD

Bento box was a tiffin box for every single person and had a sweet memories with it ❤❤

Beautiful Formosa, delicious food, great value, and friendly people!!! Love the place ❤

So cool, I happen to be in Taiwan right now!

Loved how you described the bento with one word "comfort." Because it's what the bento box should taste like! I believe us Taiwanese would also say it is. 🥰

Nowadays, we like Taiwan Railway Bento box than the train haha :) It's the most typical and famous bento box in taiwan.

Watching this I feel missing Taiwan been working there for 15 years .I am greatful when I was there I visited a lot of places Taichung is one of beautiful city

Me too! I really like Taiwan Railway bento!

Bento's are amazing, I would buy one at least once a day!!

Wow that's really cool and absolutely looks so delicious food brother.

Mark, thank you so much for showcase the great foods from my country. Railway Bentos and Taiwanese street food are the most affordable fresh foods that we can get. Besides that every time I watch your videos in regards to Taiwan it just makes me really hungry and reminds me how much I've miss my home country. One thing that I want to share with you is that my grandfather worked as a conductor for the Taiwanese Railway for over 30 years. We used to ride with him during his shift where we get free rides and free food from his train. So I truly miss it as well as miss him. Thank you again for doing this series and do keep this series coming.

This is a childhood core memory for my brother and I! When we visited the grandparents for new years from Taipei to Hualien, the train bento box has always been something we looked forward to on the trips. And some string dried squid snacks from the carts

I am watching your videos every day ❤❤

that looked yummy...and so cheap! greetings from Sweden :)

Thanks Mark for additional videos on the other channels

miss taiwan, love frm manila

Such an interesting episode, Mark! And a bit different from eating in restaurants, like it! 😍

Can you imagine having this delicious food available on North American trains! Omg we’d take the train just to eat such delicious food!

Mark has an insatiable craving for the intense heat and bold flavor of Ghost Peppers. While Taiwan's cuisine is traditionally known for its mild taste, Mark's taste buds demand something more daring and fiery. He finds pleasure in adding Ghost Pepper to his meals, savoring every spicy bite that sets his mouth ablaze. For Mark, there's no such thing as "too hot" when it comes to food, and the Ghost Pepper is the perfect complement to Taiwan's already delicious cuisine. 😄😄👍👍

porkchop rice is one of my dad's favorite Taiwan dishes.

Loving the shorter format, perfect length for a snack and quick break from work!

Mark, it is such a thrill to share your enthusiasm of the different food styles and cultures, I envy you for being able to experience these dishes and be with family!!

some day i hope to do just like what you do Mark, you been my inspiration to start my channel :)

I ALWAYS get a bento box when I ride the Train in Taiwan; one of the best things about the Taiwan trains.

Oh come on Mark, the food looked amazing, hmmmmmm - how about on a plane for the next one, or perhaps a coach or bus

Welcome to TW , hope you enjoy everythign here, and stay safe

Fascinating video from a food traveler! Must say some of us without chopsticks skill would have more of a test....!

I hope you have time to visit Chiayi for their fish head soup and Turkey rice. It looks so delicious!

If you buy lunch boxes at different train stations, you'll notice that the taste is different. There are 6 Taiwan Railway restaurants in Taipei, Taichung, Kaohsiung, Qidu, Hualien and Taitung. Personally, I think the pork chop lunch box from Qidu is the most delicious. Occasionally, Hualien and Taitung will introduce locally limited lunch box flavors.

The food looks delicious 😋😋❤❤

That looks really good I'm going to look up where I can get it here in Toledo Ohio

Wow welcome to Taichung, hope you can enjoy our food here. You must try some ice cream and snacks in Miyahara.

Totally childhood comfort food for me!

Many good food in Taiwan!

Mark, I grew up eating those bento boxes since I was kid.

全部多是排骨飯 看起來就很好吃 台灣的便當 還不錯吧 謝謝分享影片唷 ~!

Mark, when you at the TaoYuan airport, try the braised pork belly at the Homee Kitchen. I get that everytime when I go to Taiwan.

朕也喜欢火车便当🤫

Bento available at some particular railway stations along northeast/east coast line are very famous, for example, Fu-long, Chi-Shang, Guan-Shan stations. People taking the trains often take quick/short off the train (or buy from the window side of the train) to buy bento boxes on those particular stations and back onto the train to eat.

mark wiens Fantastic food plus train trip beautiful island of Taiwan wonderful city great good people congratulations friend Mark hug your fan😊

Such hearty food for a good price!

I love Taiwan 🇹🇼 & Taiwanese Foods. Great country

two dollars for all that food, a box with a full size pork chop, tofu, egg, veggies, and rice. Man, that box here in the states would be at least $11.95(or more)
