Xiaoshe Bento Shop is a well known restaurant located in Fenqihu Old Street in Taiwan. This bento shop specializes in classic traditional Taiwan railway bento box food. The restaurant is located at the center of the busy Fenqihu Old Street. Its flashy red banner hanging off its roof made it rather obvious for tourists to spot it. The restaurant has a large dining space and sometimes even opens up its second floor for the diners to enjoy the great view of Fenqihu from the top.
We got to Fenqihu around 1PM and it was extremely busy and crowded. It was difficult to even walk through the street. When we got to Xiaoshe Bento Shop, it was still busy with 80% of tables taken but we were able to secure a table at the balcony. We ordered the classic pork rib railway bento as it is the most classic bento.
While waiting for the food, the crowd continued to stream through the street behind us and it was crazy to see this amount of people in such a small town.
We got the bento box after about 10 minutes. The food was served in a white plastic box. The box looks larger than the other bento boxes served in other restaurants. The box included egg, cabbage, bamboo shoots, and corn as the side dish. The white rice was served with flagrant bonito flakes on top of it. The spotlight of this bento is the pork rib. It was quite large and extremely tender with juice coming out of it.
Xiaoshe Bento Shop did not disappoint us. We loved the port rib and also enjoyed the side dish. The side dish was full of flavour and extremely fresh. We would definitely visit it again in the future when we visit Taiwan.
