Comfort food


I just realized the take-out food containers from Class 302 are made of thin wood.
These containers are very popular for good lunch boxes in Taiwan.
But this is actually the first time I've seen wooden food container in the US.
I ordered box dinners with salmon, chicken and pork rib.
These boxes also include rice and 3 side dishes of scrambled egg, cabbage and mix vegi.
For me this is real comfort food.
These box lunches were first sold on long distance train, know as railway lunchbox (鐵路便當)
Although I seldom had chance to enjoy these when I was living in Taiwan.
Now old time containers seem to make a come back.

Take a look at my salmon box:

The box with stew chicken leg:

This box is the most popular lunch box with pork rib:
