Beef burger patty with plum sauce @ Tokyo Bento

Got the beef burger bento at Tokyo Bento which is similar to the one at Kitchen J but cheaper.

I do not like beef so if they had chicken or fish to choose from with plum sauce it would be great.

 

The plum sauce colour was dark burgandy and the taste was really similar to tomato ketchup.

As usual the bento box comes with rice, pickles and mashed potato in mayonnaise sauce.

Fish bento @ Tokyo Bento

Got the signiature fish bento.

In the bento box it includes rice sprinkled with toppings, covered with a piece of seaweed, fried fish and fish cake on a bed of pasta.
Sweetcorn in mayonnaise, pickled radish, julienne bamboo shoots.

Overall, the best item was the fish cutlet, it was slightly creamy inside, the fishcake was a bit rubbery though.

The sweetcorn in mayonnaise had a weird smoky taste.

 

 

Plain Japanese salmon fried rice @ Tokyo Bento

Previously tried the bento boxes which were not very exciting.

This time I tried the Japanese fried rice, it was nice when it was hot, however after it cooled down, the fish started to smell.
There was no egg in the fried rice, and it was plain salmon and japanese pearl rice.
It was slightly dry and bland, but good for the elderly because salmon has omega-3 and it was not salty at all.
The rice was not oily which was good.

Utopia in Bentopia

Found out about this Bento place and checked out their website.
They serve Japanese and Taiwanese food in a cute Bento box.
The name Bentopia sounded really interesting and reminded me of Utopia.

The only problem getting there was crossing so many roads and there were no traffic lights about.
Next time I will just come by MTR as it is located opposite one of the exits, but still there is an annoying dual carriageway to cross.

Anyway, before I came I had already decided to get the Taiwanese style minced meat bento with salad and Taiwanese style trotters.
I could have chosen the baked oyster instead of the trotters, but I ordered the oyster separately so that in came in a separate little box.

For the salad, I chose the Japanese lime vinegar salad.
Although the salad portion was small, there were four choices, Japanese sesame dressing, Chinese vinegar, Lime vinegar and Pomelo dressing.

I was quite curious about the Chinese vinegar salad because in Chinese it was translated as something else.

Anyway, after ordering, I was given a loyalty card.

When it arrived, my bento lunch was really cute, it was in a clear plastic bag, with the bento box at the bottom, and the other side dishes on top.

Taiwanese style minced meat:
The minced meat was a bit disappointing because I was expecting minced meat and not cubes of meat with fat on it.
However, I do not know what the Chinese meant, so there could be a translation error on the menu.
Although I did not like the meat, the sauce was nice and gelatinous.

Lime vinegar Salad
This was my favourite, the lime dressing was really refreshing, and the salad had sweetcorn, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and lettuce.
FORGOT TO TAKE A PICTURE AS IT WAS TOO DELICIOUS

Taiwanese style trotters
The trotters could have been softer, but they tasted better than I expected because they were not sweet.
I found these round balls which are supposed to be some kind of spices but I do not know what they are.

Baked Oyster
The baked oyster was quite nice, but there were pieces of broken oyster shell in it, so you have to be careful. The sauce on top was made of chopped egg white and mayonnaise sauce.
