Oakland's Taiwan Bento is a Local Pioneer of Taiwanese Cuisine | Check, Please! Bay Area

Описание: With their downtown Oakland restaurant Taiwan Bento, Stacy Tang and Willy Wang have had the opportunity to introduce many locals to gua bao, lu rou fan, and other classic staples of Taiwanese cuisine. Now, after eight years serving the community, Tang and Wang have decided to close Taiwan Bento at the end of this month, marking the end of an era for one of the real pioneers of Taiwanese food culture in the Bay Area.

Take a look back with Check, Please! Bay Area as Taiwan Bento dishes up the ultimate Taiwanese comfort food: its Fried Pork Chop Bento, a nostalgic dish with crispy marinated pork, tea egg, and pickled veggies.
