Taiwan Coal Museum (Miner's Lunch Box) Introduction
Train bento, railway bento, bamboo bento, and special bento are not unusual anymore. Have you tried the miner's bento? At the Taiwan Coal Mine Museum in Pingxi, you can purchase tickets to experience the early life of miners and visit the simulated coal mine tunnels. The staff will first ask if you need a specially prepared miner's bento, made in advance for visitors. While it may not have the luxurious dishes of a professional chef, it does carry the flavors of home-cooked meals, made with love by mothers who worry for their sons.
