Popcorn Chicken Bento - Mindi's Kitchen

$8.95 + Tax

I'm back to Mindi's Kitchen tonight simply because I'm hungry and  craving for  some Taiwanese comfort food that reminds me of the home-cooked meals that I had when I was visiting Taiwan.  I'm not Taiwanese, but I have Taiwanese friends who introduced me to their food that I instantly fell in love with.  Taiwanese popcorn chicken is one of those signature Taiwanese snacks that also make great meals.  Yes, they are a lot more delicious than the typical American popcorn chicken.  And yes, they are much better tasting than the McNuggets.  I never understood the appeal of McNuggets.  I never liked McNuggets even when I was a kid who loved to visit McDonald's.   My parents also hated the nuggets.  May be my dislike for McNuggets is genetic. But I definitely love Taiwanese popcorn chicken.

The popcorn chicken at Mindi's is so tasty and crispy tender, and it's served with my choice of sauce. I chose the spicy sauce because I think it's the best tasting sauce among the three options.  The spice level of the spicy sauce is just right to me (my heat tolerance level is usually medium).  The great flavor of the spicy sauce just compliments the crispy popcorn chicken so perfectly.  Bento meal is one of my go-to comfort foods. I don't know whether it is the rice, the side veggies or my beloved seasoned egg, there is no meal that satisfies me more than a bento that offers a fantastic entree (like the popcorn chicken in this one) , accompanied with steamed rice and a variety of side dishes.

  1. I ordered this bento box again last night. I still love this bento box. I have to remind myself to ask them not to put shredded bamboo shoot on my bento next time though. They put shredded bamboo shoot in the mixed veggies last night when it used to be sliced carrots. Bamboo shoot is my most hated root vegetable. It carries a urine-like smell which grosses me out. Many people love bamboo shoot but not me. I have to remember to ask them next time not to put this in my veggies since it stinks my bento. I understand that they put in whatever veggies that are available on the day. The rest of the bento box still tasted as good as I had it last time. I still love it even the bamboo shoot ruined it a little for me.
