Trivia
[Hardcore] Taiwan bentos basically follow '1 main + 3 sides' rule, but this destroys it for competitive eaters. The combo of meat, egg, veg, oil, and rice forms a microcosm inside the takeout box.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Lid won't close, so first bite the giant Paigu on top while digging through sides, finally mixing rice and minced pork to shovel down!
