Not 100% sure of the boxes in america, but M&S and Somerfield sell chinese food that you eat out of the box ????

Apologies if im waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off target here !!!

Surely a tiffin box is any box that you put tiffin (i.e. packed lunch) in. The tiffin boxes I'm familiar with are the Indian ones (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiffin), which are stainless steel stacks of round tins which clip together (one for rice, one for curry and one for chapatis).

I dont like chinese food as such, but it sure tastes goood out of the lil box! Like Coke tastes perfect out of the proper glass bottle, evrething else just not the same.

Btw, I had microwavable chinese stuff that come in thoes lil boxes from a supermarket i can not recall, good luck in ur quest!

At the Ocean in Matilda street they do Bento boxes, but these are for sit down meals.
