Bento #166


Jaimie's bento for today. Mr Baoz. But Jaimie said she didn't like "the eyes and the moustache".

Haiz. Should have saved my effort.

Bento #164 - Bento #165

Nowdays mornings are very challenging and always very rush. That's because I am making 2 different bentos for both my love.

After the first bento Jaimie brought to school, there is no turning back. She said she preferred my bento to the breakfast provided by the school. When I asked her what did she like in her bento, she replied "EVERYTHING!!!! My friends said my mommy is super!!" WAHHHHHH~~~ how not to make bento for her like that? *bursting with pride*

Jaimie's bento -- strawberry jam and peanut butter bread.


Clement's bento -- egg mayo sandwich.

Making 2 different bentos require more time and planning... and I am not complaining. :)

Bento #163

After practicing for more than 2 years, FINALLY, this is the FIRST bento I made for Jaimie for her to bring to school!

Hurhurhur.

Nothing much, actually. I bought her the sausage bun to pack to school but she requested for quail eggs too. And since I have some strawberries in the fridge, I put them together and this is it. But I am now motivated to make her happy bentos in the morning!

I am sure Jaimie will be happy to eat her breakfast. I can't wait for her to come home this evening to tell me about it~~ heeheehee~~~

bento #162


Before I find out why my hotdog bun becomes all torn up when I put in the sausage, I will be spreading just peanut butter and kaya inside the bun.

Pineapple tarts and some CNY goodies in the bento too. Pineapple tarts home made by our neighhour Pauline. Nice tarts. And very nice neighbours!

Bento #161


I shamelessly call this a bento. But this IS my favourite lunch!!!! Lim Chee Guan bak kwa ROCKS!

Bento #157- Bento# 160

I have been making such simple and repetitive bentos that I feel no need to blog about them individually. So I am making a group entry for these bentos. :D

Bento #157 Egg and ham and cheese sandwich with 4 types of fruits!


Bento #158 Ham and cheese sandwich. Need to cut away the edges so that the sandwich can fit nicely into the sandwich box. Otherwise, you get squashed sandwich, as seen in picture!

Bento #159. Mushroom and chicken wrap again. This time, it's oyster sauce marinated chicken stripes fried with loads of onion. Much better than terriyaki chicken!

Bento #160: Spirals fried in Campbell mushroom soup, with added fresh shiitake mushroom and broccoli. I decided to add some apple cubes to see how it goes. Hmmm.. no value added.

Bento #156

Oil free healthy chicken wrap for today's bento!

(1) Blanch the broccoli. Cut the fresh shiitake mushrooms and marinate it together with the chicken breast stripe with terriyaki sauce (do it the night so that you can sleep for 30mins more the next morning) . Pan fry the chicken and the mushrooms. Set aside.

(2) While the pan frying is going on, use the time to dice the tomatoes and cut some Japanese cucumber into long stripes.

(3) When everything is ready, microwave the wraps. 10sec/ piece.


(4) Put the baby butterhead and the other ingredients prepared earlier onto the wrap. I microwaved the remaining terriyaki sauce from the marinating, dipped the chicken into the sauce before putting it to the wrap.


(5) Wrap it in foil. Got this really cute aluminium foil from Daiso some time back.


(6) Put in your greens and fruits into the bento box. It is recommended that the wrap not to be exposed to air after you have micowaved it. Hence, an air tight box should do the trick.
I put mine in a hello kitty none air tight box and it's still ok when I ate it for lunch. Clement's bentos are always in this plain, lock-and-lock box because he is still refusing to use my super cute bento boxes. Aiyah...
