Bento #4

This bento thing is really contagious! Now Vivian is into bento making too and my buddy HappyPig is also starting on bento for her kids! We should really start a bento club, mommies!

Jaimie was sick again (hasn't been too well for the past few days anyway). She was running a temperature and had a runny nose. Both Clement and I were "scolded", kicked and punched by the angry, cranky and fussy Jaimie in her sleep. I set the alarm clock at 5.30am but I couldn't wake up when the alarm went off. These 3 bentos were easy but it still took me 45mins to do. I wonder why!

Bento #4 consists of: (1)rice with mixed veg and diced crab meat (again) (2)star shaped ham (3)sausage octopus (4)fish shaped salmon fish cake (5)seafood tofu (6)fish cake tofu (7)ham and egg roll. I got items (4)-(6) from the yong tao foo stall in the wet market for $0.20/pc. Just need to boil them in water and they are quite tasty!

Bento 4.3 My breakfast. I got this cute lunch box for only $3.90. Comes with an additional lid to prevent spilling and a fork too.

Today's bento was less colourful and less healthy in a way because there was no green vegetables. It was only unfortunate that the NTUC I went to yesterday had no more broccoli left at 6pm!!!

Making bentos are really therapeutic for me. Although I had to wake up half an hour earlier, I totally enjoy the personal and quiet time in the kitchen preparing food for my loved ones.

More bentos coming up soon!! I have already thought of what to prepare tomorrow! :)
