Bento#1

30 Aug 2008 by

I’m not sure how many bentos will I prepare in the future, but the first bento is definitely a blogable material!

Days ago, I tried out the egg mold which I bought from Tesco for the first time, but the result didn’t turn out nice. I was in a hurry in the morning, and I didn’t boil the eggs long enough. It’s so hard to remove the shells, my eggs were quite “deformed” on the surface. :P My kids don’t eat eggs as I delayed in introducing eggs to my ultra sensitive kids who couldn’t tolerate a few types of food when they were babies. So, when I started introducing eggs when they were much older, they dislike the taste. However, they were interested to try out the “funny looking” hard boiled eggs as breakfast that morning but they couldn’t finish the eggs. It’s a good start. :)

Very deformed car and fish eggs. :P

 

So, this morning I decided to prepare their bentos to the office. It didn’t take me long to prepare the rice, pan fried chicken terriyaki balls, and our breakfast (fish ball and minced pork with Chinese spinach & noodles in anchovy soup). However, I was struggling with the rice mould as the rice was hot!!! Furthermore, I threw away the wrapper without reading the instruction first so I had to agak agak how to use the rice mould. LOL!


Teriyaki chicken balls.

 

 


Justin and Isabelle’s bentos with rice, broccolli, cauliflower and chicken balls.

 

 


My rice didn’t turn out cute… Sigh…

 

I bought the bento sets from Central, and they come with bags. Since there was one extra container, I packed them some snacks too.


Add some snacks…

 

 


Melody bento set for Isabelle and Shinkansen for Justin. All done!

 

The kids and hubby woke up shortly after and my kids were happy to see their bentos. I don’t know why, my breakfast tasted so nice this morning, maybe I was happy with my first bento “achievement”. LOL!

Our breakfast…

 

Oh ya, I ordered more bento stuffs online just now. LOL! BTW, I don’t think I will prepare rice for bento as it gets cold after a while and my kids couldn’t finish the rice. I wonder how to reduce the portion of the rice or make it warm longer? Mmm…

    WS, I really can’t remember where I placed my warmer bag. It’s been ages since I last used it. :)

    Ponytail, ya, it’s emergency state now, so maybe we won’t be going around in the city for a while. I hope that things won’t get any worse than this!
