Bento #1


I prepared a bento box to fill my stomach, and I incuded all my favourite foodies in the bento box!

I like food that please my eyes! I mean I don't arrange my food like above for every meal, but at least I don't like my plate to be messy with food dumping on top of rice.. Ok, except fried rice, I love fried rice!


So anyway, I shall name the contents of the bento box one-by-one starting from the top right hand corner, in a clockwise motion:


-Blanched french beans top with half a prawn, Blanched beanspouts top with half a prawn.


-Hard boiled egg, cut into a smile-y face.


-Boiled fishballs skewered using cutie toothpick


-Lettuce tossed in salad cream, tomatoes, blackpepper as seasoning and with even more prawns.

This bento box is definitely loaded with fibers and proteins! I'm a prawn lover, cereal prawns esp! But at the same time, prawns are loaded with cholestrol too, sigh.. So I'm limiting myself to the amount of prawns I can eat. *control control*

Another of my favourite will be beanspouts a.k.a Tau Geh, cheap and good! Whenever my mum cook beanspouts, I'll definitely be the one that polish off half a plate and still yearning for more! After doing a search online, apparently beanspouts contains pure form of vitamin A, B, C and E, in additon to that, it also contains an assortment of minerals, like calcium, potassium and iron! A big packet of beanspouts only cost you 50cents? So indeed it's cheap and good!

So after polishing off the bento box, I ended up with a protruding belly.. And its an indication that my stomach is overloaded with food..

*Self note to myself, next time pack a smaller serving of bento box!*
