I made this for J as his after school snack. This is to be shared among 3 children, my niece, nephew and J. But niece doesnt want, so the 2 boys finished the food in no time.

I packed the food in a 2-tier Thomas lunchbox. The upper tier consist of strawberries and pitted cherries, the lower tier consist of quail eggs and dark soy sauce in the star container.

Made this for J as his after school snack yesterday. On the 1st day of school, he asked if I cook anything for him to bring to school, so decided to make something for him on the 2nd day.

I used the lunchbox 3lilangels got for me from a 100 yen shop in KL.

Bento #32

J likes dark soy sauce for his hard boiled egg, so I made use of dark soy sauce to darken the face of the egg to make the bunny and dog imprint more obvious.

The lunch box consist of mayonnaise in the Hello Kitty mayo case, parmesan cheese in the furikake bottle, strawberries, Halloween pasta, carrot faces, quail eggs and broccoli. J likes blanched broccoli and eat with mayonnaise. I packed these in the Magadasca lunch box I got recently.

The lunchboxes consists of a mixture of Mickey Mouse and Halloween pasta, hard boiled eggs and powdered cheese in a furikake bottle.
