Bento Fun #142
I was really busy yesterday and do not get a chance to post up any bentos. Baby G was a little cranky (she still is now!) as she caught the flu bugs from Darrius. I guess her blocked nose is causing her to be really cranky and seeking more attention than normal days. She also refused to nap for long so I have been running here and there the entire day yesterday.
There was no bento for Darrius to bring to school since he told me he don’t want any. Therefore, I try to pack his lunch or dinner in the bento box just so he still can see his cutesy meals at home…
After of not making any onigiri for a long time, I attempted again yesterday after steaming some Japanese rice for the purpose. Made 2 characters out of it (queen & girl?) with details from nori and dabs of ketchup on their cheeks.
I gave him a pan fried oyster sauce drummet, a portion of pearl corn some strawberries, broccoli and a cherry tomato. On top of that, he gets a bowl of lotus root soup too which was not in the picture.
He was delighted to see his bento and immediately said he was hungry! He only managed to finish one of the onigiri but cleared the rest of the items in the box. I even added another piece of drummet for him when he was half way through… 
These few days will be hectic for me as I need to seriously start packing for our trip DownUnder! Our flight is leaving this Friday evening and all my stuff are still lying around half packed!
Hope all of you have fun bento-ing!!!!
