Bento Fun #195 – Speedy Mini Mantou Bento
Today is the first day of mid term school holiday so I’ll be stuck with 2 screaming kids for the next few days until Friday which is the Muslim’s New Year when hubby will get off till Monday.
This morning hubby called asking if we would like to have lunch together? I agreed as I intended to bring the kids out shopping so killing one 2 birds with one stone. Since I don’t know where we’ll be eating so I thought I’ll just pack something for Darrius since I won’t know what is suitable for him.
When we reached hubby’s office, the storm came and every where was so jammed packed with cars going to places with sheltered parking. There were limited sheltered parking here so you can imagine the long queues! Since we have a baby so we have limited choices when it comes to places to dine so ended up at the cafeteria in one of the shopping malls. The place was so crowded and queues were long for most stalls. So, was really lucky that I decided to pack a bento for Darrius!

I steamed 2 plain mini mantou well as some endamame. Also packed a slice of pork patty with 2 meat balls with home made terriyaki sauce sprinkled with sesame seeds which I purposely made into elongated shape so I can use those bone picks. 
There was a strawberry and a red cherry tomato for Vit C. It was a speedy bento as I don’t have time to do much decorations (baby was screaming while I was packing) so I used some cute vege barans to brighten the box up.
That’s all for today… wishing you a great week ahead!

Though is speedy, it is still nicely pack! And you are really rajin, going out to eat also you still pack bento for your boy! Lucky boy of yours!
This must be a long week for you with the 2 kids at home full time! I’m glad that JY’s school childcare is still operating.
Thanks KDW! Not rajin. You know the hawkers and food courts here… nothing really suitable for kids
and what is more during peak hour lunch time… the waiting can kill!
Always love speedy bento! Colorful and nicely pack in the box. Mini mantou, how cool is that?

Hahhaaha… yeah, told you lioa… though Penang is food heaven but after eating the same thing day in day out you get sick of them. As always, nothing is better than home cooked! Of course with mommy’s love put together in a box is much better!
Mom’s feeling is never wrong. Lucky you and Darius to bring this speedy bento
. Cute baran is always a great helper for cute bento without much effort ^__^
