What I prepared: star-shaped rice, 2 small sausages (cut into halves) and tomato slices on matryoshka food picks, and fried dumpling.
She has a couple of choices for dessert, some jelly babies (a kind of imported candy) and mango balls.
Fried dumplings has egg and sausage is made of chicken meat. I put them in my elder daughter's bento even she's allergic to them, hoping she'll develop immunity by giving her egg and chicken every once in a while. Honestly speaking, she is not a big fan of Chinese food but she likes my homecooked fried dumplings a lot. One of the main ingredients of this dumpling is Chinese cabbage. It has green onions, carrots, ginger, garlic, and white onion, too. I'm happy if she's able to finish a minimum of four dumplings in a meal, you know, the picky-eater that she is. As for this bento, I inserted the leftover dumpling from her lunch.
How cute! You are pretty creative sis...I wish I have the patience to create and prep bento everyday....I salute you! I used to do that for Akesh but it didn't last longer....lol!
ReplyDeleteRe: oo, sis! Bumalik sa natural yung wavy hair nya...I'll curl her hair again...lol!
Haha. I hope di din ako magsawa kakagawa ng bento sis. Actually, it was hubby who originally thought about food art so Askim, being a picky-eater, will gain more appetite and eat more.
DeleteKisses to Akesha sis and yes, curly hair it is! :)
This is so cute! I love the matryoshka food picks! I'll make sure to do this when I have kids of my own!

Sure sis. I am sure your future kids will be delighted to see their lunchbox with food art in it! :)
DeleteI've always wanted to make my own bento. Too bad I can't find time to do it. But for sure, I'll try it soon!
