Clockwise from left to right: Fried chicken slices marinated in honey and Lea & Perrins Sauce. Mashed potato. Gravy.

Decided to add some cherry tomatoes on top of the chicken at the last minute.

Happy Bento-ing!

This one was like, 2 weeks ago. >_< So there's gonna be like, few days in a row of bento posts. Clearing up my back log >_<

Decided to use a new bento box. Well, it's not exactly new, my mom bought it ages ago and deliberately left it at my place. (all my bento boxes are bought by my mom)

Here's what the set looks like. Everyone at work thinks I brought a make up bag to work. T_T

Packed this for buka puasa. On the left in the flask tumbler is spaghetti with chicken meat and crabsticks in bolognese sauce. Right hand upper container is the extra sauce. Right hand bottom container is potato salad.

This bag is so cool, it has a slot at the back where I can slip in the chopsticks holder (comes with the set.)

Hapy Bento-ing!

Packed this cause I needed to return a tupperware to a friend and decided not to return it empty.

Found these cookie cutters and came up with an idea.

Got 2 pieces of bread and some Kaya, and went cutting away.

Then realized that I could only yield 4 miserable pieces of cute sandwiches out off 2 pieces of bread.

 

So I decided to stick to the good old triangle sandwiches. 

So much for creativity.

Mom gave some strawberrys, Sis gave some cute food picks, housemate made bread pudding, Bento waiting to happen yo....

Okay, does it count if this Bento wasn't packed by me, but given to me? Eheh, whateverlar.

This one's by my mom who made the cookies, I think the cookies are called Death By Chocolate O_O Very fitting name. Very chocolaty.

Strawberrys and chocolate cookies. Yum.

Again, this was like, 2 months ago?

All posts for the rest of the month are gonna be old news unless stated otherwise.

Here we go, number 28. In the top tier, 2 mini paus, red bean filling. In the silicon cup is mayonnaise for the salad in the bottom tier. In the bottom tier, cubed sausage, egg, and potatoes for a salad, all boiled. Boiled everything the night before, steamed the paus prior to packing

Yeah, finally got around to digging out one of my other bento boxes, took out the strap out of storage too.

 

The lunch set in its full splendour.

Happy Bento-ing!

Hohoho, this was packed last week! totally forgot to put this up. Anyways, here it is.

Fried tang hoon/tong fan/soo hoon/glass noodle. whateveryouwannacallitlar.

The long thin black plastic casing houses the chopsticks. I actually nicked it from another bento set, which I have yet to debut.

This is my last bento for now. Til I bento again!

Happy Bento-ing!

Fried Yee Mee. Was darn lazy to get up and cook, threw this together at the last minute.

Close up

I used the same old box. Too lazy too search for my other cutesy bento boxes. And look, I can't believe the banana fits into the utensils box o_O

Happy Bento-ing!

...About Bento #25

I have to say, this is the most Bento-ish looking bento I can pack, because of the partitions of the food. Most of my bentos look like any ordinary packed food. It's so blah looking compared to the other bento-ers bentos. They are mothers packing for their children. So it's all filled with cutesy stuff like animal shaped eggs, pink colored riceballs and all that stuff. For me, it's packing for myself, to be opened up and eaten among guys.

T_T

So go figure, this is as cute as I dare to pack it.

Close up!

From top left: spinach fried with garlic and oyster sauce, fried chicken marinated in worchester sauce and honey, the partition is made up of tamagoyaki with garlic and ginger. Bottom is white rice.

Used the same apple shaped box as in #24.

Happy Bento-ing!

...About Bento #24

Return of the Bentos!

Here's #24. Packed for breaking of fast. 

Using a brand new bento box. Courtesy of my mom (as usual). Top tier, on the left, sliced apple and banana. Bottom tier, on the right, chicken rice. The claypot type, but not cooked in a claypot. If you know what I mean >_< Mango juice in the water tumbler.

The bottom tier of the box is pretty deep. Quite big a box.

Apple shaped Bento Box! :)

Happy Bento-ing!

...About: 100 Yen Shop, Kota Kemuning.

Never mind the question of what was I doing in Kota Kemuning. I was just so excited to see one! Haven't visited one in a long time. My girlfriend Brenda, a 100 yen shop virign was with me at the time.  So we went together.

If you've never been to one, well here's a journey of discovery for you!

This branch has the shaved ice kiosk. (I noticed, most of the branches have it now)

The name of the shop itself screams japanese. So, expect a lot of cute, weird, what-the-hell-i-never-thought-of-that kind of stuff.

The have food stuff, candy, and snacks.

Look at the can of Pepsi, is a 500ml can. Next time I shall buy some. If people ask me where I bought it from, I shall say Japan >_<

Cute stuff! Stickers, paper clips, magnets.

This is a new find for me....

Cute portable speakers! In the shape of love and frog! How cute can it get? I was going to buy the froggy one, but when I tested it, my iPod touch's built in speaker was actually louder. Bummer. So, yeah, did not buy it.

Then let's not forget, the Bento stuff!!! Every Bento enthusiast in Malaysia depends on 100 yen shop for their supply of Bento boxes, tools, and accessories.

Then usual standard Bento boxes.

These comes with elastic bands.

Metal container with plastic lids.

Chocolate Bento box!

So if you happen to visit a 100 yen shop that sells the 'Snow Ice'. Do have a bowl. It's delish. It's basically flavoured ice shavings.

It says 'non fattening' So indulge!

We had mango.

So, til the next post, Sayonara!

All pictures taken from Brenda.
