Bento #56 & 57

Made the above bento for dinner last evening. Another day of not needing to cook for the family as hubby had to attend a workshop at school, so only made a bento for the little one. As was out in the afternoon with P & baby, I wanted to prepare something simple. Bought a packet of fresh soba & boiled that together with the chikuwa, carrots, fish sausage, kamaboko & baby corn. I then cut up some strawberries & yellow watermelon. Princess saw lady's fingers in a friend's bento & was curious about it, so fried those with some ready seasoned flour from Daiso. In the bento, there is a portion of mayonnaise & the bottle contains the sauce for the soba. I simply garnished the soba with some shredded nori & sesame seeds.

Came across a very cute caterpillar bun at four leaves bakery. Couldn't resist getting it for breakfast, so put it together with some animal biscuits, crab crisps & some apple for her breakfast today. She also had a bottle of Meiji chocolate milk which I diluted with fresh milk as I find the chocolate too rich for her.

Mum gave the little cutlery below. Isn't that cute? And most perfect for bento.

These silicon food dividers are new at Daiso. I love their size as they are bigger than the normal ones that we have. Great discovery. The big orange one is a single one, whereas the green one comes in a pack of 3.
