Bento Marathon #17, 18 & 19
I have to too many backlog posting on my Bento. Here goes:
Bento Mania #17
Some of the days when I am too sleepy or have run out of food in the fridge OR sometimes when I am afraid kids will get bored eating ‘real’ food, I always have biscuits as back up.
Jacob’s strawberry-yogurt-sandwich biscuit. I HEARTS Pocky and even Rocky! Unfortunately I left the natural flavoured Vitagen in the fridge. Makes the picture looks a bit unattractive and bland.
Bento Mania #18
Carrot stick and yogurt as dip. Rolled processed ham with edamame in skew. 2 little rice biscuits (not easy to spot them) just in case the food is not fulling for the kids. But I doubt kids will sapu (wack) everything.
Bento Mania #19
Let’s rant a bit here. During the earlier days when Daughter brings bento to school, I used to ask her almost everyday the same question like did you finish your meal? Did your friends like them? (show off Mummy!) And she will go,
“My friend always steal my food.”
“Next time you don’t go canteen with that friend anymore.”
“I did not go with her. I put my bento box on the table and she just open it and steal my food.”
“Why did you leave them on the table?”
“I need to go and wash my hands ma.”
(Wah, my Daughter very discipline her. At home she don’t even bother to wash-her-hands-before-meal.) “Why don’t you ask your other friends to book the seat for you so that you can bring the bento box along with you.”
Cannot remember what is her reply liao la. So looks like I have added a new things to worry about her. Now I added a new question for her, “Did your friend steal your food today?” And she will say yes or so forth. After like 4 or 5 bento incident, one day I let her bring this bento:
When she came home, she told me her friend steal her mango. I was furious and really mad at that friend! Worst thing is, she (friend) did not finish the whole mango. She just bite the centre part (with all her teeth marks on it!) and return the whole piece to Daughter. I was so so furious when I see that. Good thing daughter did not threw away the half eaten mango if not I wouldn’t have know the whole scenario. I was so mad I told Daughter I am going to her school tomorrow and give her a tight SLAP! Say only la. I almost wanted to stop preparing bento for Daughter. The thought of her getting bullied really add on stress to my life and I fear for her safety too. I have read in other bento blog of the same bullying case. There is this school children out of jealousy went and spit in their friend’s lunch. This is too much!
Ok. Thanks for listening. My story finish already. Back to the bento. I did the ham sandwich previously. The only difference is the cucumber. This time I cut them in stripe and slot them in between the rolled ham. That way, the cucumber will not slide off when you bite on it. Just click on the link to see the difference la. Don’t know how to explain them in words. For the mango, the skin is still intact. The gummy bears is just a little reward for finishing their ‘real’ meal. The mango is a bigger reward! They kids really, really love mangoes.  I don’t even bother to buy papaya cos they won’t eat them anyway.
The pink 2 tier bento box is currently Daughter’s favourite box. All pinky and princessy. Girls are so fortunate sometimes.*rolling eye*
For Hubby and me, we had the wholemeal bread instead:
One biji (piece) of mango enough for the 2 kids. So Hubby and me had cherry tomatoes instead. Huhuhu!
