Bento for Kids (Bento#1)
My kids are quite picky in Bangkok as they are still adapting to Thai food. Not all Thai food is spicy, but my children don’t have a lot of variety to choose from when we are eating out. So, I would normally prepare some simple dishes with rice or pasta for them, but there is nothing fancy.
After seeing so many mothers getting involved in bento, I decided to give it a try this morning. Thus, this is my first bento attempt…
Frankly, the cooking part is easy but I am clueless on how to make them cute. LOL! I haven’t collected a lot of fancy bento stuffs, so there is still a long way to go. Besides that, my gal doesn’t quite fancy the rice as it’s too dry by the time she ate it. Maybe I still need to prepare some gravy or soup, so let’s see how. But both of them like the chicken balls in teriyaki sauce. It’s so simple to be prepared with minced chicken meat.
I think I will try pasta or sandwiches some day. Preparing bento is so much fun. Oh ya, maybe I should prepare a set for hubby too huh? That will definitely help him in controlling the cholesterol and he won’t need a blood pressure monitor so soon. LOL!
