My First Published Bento on Magazine

17. August 2009, 20:59 UhrBento, Featured Bentoshoppingmum30 comments

A couple of months ago, I received an email from Elsevier Magazine inquiring if they could publish my bento. I was basically in cloud nine when I got the email! How flattering that my bentos got noticed at Flickr and one of them was going to be published! (Ok, I shiok sendiri a bit la :P )

 

Elsevier Magazine is a Dutch magazine, and they wanted to do an article about bentos on a special issue about Japan. Besides me, Anna the Read, Luckysundae and Sheree’s bentos were featured too. I can’t recognize the other bentoers even if the bentos looked familiar. Please let me know if you know the bentoers and I shall post up their links.

 

Too bad I can’t read Dutch, but it’s going to be something I treasure a lot. LOL!

 

Yeap, that’s the bento! The one with the sleeping bunny. :)

    Hi, Amy. This is Siew Hwa’s sister here, Saesack. Not sure you can recall? I was introduced by my sister to check out your interesting blog. It is really amazing. What I can recall is you’re a great student back to high school. Now, you are a career woman & great cook.

    I never love cooking. I’m kind of attracted to the bentos which you were preparing for your kids. Well, I hope I will pick up some skills from your blog. May I know where can I get the bento’s tool from?

    Way to go, mummy.
