My Bento #2
2008-01-08 04:02:00
Tomorrow’s lunch will be very light because I have a company’s meeting and they’re going to ruin my 4 months of low-carbing for some damn pizza. I don’t know if it’s an obligation to sit in a meeting with everyone there and for me to turn down a slice of pizza? And the president is the one behind the idea of ordering the pizza. Would that be disrespectful? What do you guys think? Anyways, regardless of my judgement for tomorrow, i’m still packing my bento #2 tonight in case. I hate end up starving and passing out during the meeting. For this meal, i’m using the Puppy Bento box, it’s just too darn cute and i love animals so it fits well with me. top: this is actually the bottom tier. Seasoned fried bean curd pockets stuffed with alfafa sprouts and scrambled tamagoyaki. I garnished it with more sprouts, carrots and celery leaves and a few dabs of red hot sriracha sauces on the eggs. bottom: left: cherry tomatoes speared with some cu...

My Bento Goods..sort of
2008-01-08 03:51:00
I stopped by a few places that I thought would carry some cute bento boxes today, can’t say that they didn’t have any, but I can say that they don’t have enough of it! I did picked up 3 bento boxes with none of them looking anything japanese-ish. But they are doable because they do have the sections that I like. I have to be quite honest with you, Japanese people have a stomach the size of a pea pod or something. Because their bento boxes, at least the one I bought, are so freaking small. Their meal portion size are about the size of my appetizers. I think i need to move to Japan to lose this last agonizing 15lbs that keeps lingering around. Because I would eat nothing but rice and fish and in small portion and the fact that i’ll be too damn broke to afford food to eat over there. So here are the goods I got:  I got this at Pika Pika store at Discover Mills. The bento box is $4.99 and the cute animal picks are $1.50 per pack. They’re pretty cute. I ...
