Bento 198

There was no need for any cooking this morning. It took me less than 5 minutes to put this together. #2's favorite Kiwi and some Malaysian tea-time favorite 'kuih dadar'.



I made a fresh batch of Ratatouille yesterday alongside cooking dinner and the whole pot went into the fridge.

I was grocery shopping yesterday with #3 and we found "Hainan bread" the ones they serve at coffee shops. It's being sold at Jusco now. #3 exclaimed loudly "Mummy, that's the bread I used to eat when I was younger right?" Yeah! I used to buy them at the wet market and so I bought a large loaf of it to reminiscence old times.....


The snack bento below was prepared for #1 yesterday for college. Her classes were in the afternoon and in a good mood and said yes to a snack bento. It's a promising beginning.


Some skinned grapes, home made chocolate chip cookies and 'kuih lapis'.

Do u think we spoil our kids by skinning the skins of grapes for them? Actually I find it kind-na therapeutic to peel the skins, funny aren't i?

I thought those grapes were peeled!!

OMG - am I a failure as a mother (for not peeling grapes or other fruit for the 13 yo boy) or am I a success making sure he gets fiber in his diet??

Bento Pet said...

eilismaura: Mums try to do their best for their kids - how can they be deemed as 'failures'?

javapot finds skinning grapes a therapeutic process, I skinned mine because the skin had a bitter taste to it, you didn't for more fibre - I think we all did well!

3 cheers for mums!

LOL I had the same "People skin grapes?? Oh my goodness." reaction :)

Oh no! My four year old daughters refuse to eat grapes with skin. Please don't tell me I'll be peeling grapes until they're in college.

Bento Pet said...

Tarcoulis: Hahaha! You've already set a precedent, there's no turning back unless you teach her to peel the grapes herself.

*Mummy power*

Lynn: Mothers are a 'weird' lot aren't they? LOL!
