Bentos # 38 & 39 : Hummus and turkey nuggets

• Tortilla bread and hummus for dipping
• Cherry tomatoes
• Chicken nuggets
• Rice with peas
• Extra container with apple slices
• A can of cola for him and an apple juice for me

We bought the hummus at a local fast food joint run by an Eastern European guy called Jamil. To be honest I have no idea where exactly he’s from but he sells amazing home-cooked delicacies like hummus and baba ghanoush. I always forget that his little shop exists but every now and then I have a tasty rediscovery. I hope this time I remember!

Bentos # 36 & 37 : First day of school

My boyfriend just started school – yay! – and now I’ll be making bentos for both of us. Here’s the first pair of school bentos.

• Ham & cheese sandwiches with a little mayo
• Cinnamon rolls
• Turkey nuggets
• Cherry tomatoes
• Pear slices

Martin doesn’t enjoy sandwiches that much but since I’m making the food I get to decide these things. I just really felt like some sammies instead of the usual warm lunch. This was good but my lil’ man needs more food than what can fit in my “women’s bentos”. So we’ve ordered a bigger one for him and an onigiri box for us both to share. Did I mention we’re going to the same school? :3

I ordered lots of other stuff which I’ll be posting as soon as I get a good shot of it. Stay tuned!

Bento # 35 : It’s a wrap!

• In the lid: Crisp bread with fig spread
• Chocolate muesli, raisins and apples (to be mixed with strawberry yogurt in HK container)
• Wrapped beef tortilla with extra cheddar topping in the other HK container

This bento was SO good. We’ve had quite a few tortillas lately but I’m thinking we’ll take a break from it now. We can’t even get around to eating the last leftovers… *wipes the cheddar off my chin* Phew.

My mom used to give my sis and me fig spread in our lunches when we were little. I had a sort of love/hate thing going on. On one hand I kinda liked it but on the other hand it wasn’t a very cool thing to bring, which concerned me at 9 years old. Luckily I’m over that and a few days ago I found it again in my super market. You’ll be seeing more of it, for sure.

Bento # 34 : Teriyaki never fails

• In the lid: Crisp bread
• Grapes and carrot bits
• Teriyaki chicken with spinach noodles and veggies
• Apple juice

Even though teriyaki never fails… sometimes my taking pictures does. Sorry for the lousy shot. It’s a dark & early morning shot which I’ve tried to fix w/Photoshop.
