Bento Banter - Bento # 1

I love bento lunch boxes of different designs and shapes and I like anything  Japanese ....small portion of food packed  in a bento box...how nice...it helps to reduce my food intake by half and it keeps me happy when the food comes small and dainty :)  Not necessary it must be Japanese food but bento comes originally from the Japanese .  I packed mine here for the Bento Banter and I have to thank Biren of  Roti And Rice who is kind to invite me to join the Bento Banter group.

So here is my first bento lunch pack  I am sharing with all of you.  Bento food somehow taste better psychologically.....agree with me?  This bento box is quite cute , though it is meant for kiddies but I like the two tiers....just what I wanted so I carted it back :)  the right size for my lunch...have to control my diet...the doctor said I have gained 4 kg and have to do something about it.   Eat less fatty stuff and exercise more but looking at the food packed here, I doubt I will be able to shed off some fat :p  

Have to prepare a list of healthy stuff for my next take to office bento :)  fruits and salad would be great LOL! I sprinkled some seaweed on my white rice and top with carrot flower to make it more appetizing :)  Wow...how a simple sprinkle of nori flakes could make plain rice looks appealing :)  

Top tier  :- plain rice with nori flakes and decorated with two carrot flowers :)

Bottom Tier :- 
Homemade tofu 

Spinach egg roll 

Pan fried teriyaki chicken slices

It is fun preparing your own lunch and packed them 

in bento box...have a get more bento boxes when

I next visit a Japanese shop....Daiso maybe !

love this bento lunch box..suitable for

kiddies but also good for me....I smile each time

I look at it....not just the cheerful cute animal cartoons

but the food inside cheers me up....

food served in small portion and decorated....

love it and I shall make more bento lunches

in future.....................................

Have a wonderful Bento Day :)
