Bento #247

Another 'simple' no frills bento. Kind-na stashed my bento accessories away except for a few simple items.

In this bento - Flower shaped onigri with pan fried fish, meat patties and some stir fried vegetables.

Bento #246

A super quick one as MP was already late for his activity. Er, if you didn't notice with the extra large chilli, this bento is for me. Could have added some picks, baran or even faces to make it 'cuter' or even an extra tau-fu-pok to turn it into a butterfly (maybe) but NO TIME - rush, pack, GONE!!

In this bento - Yong tau foo, kim chi, korean seaweed side dish, another korean anchovies and peanut side dish with mangoes for dessert. There is a Korean grocery shop in Desa Sri Hartamas called 'Lotte' (how original huh?) - they sell fresh homemade kim chi and its shiokadilicious!! Its quite spicy too with a slightly heavy garlic flavour - I just love it!!! :)

HEAPS better than the poorly made kim chi sold in pasar malam which taste SUPER vinegar sour and also the cabbage doesn't taste that fresh, pre-cut into small bits unlike the one I got in Lotte which is packed whole with the heart (well if you get the smaller tub then it might be cut in the centre into quarters but still 'whole' - much better presentation).

*How not to get cravings for Korean food especially watching the actors stuff their face in all situations and nodding so appreciatively the great taste!! Talk about effective food commercials, they do it so well and naturally - ha ha*
