Bento #189 - Sweet and sour pork

Oh dear, it has been such a long time since I update my bentos! Have been pretty busy lately and I update my Instagram more often so do follow me if you want to know what we have been up to ya?

Actually since the beginning of term 3, I have been preparing bentos every day (previously 3 days a week) for R1 because he is paying off his debt and gets no pocket money. So it's actually a punishment for me right? Haaaa....What about his debt? Okay, he wanted to give up his wushu lessons so he has to return his dad the money as the fees has already been paid.
