#Bento 53 - Hamburger Bear

It was a lovely weekend again. We went for a picnic at NUS u town for an alumni event. It's breezy and not too crowded, unlike some other picnic events that we have been too....the crowd is ermmm...so much so I have decided not to participate in any more picnic events.But this event organized by NUS is different,maybe also because of the timing..it's held during the evening so it's more cooling. The event ended off with a movie screening of Big Hero 6..really love the adorable Baymax!
I prepared some mini bear burgers with homemade patties for the boys. We had a fabulous time of course!

Bento #52 Sesame Oil Chicken

All time favorite and easy to cook dish. Sesame oil,ginger and lots of spring onion is a marvelous combination.Not to forget my favorite air fryer egg.

Bento #51 - Panda bento for colleague

Prepared this for my colleague today. Panda rice balls (as requested) with teriyaki chicken. As you can see, the egg is a disaster because my hands slipped and oops too much of the mixed herbs! Looks really ugly but then I really wish to make the bento more sumptuous so I still put the egg in, knowing that my kind hearted colleague won't mind.

Felt a little guilty using disposable boxes, I thought it will be more convenient but it really isn't environmental friendly!I guess I shall stock up on some Daiso lunch boxes in future. Love the beautiful wax paper though.

I feel really happy when I see my colleague's face beaming with joy and enjoying the food that I have prepared. It's the best reward that I get. Would really love to cater bento boxes to more but due to my limited capability and time, I'm sorry to say that I can only prepare at most 2-3 bentos every morning.
And.....erm...........I'm not a really good cook to begin with...............=]

Bento #50 Chicken stew

Chicken stew for my hubby's lunch. Marinated the wings with oyster sauce and Italian herbs and throw into my thermal pot,together with some carrots, mushrooms and potatoes the previous night. And the next morning, I just need to steam my veges and my lunch boxes are ready!

Bento #49 Miso Salmon Onigiri

A very simple but well spent jubilee weekend.Can't help but feel my heartache and tears flowing when I saw the tribute to Mr Lee Kuan Yew.I really do see something of him everywhere in Singapore.I guess the best way to thank him is to move on in life,be grateful and put in our best effort to contribute to Singapore.I'm extremely proud to be a Singaporean!

As everywhere is full of people, we decided to go West Coast park for a picnic. Prepared miso salmon onigiri (above) using the onigiri mold that I've bought from Daiso and I think the end product looks (and tastes) really good!I really adore Daiso.Am already looking forward to the next shopping trip to Daiso.Besides bento-ing,my other hobby is organizing my home...everything deserves its own space...they must be in a basket,box or some sort of organizer.I just feel really satisfied seeing everything in order and organized.Daiso offers lots of value for money stuffs.

First time pitching our tent.My #2 loves it as he  imagined it to be an igloo.And I'm really impressed that my hubby managed to set it up pretty fast.
We played with the sand,playgrounds,enjoyed our food,the breeze,the greenery and reward ourselves with some MacDonald ice-cream.
It's a really happy and fruitful day for us.I can see that my boys really enjoyed themselves.
It's free.It's Priceless.

Bento #48 - Doraemon chicken rice

Doraemon chicken rice for my son's lunch today. I especially like its nose which is actually the tip of a cherry tomato. The chickens are marinated with soy sauce, mixed herbs, olive oil and brushed on with honey during the last 5 min of baking.

I think it's really time for me to get a pincer for bento making.......it will definitely make my job easier.

Looking forward to the jubilee weekends!

Bento #47 - Baked fish with Garlic Mayonnaise

I love this dish simply because I love mayonnaise. I think that anything tastes good with mayonnaise! I used sea bass fish today, but can't wait to try it with cod fish,it'll definitely taste even better.

I mixed Japanese mayonnaise with garlic powder and olive oil and spread it generously on the fish,thereafter bake it in the oven for 12-15min at 200 deg,depending on the thickness of the fish.

Really think the mayonnaise spread will go well with anything,chicken,salmon,prawns? Anything else you can think of?

Recipe adapted from wokkingmum's.

Yumz!!
