The green item was a problem. Ran out edamame and frenchbeans, and tired of sweetpeas and broccoli. Then remembered both LZmommy and Rachel made asparagus wrapped with bacon. So tried that out. Looked good, right? Made two rolls, with five stalks of asparagus. Apparently that was too much vegie for girlet, she only ate the roll with two stalks in it. Maybe I should roll the asparagus individually next time.
After spending way too much time deciding what to pack for the above bento, resolved to make a speedy bento for the next. And nothing much is faster than bread and leftovers. So kaya and nutella pinwheels for carbo, and NgorHian (minced pork/prawn wrapped with beancurd sheet) for protein. Added two Japanese dessert, purple with lotus paste (I think) and pink with green tea. While making the sandwich, set girlet to cut out the dragonfruit. She chose a tiara shape which unfortunately can't be seen under all the picks she used.
No greens? Haha, I was counting pandan kaya as a green item. So was the green tea filling of the Japanese dessert. ^_^

Both the bento look good :) And I love Japanese dessert!
For the bacon roll, you may want to try to roll it slanting, so that to cover all the greens. If it doesn't stick together, you can dab a little flour before frying. That's what I did :)
Hope you don't find me too kaypoh :p
Hi..thanks dear for mentioning my blog *blush*..
hee..for the bacon rollm mine a little different from LZmommy...I "blanch"the bacon in hot water to remove some of the saltiness and oil first, then wrap it up with the green and mushroom and grill it...
hope u won't find me kaypoh too : P
wow..I admire your little girl's palate. My Kimberly won't touch gor hian, nor dragon fruit because she says it's an angry colour. sigh..
Nor does she like Japanese desserts or sushi. picky picky. Wish my kids would eat like yours do, then I would have more choice of food in bento. Ha ha.
but love your bento, nevertheless.
wow, you're the best mummy in the whole world ! Wish I have the time to do that..
lzmommy & rachel : of course you're not kaypoh. All tips are most welcomed. Will try out your methods. Wouldn't have thought of them myself. Thanks!
Hi there, was at Allthingpsurple's place noticed your callsign...nice bento boxes and the food. Bet your kids love it, huh?
Have a great weekend, Lee.
allthingspurple : Thanks. Girlet is not that adventurous - an ongoing battle for her to eat vegies. We mummies just have to persevere and continue introducing new tastes.
min & u.lee : Thanks for visiting *_*
