1st attempt on Bento Set

A bento lunch is a compact, balanced, visually appealing meal packed in a box. Historically, it’s a Japanese box lunch, similar in concept to the Indian tiffin, the Korean dosirak, or the Filipino baon lunch. In Japanese, “bento” or “obento” refers to the packed meal, and “bento-bako” refers to the bento box itself. - adapted from Lunch in a Box

of course I'm not so skillful to make those too-cute-to-eat kind of Bento and it was a last minute kind of urge to make one for Lil Ariel after reading one of the Mummy's blog. I do not have the right kind of bento box too, so I used the Zojirushi thermal container. I will try to pay Daiso a visit to get the equipments.

I woke up at 6.30am today to prepare!! the silly Lil Ariel was up at that time too. she said "No no" when I tried to sneak out of the room. I had to tell her that I'm going outside to get rid of the witch.

anyway, the contents of the Bento set were Tempura Codfish, Grilled Asparagus and Grilled Chicken with BBQ sauce (did not put too much sauce in case it is too salty). the result was not too bad, except that the asparagus were a bit over-cooked cuz I was busy ransacking the fridge for lettuce.

and TADA!!!



I made Lil Ariel say "WAH!!!!" when I was removing the cover and she gladly obliged. well, she ate all except the asparagus. oh, she had spiral pasta to go with this.

will find a chance for a 2nd attempt. :D

Tzee Horse??

Lil Ariel: This book nice.
proceeds to take the Disney Princess story book that I bought for her 2 years ago from the pile of storybooks.
Lil Ariel: Tzee horse, where?
Daddy Sam and I gave each other a curious look.
Mummy: What is tzee horse? Do you mean big horse?
Lil Ariel thought for a while and nodded her head.
Daddy: Oh... Okay, Daddy help you find.
Daddy flipped through the pages and found a picture with Prince Charming and his horse.
Daddy: Is it this one?
Lil Ariel: Noooo....
She flipped the pages frantically herself and Mummy tried to prevent the pages from tearing.
Lil Ariel: This tzee horse.
Daddy and Mummy: Oh... SEAHORSE....

Baby Arlow

Lil Ariel has a toy handphone from his Baba, which she calls it Baby Arlow.

recently she will picks it up and put to her ears and say, "Arlow... Uh huh... Bye bye." then place it back or threw it on the floor and ran away. before that, she will say (and wave) bye bye to the phone after placing the it down; cuz I told her that she has to say Bye Bye when she is putting down her phone. :P
