Simple meals can be made to look really appetizing and enticing if you do some ‘touch up’ or ‘make up’ to it, like placing the food in nice bowls, plates and decorating the food. My princess wannabe is one such aesthetic fella. She likes food decorated tastefully and presented to her, like it was fit for a princess. Since I don’t have the time to do tedious deco on the food like some bento enthusiasts who would spend hours decorating their kids’ meals elaborately, the least I could do is to arrange her meals in a bento set since she is one Japanese foodie. Each day, there is a different bento set for her. This is just one of the sets:
Home-cooked Jar Jiang Mien (Udon used) with carrot-orange-apple-celery juice (home-blended) and a free-range chicken egg. The egg was later mashed and added with some mayo and pepper.
Yesterday, I made bread Sushi, presented to her in a bento set meal too and this fella was grinning from ear to ear when she saw her set. Pix of the next bento set coming up soon…

This jadi also lah. Very nicely presented. Sure your princess enjoyed her meal. Looking forward to your next bento pic.
lovely. so did she finish her meals asap when you serve it to her nicely? err…do the other 2 princesses get their bento too?
Barb, #3 is not fussy.. yet, she eats everything given to her now. I only prepare the meals in bento set for #2 & #1 😀
Barb, oh yes, she walloped her meal asap without any fuss!
3 kids and running your online store, and you still have time to “touch up” and “make up” the bento set for your daughter, you are really hardworking mom.
Sheoh Yan, if I had the time, I think I would do all those elaborate bento sets too as I am also an aesthetic person 😀
wah…so nice!
I would like my meal to present this way too 🙂 Btw, where did you get this bento set?
