Not as colourful today, but rather comfort food.
Tom Yum soup with prawns (I actually didn’t have the proper chili paste so it’s not as red as it should be), rice, some veggie wontons and a few sugar snap peas and a cherry tomato for decoration.

I don’t know about you, but when I read “Spring Food Sensations” on Abby’s blog, my mind immediately sprang to rhubarb. Rhubarb is to me the ultimate spring messenger, and a delicacy to boot!
When I was little, I used to eat it in a preserve, or a sponge cake with rhubarb pieces on top (delicious!). [...]

Why do so many people complain that when they’re home alone or cooking just for themselves, they never make anything good?
My mom never did that, and neither do I. After all, I count myself as the person who appreciates good food in the household (so does she), and why shouldn’t we make good food for [...]

Pumpkin soup with bell-shaped pasta and vegetable “croutons” in the thermos container; mixed fruit in silicone muffin cups (for easier removal because I’ll use the container as soup bowl) in the bowl container.

Half of this is still uneaten because the lady at the blood donor station I was scheduled at today took one look at me and told me to get a “proper breakfast and lunch while you’re at it”. Oh well, it was just leftover soup anyway.
Thermos mug: Tomato and cream soup with rice, onion and [...]

I made a lot of nummy food over the weekend, so I put all the leftovers into bentos!
…yes, I’m a glutton - but I don’t eat breakfast, so bringing an extra box is OK, right?
First, my two boxes for work:
Pre-dish - butternut squash soup and condiments (wholewheat toast croutons with sesame, thai basil, carrot strips, [...]

Not much going on bento-wise for me recently because of work-related stress and general end-of-winter tiredness. My stomach was feeling the neglect… so it demanded light, non-fatty food today!
Upper and lower layer: Storebought frozen veggie and kimchi dumplings on stirfried asparagus, broccoli, mushrooms and squash; bottle of dip sauce
Middle layer (breakfast): Two apple bunnies, a [...]

You know you're addicted to bentoing when you get a new box just to show off your new tools…
HK box: Fried vegetable rice with an omelette chick, and sweetnsour sauce in an extra container because I'm not such a fan of ketchup.
Breakfast/Predish: All the ingredients for a miso soup in the upper tier of my [...]
