Kids Bento ~ Sushi Rolls & Fried Pork with Broccoli

Today after the Family Fun Day came back from school, both kids were tired very soon after they had taken their bath, they soon slept on the bed already.

I quickly took my opportunities sneak out to Giant and Mydin find my bento box for the kids.

Giant do not have much choice except a lot food containers. There were a few choices at Mydin, which I have chosen 2 types of bento boxes which 2 each for the kids.

Well, it is not actually like the Japanese Bento Box, but it is quite cheap as the boxes are big enough at RM3.90 only.

Mummy is going to prepare my very first bento for Issac and Belle ( Ha-ha…if the outcome can consider a bento at all ). This is my first time, so wanted to do something simple and I don’t think I can do anything complicated yet as it would be our lunch box at home, but something can filled the stomach full as this would be our late lunch.

So ok, cooked some rice, try out the Japanese vinegar which Mummy bought at Jaya Grocery the other day, with the sushi roll mould and seaweed.

For the rice, Mummy mixed some hard boiled egg yolk inside to make the rice a bit yellowish in colour. Then, with 2 stripes of seaweed.

The bigger rolls for Issac and smaller rolls for Belle, small rolls with the seaweeds.

Mummy fried the sliced pork with some seasoning and oyster sauce and boiled the broccoli and carrot.

Mummy used the cutters to cut out into heart shape and flower shape. All put into a silicone portion cup.

With small tomatoes with the colour vegetables picks bought last week too. The bento is not full, hope the colourful combinations will attract the kids to eat well.

So here it goes, my first bento for Issac and Bell. Nothing fancy, and nothing cute, but this is all Mummy can do with limited skills and tools.

And Mummy was so happy this evening when seeing both Issac and Belle ate their rice. Issac loves the seaweeds but Belle doesn’t, but both ate a little beat of pork, carrot and broccoli. They do not like the mini tomatoes at all… Hopefully the next Bento they will eat more.
