Kids Bento ~ Mice Egg Tofu & Broccoli

It is a simple bento that serving on lettuce leaves adds another veggie to the meal.

I stir fried green beans, carrots and broccoli, and pan-fried Japanese Tofu.

And I boiled the hard boiled egg for a mice shape with 2 little slices of crab sticks on the top of the egg.

I made the heart shaped for the rice with some seaweed sheets on top. It is a “funny Bento”.

I still need a lot of practice to make a nice one!

Cheeky Annabelle

Photos were taken 3 days ago. Look at this little young lady, with her own styles.

Children’s Medals

These photos were taken 2 days ago. It is all the medals that Issac and Annabelle achieved in their school. Mostly are the Sports Day Medals which every kid will get one during the event.

The more special medal to me is Issac’s as Best Improvement Student in his class. This really touched me a lot! From previous years in school, he was always the naughty kid among his classmates, but this year he have learned something and improve from his playful character.

Mummy feels so glad watching he is growing up everyday.

Kids Bento ~ Fried Rice & Seaweed Soup

Today we have the Chinese Style Fried Rice and the Seaweed Soup for kids. Additional there are jelly and chocolate desserts after meals.

    

Simple dinner for all of us.

Kids Bento ~ Little Mice with Cheese Sandwich

Today is a Sunday. Another working day for Daddy, so only three of us at home. After the morning baths, we are having Dim Sum as our breakfast together with Daddy before Daddy went to work.

Mummy wants to try something on using white bread as a base. Because I know that both Issac and Belle like to eat bread with kaya spread.

So, a simple 2 slices of white bread with kaya spread. Triangle shape of cheese on top, the holes is made out from the animals cutters. The little mice is actually a hard boiled egg, with the 2 slices of sausages as it’s ears, seaweed as its eyes, carrots as moustache, and cheese as its small mouth and tails. Ha-ha, well, first time doing, so not so nice especially the eyes.

Issac waited so excitedly and anxiously because wants to eat the mice. He ate roughly half an egg, eventually told me that he do not want already because the egg yolk. Then, he finished up the bread. Belle the same as well.

Emm… quite difficult to get them eat another little mice or little chicken already next time, have to think of something else. But, probably next time, can improve my skills again. At least, the children eat!

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.

Tadika Brainchild Sports Day 17 Jul 2010

This year Tadika Brainchild Sports Day was held on Saturday, just like previous year.

This year is the first time that Annabelle joined the Sports Day event.

And, it is special as this year too the Sports Day were joined by both brother and sister.

The event started with the children marching out from the class rooms to the little field in front of the school building.

And, all the children had to wear the school P.E. T-shirt with socks and sports shoes.

After all the opening speech by the principal, and a performance from the children.

The games started as like last year the older children first.

Issac was walking on a plank of timber wood and combination of few games. He was enjoying himself!

After the games, all the children deserved a token of price – a medal for the great job they have done!

Next was the younger children turn, as Annabelle started her games too.

She enjoyed the games with her team and friends too! She got a medal too!

Besides the medals, all the kids have a goodie bags from the school too. I took a photo of both of them at the end of the game.

It was a fun activity and day too for all of us!
