Bento #312 - Kodomo

In the box:  Homemade fried wantons, stir fry chicken with capsicum, melon balls and mayo in container.

We had wanton for lunch and dinner today.  For dinner, Z to help me in the kitchen.  Actually both my boys were supposed to help me this evening but Beanie fell asleep.  L was busied with her school work.

He volunteered to help me wrapped the wantons.  His first time doing it and he had fun!  My boys usually are the ones that are very eager to help me in the kitchen.  As for my girl, she would be the first if I need someone to help me finish the food!  Haha..  I know she wants to help but at P5, she has lots of work everyday from school.

Will He Be Proud Of Me?

I am a Hainanese, I've seen my Papa cooked chicken rice many times but I have never tried cooking it myself.  I took for granted my dad will cook it whenever I want to eat.

Before he was very ill, I just have to give him a call when my kiddos & I think of his chicken rice and the next day, he delivered it to us.  He's so sweet....  We are so spoilt by him.  I miss him dearly...  His cooking too.  His mutton soup & chicken rice are the BEST!

He often said I should learn this coz I'm a Hainanese but I laughed and said "No need!  You cook for me when I want to eat it."  Sigh... After so many years, my mom knows how to cook this dish too but somehow, it is just different from my dad's.  I dare not ask my mom to cook this for us nowadays, knowing how emotional she is.

I cooked chicken rice today...  As I was cooking it, I teared.... I wonder if he will be proud that I am learning how to cook this dish?

Bento #292 - Frogs

In the boxes:  Homemade sesame chicken nuggets, cucumber & crabstick salad, sliced oranges, flower shaped quail eggs & cube cheese.

Love how the froggie turned out even though I didn't use anything to make it green. I didn't spend lots of time on the bento except for frying the nuggets.  Perhaps next time I should coat all the nuggets earlier.

*****************

Made more sausage buns for the kiddos.  I would love to try making other bread but first, I must keep feeding them sausage buns till they get tired of it.

Bacon Onion Buns

My first attempt in making this. Kiddos wanted sausage buns so made some for them too.  Note to myself:  must roll more filling into it.   Review from my family:  They love it!
