Snackboxes on display

The boy (we shall call him Mr Roast Meat) whom this blog was started for has entered Primary school and is, for some reason, very shy about buying food from the school tuckshop. So after his chickenpox stint at the start of Primary One last year (on the first day of school, no less!) I started packing a snackbox (aka bento) for him to bring to school everyday. Here is today's.

Initially, I did not prepare bentos for his elder sister (Takoyaki) who was in P4 at the time, because she had been fine with buying food. However, she became interested in the boxes that I was preparing for her brother, and also started CCA which required her to then take two meals in school, so she started asking me for bentos on some days. As things worked out pretty well, she now brings bentos three days a week. This gives me some breathing space, as I normally prepare hers the night before. Here was hers today.
