Clear Pantry waaiiiiiiiit a minute...

I just have to concede that I ran out of ideas and foods. And was too lazy to brainstorm.

Bangers and Spaghetti

Actually we had mash for dinner but he preferred to bring spag today instead so I indulged him. Cooking angel hair spaghetti is a snap anyway.

Teriyaki Chicken Pastry (Storebought)

From Mugiho Bakery.

Sino-Jap Bento - Cold Udon with Chinese Stir-fried Greens and Surimi

The weather see-saws between rainy and hazy-hot every few days so I wasn't sure whether I should give it to him or not. It's always a gamble, and I was lucky this time. Lovely hot sunshine for Roast Meat to enjoy his cool noodles.

TLC Bento Day

Roast Meat has no school for the rest of this week thanks to PSLE marking days, so I channelled my energy and TLC towards making a bento for Takoyaki (who, alas, will no longer have PSLE marking days holiday). Although I've lost much of my mojo for kyaraben, I'm not adverse to making use of the tools I have to sweeten things up a little d:)

Menu:

Cut and "stamped" cheese sandwiches

Taiwanese sausages

Fruits and cukes

I loved packing this box up with food. Takoyaki can eat a lot if she's in the mood. Gone are the days of trying to find a smaller bento box for the pitiful amount they could eat in lower primary. Hang on, I've got one more Mouse who has yet to hit the system...

Finally Friday - Clear Pantry Bento

Friday is very much a Clear Pantry Day for me. Partly because my battery is almost flat by then, and partly because Thursday is when my part time cleaner comes and cleans up our pigsty, so I try to keep the kitchen clean after that by NOT COOKING d:) (What a great excuse, haha.)

Today's menu:

Weet-Bix Bites which are just the right size for bentos

Apple wedges (nothing fancy, I'm pooped)

Broccoli

Cheese sticks (cut from a block of cheddar cheese)

Happy weekend! We shall spend ours revising for RM's Science paper, so probably not that happy or relaxing....

Crustless Quiche

Which is what I made with the extra filling and eggs for Tuesday's Mini Quiches. No crust this time, lazy.

Menu:

Flower onigiris with furikake and quinoa

Crustless quiche

Cukes

Tomatoes

Grapes

Terrific Tuesday - Mini Quiche

After the half-success of the Bacon & Egg Cups, here's my next "mini" challenge to myself - mini quiches. Inspired by my friend Yee-fun Lee who made them recently for her daughters' bentos, I finally took the plunge on the weekend.

Mini quiches cooling

The verdict is "yummy" by all, so we're good to put this into bento rotation.

Two Quiches And A Salad

Kimchi Chicken Pocket Sandwiches

For the last school day of this week (for Roast Meat, since tomorrow is the Children's Day holiday), RM requested for these sandwiches which I think I once made him... last year? at home.

He wanted TWO pocket sarnies, which I originally agreed to give him, but then I remembered that one pro of bento is portion control. RM is somewhat overweight so overeating is definitely a no-no.

Hence, I just packed whatever could fit snugly inside his box, and honestly this should be mighty filling for a 10yo's recess.

This is a 650ml box.
