My son has been buying his own food in school since he started school. I thought it's a good practice for him to be independent and for him to learn how to handle money.
However, I noticed that for the last couple of days, he did not eat during recess because he came back with all money I gave him for recess. I told him I had to let him bring food to school and the first thing he ask for is rice. :P That's because his school does not have rice other than nasi lemak.
This is the simple fried rice I prepared for him today. It's with shredded carrot, baby corn, prawns and star-shaped fish cake. If you wondering why the rice seems yellow, there's nothing wrong with the photo. I fried the rice coated with egg, hence the yellow hue. ;)

ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments.
ReplyDeleteFor info, the star-shaped fish cake is bought. I didn't make it. Though, I wished I knew how. :)
May I know where did you buy the star shaped fish cake?
ReplyDeleteHi Wokkingmum,
ReplyDeleteCould you please tell me where to get those bento-making tools? They are so cute! The shape cutters (for ham/carrots/bread), giraffe pick (shown in another post), rice moulds and silicone cups?
I only managed to find a set of shape cutters at Daiso and I'm trying to make bentos for my daughter.
@Pearl, I bought mine mostly from Daiso. You can try Takashimaya. I understand they have very nice bento making stuff there too.
