Bento No# 50: Little Man Bento

This was my bento on 8 Mar 12. Hubby requested for somen for his breakfast. Forgot to de-freeze the sausages for deco, I used cherry tomato for decoration. Stick the face details put a little hat on it. Lastly, use green baran to décor the side. I packed the sauce separately in the thermos so the sauce can keep cold. I learnt this from a bento mum. :) However, my blur blur hubby, took out the thermos although I have actually put the thermos and the box together. *sweat* And on his way to office, he asked me where is the sauce. I asked him settle himself. LOL. I asked him how he settled his somen this morning after he came back from work. He said he bought meehoon soup and use the soup to eat together. Hahahaha

Bento No# 15: Somen Bento

Before hubby starts complaining his everyday BREAD bento, I quickly think of any food to pack as breakfast for him. I sees some of the bento bloggers actually use rice, mee, soba, somen, etc. Rice, fried mee definitely out from me (temporarily). So my only choice is the simple one, soba or somen. The weekend, I bought a pack of somen, a pack of soba, the sauce (tsuyu) from Jusco. I watched youtube on how to prepare the somen. Pretty easy. Cook the somen like maggi mee (I am expert on this, LOL) and rinse with the cold water. After that, take out somen in a mouthful portion one by one to the ice-cold water big bowl. As for the dipping sauce, mix one tsuyu sauce with ice-cold water. The portion is 1:1. Simple isn’t it??

As for the bento, I packed the dipping sauce in the food cube. 6 portion of mouthful somen in the bento box and I also packed a few boiled baby carrots in it. Hubby dropped me email at work saying that he loves the somen I made for him. *yay, yay, yay* *dancing and jumping on the floor*. Yeah. Simple appreciation words really brighten up my day! I am sure you do. J
