bento

...rajinnya ibu ini menghias bekal makanan anaknya (bukan hias untuk seorang anak tetapi 3 orang anak perempuan, tabik spring orang kata) Kak Monie kongsi bento Puan Nor Khaliza Wati MohadKholil  yang diambil dari FB via majalah Rasa. Tahniah puan walaupun Kak Monie tak mengenali beliau tetapi Kak Monie kagum dengan puan. Bangun seawal 4 pagi untk menyediakan makanan dan hiasan ini. Semoga dapat memberi inspirasi kepada ibu yang anak mereka tidak suka kepada makanan.

Kak Monie ketinggalan tentang nama hiasan ni...bento, tetapi Kak Monie tak hirau sangat (tak ambil pot). Dunia dah berubah sebab anak-anak dah besar, tak hias makanan pun habis nasi dan gulai seperiuk.

Rajin tak PUAN-PUAN?

Bento (弁当 bentō)^[1] is a single-portion take-out or home-packed meal common in Japanese cuisine. A traditional bentoholds rice or noodles, fish or meat, with pickled and cooked vegetables, in a box.^[2] Containers range from disposable mass-produced to hand-crafted lacquerware. Bentos are readily available in many places throughout Japan, including convenience stores, bento shops (弁当屋 bentō-ya), railway stations, and department stores. However, Japanese homemakers often spend time and energy on a carefully prepared lunch box for their spouse, child, or themselves.

Bentos can be elaborately arranged in a style called "kyaraben" ("character bento"). Kyaraben are typically decorated to look like popular characters from Japanese animation (anime), comic books (manga), or video games. Another popular bentostyle is "oekakiben" or "picture bento". This is decorated to look like people, animals, buildings and monuments, or items such as flowers and plants. Contests are often held where bento arrangers compete for the most aesthetically pleasing arrangements.

There are similar forms of boxed lunches in Asian countries including the Philippines (baon), Korea (dosirak), Taiwan (bian tang in Mandarin and “bendong” in Taiwanese) and India (tiffin). Also, Hawaiian culture has adopted localized versions of bento featuring local tastes after over a century of Japanese influence in the islands.
