Collection of last week's bentos:
Monday – Yiu Yiu loves noodles, and whenever we eat out and ask what she wants, 80% of the time it would be noodles. This was a simple blanched dried noodle tossed in oil, soy sauce and oyster sauce. Added two home-made meatballs and decorated it with some French beans. Overestimated the quantity of the beans so I didn't have enough to complete the whole row :-) She had some grapes for fruits.

Tuesday – kamaboko with stuffed carrot and French beans. I prepared this for the school party few weeks ago and the container came back empty but I had no idea if she liked it. I found my answer this round as babysitter said she didn’t eat them at school and refused to eat them at her house too. Okie, looks like I have to finish the rest of the kamaboko in my fridge. At the side is some sliced rambutan flesh.
Wednesday – pan fried a marinated drummet, which she finished, but she didn't touch the chocolate flavoured mantou and steamed corn.
Thursday – a simple bento with some mini-biscuits, heart-shaped hard-boiled egg and one of her favourite fruits – rose apple. The egg looked horrible, coz the yolk was a little undercooked so I couldn't make a clean nice cut across. In the pink bottle is some soy sauce to go with the egg.
Friday – another simple bento with one of those commercially packed chocolate cake (can't remember the brand). Fried some home-made fish fingers for protein and added rose apples for vitamins. Unfortunately, save for the fruits, the cake and fish fingers came back untouched. SIGH!!! I took a bite of the cake, and it didn't taste very nice – little wonder the fussy eater didn't eat it.

Ley Mei - it's difficult when we have fussy eaters, isn't it? Drummet with noodles? If only YY is as easy to please as you are :-)
The drummet and fish fingers look yummy! Wish I have the time and patience to prepare yummy bentos for HQ too...
BoeyJoey - you can prepare many of these in bulk and freeze them. In the mornings, just defrost and cook them. Can be quite quick to prepare.
