I haven’t been packing much bento for Yiu Yiu over the last few weeks coz my stash of frozen food for bentos had run out. Things have been really hectic at work too and so I hadn't the time to replenish the food stuff. Since school reopens on Monday after the week-long break, I took a day off yesterday to prepare these:
Clockwise from top left: Wanton, chicken nugget, drummet, meat balls
All this, plus some chicken stock for Yan Yan's porridge, took five back-breaking hours. I had wanted to prepare fish fingers too, but I was totally spent so that has to be a project for another day.
Beginning next week, Yiu Yiu's kindy will start at 8am instead of 8.30am, which means I have to get up by 6.15am to pack bento for her. She's better polish off her food, else all my hard work will be in vain.

Aww...all the things that a Mom would do for the kids :)
my goodness, 5 hr??? you are wonderful, i am the lazy mum that would just opt for sausages and nuggets...
wah... you are so hard working!
I feel bad now that I am using either cheese or chicken cocktails only! :P
Tat's mum duty...wakeup early to get ready food for our kid. It same goes to me.
Wow...you're such a good Mum! I can't even make it to the preschool at 8.30 am YET
Just got some chicken sausages for him yesterday because the lady said it's all chicken and no preservatives.
And the boy will eat a whole fat cheese sausage on his own so OKlah
oh...sacrifices of a mom.
I pray that I dont reach this stage one day. I need my beauty sleep :(
smallkucing/MeRy - we never know until we become a mum ourselves eh? :-)
Vivianz - this is what you call "sendiri cari susah"...haha.
Angeleyes - but your bentos look so nice leh. Mine is just throwing everything into the bento box.
Kittycat - no choice have to be on time. The kindy closes the main door after certain hour so very paiseh to press the bell for them to open the door.
LittleLamb - enjoy your beauty sleep while you can :-)
Mmmm hope she will make ur wish come true and polished up the food you pack for her. If she doesn't finish, then bring it to Yi Hao la..........maybe he will say 'It Super Duper Yummy' ;)
Wow wow wow... Yiu Yiu is so lucky :-).
wow, respect la! i'm up same time as you as i need to leave the house latest by 7-30am and i dont do bentos. just packed whatever snacks i have at home for rye li and that also if she wants.
Mind to share your recipe ? They look so delicious though is still raw :)
I also prepere bento for my std 1 son, happy if he able to finish all.. May I know how to make the nugget as yours?
WK - she still can't finish them all at kindy, but at least she finishes them at babysitter's.
Boey Joey - if only she knows :-)
Syn - I just want to ensure she gets something more nutritious for her break time.
Juju - thanks for dropping by. If you leave your email, I can email the recipes to you.
Anonymous - mine is pretty simple. Just add salt & pepper to minced chicken. Roll paste into pingpong size balls, coat with flour, egg and flour again, before pressing down to form nuggets.
You can send the recipe to my yahoo mail, jjchuah@yahoo.com. Thanks for sharing.
wah...salute u!! I'm the laziest lot, only pack cookies and stuff. I wake up at 630 now to wake them up :(.
Juju - will email to you once I compiled them. Have been real busy with work lately.
Jazz - maybe YY will also like cookies more than these food :-) I'm sooo sleep-deprived now that kindy starts at 8am!
