Bentolicious #045
As usual for Monday's bento, you will find I just created a quick and simple bento. This morning I had been very busy driving here and there with a bad traffic jam, typical for Monday morning. It is not getting better but it gets worse every year. Anyway, today's bento just contained 2 molded rice wrapped in cucumber layer with nori decoration, flower shaped carrots, 2 tamago, half of cherry tomato, mushroom with teriyaki sauce, and roasted duck. The cucumber layer was soaked in vinegar and sugar water for few minutes so it got sour sweet taste. I really want to join Debra's B.O.M.B with this month theme is 'roasting'. But since I didn't roast the duck myself but was take-out from a restaurant then I changed my mind to participate. I didn't do roasting a lot for our home meal, anything roasted will be from a restaurant hehehe ... (I was ashamed to admit this). Nothing really special for this bento, let's see what will I come up for tomorrow's bento.
