Bentolicious #091
Yesterday afternoon, I received a package from Bento & Co. I bought 3 items from the gift certificate that I won from the Spring Bento Contest 2010. I can use these 3 items for my husband and my kids. Thanks a lot Thomas for the quick shipping. I really enjoy the gift.

I should tell the truth that I have never prepared bento for my husband. This will be my first time.
I would like to thank him for being so supportive and being the one who encouraged me to start blogging :) I used the Fukuro two-tier bento box that I think quite big for the kids but would be great for my husband. This bento ended up as his breakfast because he had a lunch meeting.

Inside the box : (bottom-tier) furikake + purple cabbages sprinkled on the top of the rice and flower shaped purple potatoes. I found other kind of purple potatoes. The center was white and purple on the outer circle ring. (upper-tier) mashed sweet potatoes, scallop & celery stir fry with garlic and lemongrass, cherry tomatoes, baby corn wrapped in black smoked ham, kamaboko, and daikon & carrot flowers.
