Bentolicious #164
Happy Monday! I'm still making a Chinese New Year theme for bento. I chose to make a girl with lantern. Lantern is one of the decorations that we often see in houses and shopping centers during the Chinese New Year. So I think this bento is appropriate for welcoming Chinese New Year. Today's bento was pretty simple. I only put sauteed minced pork with potato and scrambled egg on the top of the rice. Added some steamed kabocha slices at the top.
My sister and her family will arrive in Jakarta this afternoon. We are excited to meet them all. Kids have been excited to meet their first cousins. And I can imagine the whole house will be so noisy later.

Wow this is really cute!

lucu bangeuttttt.... amazing bento as always..

Lia, ada yg mau ditanyain nih: eggsheet bisa brp lama tahan di lemari es ya? cara penyimpanan yg baik gmn? thanks ya..

Lia!!! It's just tooooo cute! You're super creative!

@ChantaleP : Thanks a lot Chantale!

@Uniflame : Thanks a lot Cynni!

@mama elaine : Thanks a lot! Aku nggak pernah simpan egg sheet di kulkas jadi selalu bikin fresh. Aku lebih suka bikin fresh karena kan bahannya telur. Pas bikin seperlunya aja dari 1-2 telur dibagi-bagi utk warna yg kita butuhkan, tidak perlu sampai satu sheet besar utk satu warna. Pernah baca katanya ada yg pernah nyimpen bisa tahan ampe 2 hari :)

@Ju : Thanks a lot Ju!

You know, I really wanted to have a cheong sam when I was a little girl since I liked to watch Chinese movies, but never have one 'til now LOL. Waaaa si krucils ke Jakarta yah? Jadi pengen nginep di rumahnya Mbak Lia juga, pasti rameee dan seru banget hueheheheehee ^^v
