Bentolicious #234
Love in the Air
Yesterday was great! Me and Mr. Bentolicious had a great time together. We had a romantic lunch date at one of the Chinese restaurants. I arrived first and few minutes later hubby showed up with a sweet bouquet on his hands. We gave each others gift & card at the restaurant and really enjoyed our lunch for two. My card was bought at the last minutes because I couldn't find an anniversary card at the mall near our house. After lunch, we headed to a cafe and had a chat there for about 2 hours before we went home. Usually we had a celebration at night. But this time we would like to avoid bad traffic jam after office hours, so we decided to celebrate over lunch time.
Love is still in the air, so for today's bento, I made brown doggie with heart-shaped balloon. After saw the picture, I realized that I should have put more details on the eyes. I'm sure my kids wouldn't mind though. Little A asked me whether I could put a 'love letter' inside his bento bag. What??? I put a small note inside his bento bag long long time ago. And he wanted me to do that again. Oh boy!
Inside the box : rice, braised soy sauce middle wings, carrots, fried quail eggs, and veggies stir fry (Chinese cabbage, carrot, big red chili, ear wood mushroom).
