Cute Animal Sandwiches Vs Black Black Noodles
Bento, Food July 15th, 2008One of the reasons I was tempted to jump into the boat and started Bento-ing is because of those testimonials from Bento-Mommies that their kids wipe out their Bento lunch box.
Unfortunately, my kids are different. They go for taste not appearance. But I still wanna try it; kids sure love cute stuff right?

So I made the above cute lil’ animal sandwiches, some trees and stars cheese and pear (i put the pear in another container); I don’t think the above can be called Bento; doesn’t look like one…they are only sandwiches in a container.
They were fighting for the sandwiches in the car on the way to school but the moment they stepped in the car after school they told me that they did not eat their sandwiches because they wanted to eat the Black Black Noodles (Fried Noodles) served by the school.
Anyway, Belle finishes the sandwiches before we reached my mom’s for lunch. Clarissa took the fruit container and kept a piece of the teddy bear sandwich together with it are left untouched; even till now!

So, Cute Animal Sandwiches Vs Black Black Noodles; Black Black Noodles won.
I am waiting for the Bento lunch box to arrive. I hope with nicer presentation they would be tempted to wallop all the food prepared for them. ![]()

My gals are drawn to appearance. They will surely sapu all your sandwiches if they saw them! Eh, my kids also love brown brown noodles (fried economy noodles)!

Hope soon your kids will begin to like bento. How about preparing rice or noodle with cute cut-out veggie?
