BENTO-ED !!!

Well, I have recently been bitten by the Bento bug. I read that Bento-mania has been around since the 80s (Ermm ... still in school then!) but since I started blogging last year, I have come across fantastic blogs (solely) dedicated to Bento-ing. I am absolutely sure that I will NOT be able to replicate 99.99% of the awesome Bentos created, for I am just a humble beginner. I am eager to try but I'm not sure if disasters will follow me, closely behind.

As my 2 year old son, ... the said "Munchkin" of the named blog, will be attending playgroup/nursery next year, I am all geared up for it. Though his school will provide him with snacks (I think?), I am eager to try and pack lunch/snacks for him. My baby is an extremely fussy eater ... though he does eat the usual chicken rice/rice (with chicken or fish), egg prata (don't all Singaporean kids love pratas ... haha) & toasted buttered bread & such (oh chocolates too ... but of course!), there are times that he refuses, even his favourite foods. All that I'm stuck with, to feed him with, is his trusty Pediasure (one of the most expensive milk formulas in Singapore!?) - not that I have a choice! Munchkin is rather lactose intolerant!



So on a quest to provide more variety & hopefully, healthier & delicious food for my baby, I have decided to venture, for the time being ... into Bento-ing. I might fail & falter but I will give it a shot. I hope my baby will love his Mama's cooking & Bento-ism.

Here's to Bentos, for my lil' munchkin. Wish me luck, ya!
