Okay, so this is what I consider my first “OK” bento. After my pudding mishap, I searched for a bento box that would separate my food with inner containers. I found this box online at Marukai and love, love, love it! I was so paranoid at the time that I would never find another bento box like this, that I ordered two! I still have a spare in my pantry.
When I got this bento box, I remember studying (call me crazy) other bloggers and bento books trying to see and understand the style that I like and how I would like to present my food. One thing I really liked about this bento was the color. For the longest time, I insisted on putting blueberries in Ms. Little Bubbles bentos because it made for a much more beautiful bento. But she hates blueberries! And given the cost of a small box, I had to give up my blue. 😦 This particular bento had too much food for my Little Bubbles, but she did like it. 🙂
Contents: Onigiri, teriyaki chicken, strawberries, blueberries, oranges, carrots and edamame
It’s a very well done bento and the flower onigiri is so pretty! I love putting blueberries in as well, for color and for filling up the tiny spaces that need something. A-chan is a blueberry monster though – she will eat through an entire container of them in one day so I can rarely keep them on hand for bentos!
