Shrimp and snow peas, a new way
A new way to pack lunch. Rice packed separately in a 300ml thermal food jar by Thermos Nissan — kept the rice soft and warm for five hours. Shrimp and peas in a 350ml Asvel bento box (with clear lid).
* shrimp in chili sauce with onions (recipe from berry_mix’s mom)
* Chinese quick-fried snow peas
* rice
From Thermos Nissan: a 300ml small thermal food jar for hot soups, stews, curries, rice, etc. (or cold items like yogurt, cold soup, salads, etc.). Dishwasher-safe. This has excellent heat retention: better than all thermal lunch jars I’ve tested, and better than all-plastic thermal food jars because it’s metal. They make a larger version as well for bigger appetites, and I’ve seen this sold at big stores like Target.
The lunch with both lids on.

Child’s pink & green bento
For my son to go to the zoo tomorrow, in my small 430ml Asvel box. Think I’ll have to stop using this pink bento box for him when he starts going to school — kinda girly!

- Annie’s shells & cheese pasta, with tuna fish, kamaboko and green onions
- grapes
- dashimaki tamago with nori rolled into it, topped with sakura denbu, shaped like a heart (uh, or a triangle? I need to practice rounding the edges instead of squaring them) (step-by-step tutorial here)
- cherry tomatoes
