LT's bento, in the box are cold soba, sausage, salmon, beancurd chicken and golden kiwis. As they have their lunch at home, I kept the dipping sauce in the fridge.

I saw IT taking out his monkey and put it on his palm before he ate his food, so I took a shot of it. :)

Lunch for Mummy, rice with miso pork/cabbage and beancurd chicken.
Those monkeys really have personality!
ReplyDeleteAwwww,love those monkeys!! No way I can make them as cute as you do. I have a hamburger monkey cutter that I received from Japan and panning to use it tomorrow. Soba noodles looks delicious as well as your lunch :-)
ReplyDelete@Diana, haha, tks. :)
ReplyDelete@Rina, tks. :) I've nvr seen hamburger monkey cutter before. Looking forward to see your lovely bento. :)
The monkey is really adorable. I love all your bentos. I am just a beginner to make bento. How do you keep your soba cold in the lunch box?
ReplyDeleteHi Yenn, I saw your bentos, they are lovely, not like a beginner's wk. :) The soba box was kept at room temperature, I only put the slightly frozen soba sauce in a thermal container. :)
DeleteMay I know how you made the sauce for the soba?
ReplyDeleteI usually use these two recipes if I'm making my own. http ://justonecookbook.com/blog/how-to/mentsuyu-noodle-soup-base/ http://www.noobcook.com/zaru-soba/ I do sometimes just buy the sauce direct from the supermarket too. :)
DeleteThank you so much! I bought the Kikkoman sauce but my daughter didn't really like it. Or maybe it was the Ume soba instead of Cha Soba.
ReplyDeleteYes, ume soba hv a unique taste, my boys don't really like too.
