Row, Row, Row Your Boat Bento

Lol, I do not know what to call the bento today, it's a bento inspired by the Children's song "Row, Row, Row Your Boat". I am sure most people must have sang this song before. However, the inspiration for the bento was not from the version of this song that I grow up with. :P It comes from an alternate verse, that I learnt with IT, when he was a toddler, in his playgroup class. The alternate verse goes like this:

Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream,
If you see a  crocodile,
Don't forget to scream.

Hubby's friend who goes regularly for off shore fishing gave us a few big fish he caught. Hubby told me to cook fish head curry with the fish head last night. I don't like fish, but I love the gravy. So, I kept some to go with my prata today. :P

    1. Yes, they do eat thin ones but they dun like the thick ones. But for Lucas, need to cut into small pieces n mix with other fd, then he'll eat.

    1. Lol, yah, no idea where the version comes fr, n then the tr will scream with them at the end of the song. Do u hv frozen roti canai n premix for satay over at the Asian stores there? I can't mail over the frozen roti canai, but I would love to mail over the satay premix if u can't find over there. There's a pretty gd brand over here, tt comes with the peanut dip as well.

    2. You are so kind Ming! I can find frozen roti canai here at the Indian grocer and peanut sauce at Asian grocer. Limited brands but better than none. Have to learn to make own roti canai soon, I tried making 'chapati' and turned out good:)
