Soulless Weekday Lunch Box

Eh, I don’t like to think that way, anyhow. It’s just that I’ve seen lotsa people/bloggers using Bentos - those sub-zerolly cute Japanese lunchboxes. I admire their creativity, the time and eneryg they’ve spend in a little lunchbox. They make it look amazing and preeeettty!! Rice with smiley face, various colourful fruit and all wrapped up in a pretty cotton wrapper! Oh! so cute!

Anyhoo, back to my lunch box.  The ones we’ve got are from Ikea. Pretty classic shape: square.
I can just whack everything I want and bring it to work.
I sometimes just pack a pack of instant noodle, and we can boil the noodle at work. Pretty easy. ;)

So, this is one of the weekday lunch at work:
chicken terriyaki, alfalfa sprouts with white rice and topped with coriander.

I’ve made the terriyaki sauce from scratch. Soya sauce and Japanese, that’s all. And I got it (quite) right, apprently.
Amazing, huh?

p/s: 

Today is the last day of Olympic game. I hope the closing ceremony is going to be awesome , too. Nice teeth and pretty smiles ;) Geee. Those communists are so strict about their teeth.

Speaking of which (the teeth), I feel sorry for both girls — especially for the little girl with croaked teeth. Eh! No everyone born with perfect teeth and perfect smile. Worst, the Government had to make it official to the World that the girl is ugly and she couldn’t make it to the national telly??? What kind of mentality is that? (Joke cited from Rove’s Live, by the way)

    Your bento looks equally good!

    And yeah I agree, they were too mean to the little girl whom I think is very cute too.

    I just take my sandwiches to work in a plastic bag! lol

    I can’t make it to national telly as I’m too fat! :-)

    Your bento box looks great, especially with the coriander leaves garnishing it. Part of the appeal of bento is the presentation and you did it well. :)

    I feel sorry for the actual girl who sang the song, she has the talent but the powers that be deemed her not aesthetically pleasing enough to appear as a performer. She was credited though, but still…

    day-dreamer: thanks! yeah, it is China, after all.

    Dab: Everyone can make it to telly. I nearly made it to Big Brother few years ago.
    Last year, the winner of ‘Britains Got Talent’ Paul Potts.. he is slight overweight (technically and politically correct term) AND he has very obvious croaked teeth.. he was sooo famous every where!

    Things get treated differently weather you are in Mainland or Britain ;)

    HB: Yeah, not a very pleasant way. The government could had paid her for the dental work just like how they paid for other athelets too. They aint THAT poor, right? ;)

    I can’t get on TV for two reasons.

    1/ No lens wide enough.

    2/ Last time I tried to get on TV the legs fell off and the TV set fell forward breaking it. :-)
