Seafood and Ito Konnyaku Bento (67)


This bento took me 15 minutes to complete, as I cooked the seafood and ito konnyaku last nite and steamed those sweet potatoes earlier in the morning.  The 15 minutes were spent on skinning and cutting of the sweet potatoes, cucumber, dragon fruit, then packed everything in.

Contains of bento (from left): ito konnyaku, prawn, fish ball noodle, cucumber, purple & yellow sweet potatoes and dragon fruit.



After taking the above photo, thot it was rather plain & dull, thus dig out my food picks and added these: elephant, bear and monster picks to the box with an additional of mayo too in the yellow bear sauce container.

Little girl left the prawns, 3 pieces of cucumber and most of the sweet potatoes, she said she dislike the sweet potatoes.

My girl doesn't like sweet potatoes either. Can't understand why - isn't it sweet?

Picks are the easiest way to pep up a bento, and add colour too.
