I was quite happy with today's bento, not too many food but full of colors. Top tier: 2 inarizushi with tomato fried rice stuffing, top with 2 quail eggs; 3 grape tomatoes, some edamame, 1 roast duck drummette, and some fish ball noodle.
Bottom tier: Flower shaped steamed sweet potatoes and heart shaped lychee flavored grass jelly.

... also, of the shaped sweet potatoes and grass jellies.
I introduced 2 new food to little girl in this bento, the sweet bean curd pouch and sweet potatoes. It was her 1st time eating this bean curd pouch, she ate 1 of the inarizushi but left the other untouched, think I may need to try again next time. As for sweet potatoe, she ate it b4, I let her ate it whole after steaming or baking it previous times, but she would only take 1 or 2 bites. However, in this bento, I was surprised to see her finishing all the 8 pieces without any fuss!
Verdict: Not bad at all, left with 1 inarizushi and the lettuce, sapu the rest :)

Great colours and flavours. The imprints on the quail eggs really turned out nicely. I usually get very faint imprints only.
I'm not sure what is fishball noodle. It looks thicker than the normal noodles? Did you flavour it first?
I have yet to buy the grass jelly, though I asked you so long ago. I've been so lazy lah *shame faced*
I remembered reading from Emily's to have those quail egg soaked in water while molding it.
Actually, I don know what to call it, they r store bought fish paste shaped as very thick noodle, u may get at wet market. Usually kids like this type of fish ball then the rounded ones.
I believe u may get those grass jelly at Cold Storage, Solaris Mont Kiara, since u r there often.
