(O)Bento Baon

Honestly, I'm not even sure if you can call these as (o)bento. I'm still in the process of learning but so far, I am enjoying every bit of it.

Preparing for Allan's baon has somehow become one of my stress relievers. Thinking about what to prepare for him for his daily baon is exciting, me thinks. And even if it means that I would have to wake up earlier than usual and move like a thief in the night at the kitchen so Trev's sleep won't be disturbed and I could finish Allan's baon agad, it really is a stress reliever for me. Of course, making it a little like (o)bento takes a little bit of work pero sabi nga nila, labor of love. :-)

Anyway, enough of my drama, teehee! Here's what I prepared for his baon (breakfast and lunch) for the past two weeks. There were two holidays the past weeks so 8 lang yan. :-)

There you go! I'm still in the process of searching what other baons I could prepare that I could also turn into an (o)bento. Also, I actually do not have any (o)bento accessories like food picks and baran, so I'm improvising with tooth picks and cheese sticks. Hihi! Currently, I only have the pastry puff maker (Which was actually in our kitchen for quite a while now. I only found good use of it now that I'm starting to like (o)bento) and  some small veggie cutters. I have yet to learn so much. But, truly, making (o)bento is a lot of fun! 

And oh! I can't wait til the time comes when I'll also be preparing (o)bento baon for my son Trev. That would be more excting as I'll try my very best to make cute and fun characters and faces out of his baon. I hope he will like it, too! :-)
