As a absolute lover of food, I believe that food has to be as good to look at as it is to eat. Although I'm supposed to be hitting the books during the hols, I have been in front of the screen more and more because of the suprise I'm planning for mommy on her birthday this Sunday! (; For being the BEST and the ONLY mommy, I'm more than happy to sacrifice my study time(like DUH)! As much as I prefer to take on the role of a taster and a critic, I think it's time to throw on a chef's hat and whip up something creative for mommy on her special day. (:
Hence, I've decided to do a kyaraben breakfast for her. NOTE: Kyaraben or charaben (キャラ弁), a shortened form of character bento (キャラクター弁当, kyarakutā bentō), is a style of elaborately arranged bento which features food decorated to look like people, characters from popular media, animals, and plants. Japanese homemakers often spend considerable time devising their children's meals including their boxed lunches, intended to arouse interest from children in their food and to encourage a wider range of eating habits. Now, I've taken up this challenge and I think I may be getting a wee bit of cold feet. Like I said, it's breakfast but authentic kyaraben has rice in it. Do I do it the authentic way or substitute it for bread? What if the bread gets soggy (because I'm planning to put in steamed broccoli and other veg to perk it up)? And would mommy want rice bright and early in the morning? It won't cause indigestion or anything right???? RAHHHHH! I knew bentos were hard to do, but I never knew it was this hard ): And I haven't even got down to make it yet, it's just the planning part! HOWWWW???? Oh well. I better start cracking my brains and make a decision FAST. I need to get the ingredients too. :/ |
