Da De Da and Curry Puff....!

Got a call from Bento Pet at 1.00pm sharp asking why no update from me, how's my new job etc and we also spoke about a certain contest thats ending soon!

I pointed that the rules are 'bentos made/prepared by self' and by that I dont qualify as most of my packed bentos are outsourced! hahahaha! but nevertheless I will try and prepare a 100% homemade bento for the contest if she participates too.

Then Pat said that she is too buzy for a karipap (sounds like!) style bento and I said 'karipap?' - oh I surely can eat one! hahahaha again ! Anyway we talked each other into submitting an entry for JAVAPOT'S CONTEST WITH FABULOUS PRIZE AND TWO PRIZES AT THAT!

Pat said that she had been abandoned by her three gurls and thus this will give her three hours this afternoon to go through her inventory for tools to make a kawaii bento to send in! And she did remind me that I have loads of cutters and moulds from my numerous visits to 100Yen and Daiso and why dont I use those? Wot? Open and use my stash? all pretty and nice still in their original packing? no lah - those are part of my growing catalogue samples wor!! hahahaha again some more! Gonna crack my head on what to make for the contest... stay tune...!

And I leave you with more pictures from our Penang trip earlier this year! Enjoy!

i oso wondering why so quiet :)

as long as you 'boxed = prepared' the bento, i don't see any problem using some 'outsourced' food leh. *am i reading the rules wrongly ah???* Anyway, if feel bad can explain lor.

100% pure homemade/grown food in difficult leh - never expected people to grow own veg and meat.

anyway, suppose to be FUN activity, don't want people to labour in kitchen unnecessary unless they don't mind or can't help it. I know everyone is busy.

btw, be quick ah...i closing contest a little earlier tmrw unless got valid protest.

ha ha ha....were u one of those last minute students ah? actually i'm one of those that cramp last minute right up to the exam hall.

can lah right....after all if you've been thinking about it subconsciously....its all a matter then of putting it together. email pix and info 1st then post in your blog later.

just figured its unlikely people would be bento-ing to wee hours of midnight and even much less on a Friday night.

Haven't even begun anything yet, have you?
