One day, lunch hour came. Hungry. Guess what… food!

Gee, when one’s hungry, cost is almost not an issue. Why not spend some on oneself after the day’s hard work?

Midori, a japanese food F&B in Cineleisure where I worked, has a wifi that’s secured but the password is… I forgot, some japanese food. bento? oh well…

Anyways, Bento is the Japanese artform of creating lunchboxes. These lunch boxes, Bento, is still used by workers as a packed lunch, by families on day trips, for school picnics and sports days etc. Often eaten at a gathering like a funeral or a party. However this time, I’m alone.

Though I can’t carry this wonderful tray with me back to the office, this bento is packed in a lacquer box and contains a lot of food. The only thing an original bento lacks is vegetables. The meaning of Bento is not a traditional Japanese dish. In this case, I have to say mine is almost civilized. No raw meat, no blood nor pretty girls that comes together like depicted in the menu.

Original Bento is made into the shape of a curved box by carving cedar or cypress, bending it into this shape, and then attaching a separate piece of wood for the bottom. In the picture is a curved bento box (made of plastic actually) used nowadays.

In the end, I suffered from dehydration from finishing everything single edible thing on the plate due to the sodium contained in the soup, sauce and soya sauce.

What can I complain? They gimme 10% off since I work there. Just flash my larnyard and I get my measely $1.65 discount.
