I was in the mood for preparing something kawaii for the kid's bento lunch instead of the normal bread sandwich. It took me 40 minutes to prepare the two lunch boxes. Definitely requires more time and effort instead of putting 2 slices of bread with ham, cheese, egg and lettuce.
It's quite easy to prepare though. Lay a sheet of plastic wrap over the bread. Flatten a little using a rolling pin, depending on the thickness of the bread. Add butter, place a slice of ham over it and roll it up. Close the sides of the plastic wrap and cut into smaller pieces. The plastic wrap keeps the filling in place and the bread moist.
Today's filling included ham, nori (seaweed), cheese, strawberry jam and Bee Cheng Hiang's fish floss. Sides consisted of skewered quail eggs, cucumber with cherry tomatoes, and juicy sweet honeydew. I absolutely love the the honeydew and rockmelons in Japan. They are far sweeter and juicier than those back home. I think I can possibly finish half the melon at one go.
