Depressing Thought
My cousin from Australia came last week, and we decided to treat her to dinner last night since it was my mom's birthday. There were a lot of drinks from the menu to choose from - Buko in Shell, Mango Shake, Iced Tea, Softdrinks, etc., etc. I got Buko in Shell. In the end, she picked Sprite (or was it 7-Up?) in can without ice. At first, we thought she had a bad throat or something so she didn't want to drink anything cold. The real reason?

She didn't want to drink ice from our country since it is/could be dirty. And she ordered softdrinks in can because she's afraid they might use tap water or something in restaurant-prepared juice or shakes.

So sad... That's how dirty our country looks like to foreigners.

Bento Lunch #5
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Top tier: Rice, roasted pork, chocolate bits in the yellow and green paper cups, and a strawberry jelly.
Bottom tier: Cheese macaroni with luncheon meat cubes

Ahhh... I'm so disappointed with this photo. It doesn't look yummy at all. Where was the sun when I shot this!! It looks so dark. Leveling it with photoshop didn't remedy it either. >< I always take my bento photos on the same spot (beside the window) everyday. Oh! Did you notice the angle usually the same?

I think the combination of colors for the top tier is also to blame. A brighter or white paper cup would look better, don't you think? XD

The cheese macaroni was a left-over from yesterday. XD

Bento Lunch #4

Top left compartment - Apple slices
Bottom left compartment - cheese macaroni with cubes of toasted luncheon meat
Right compartment - Siumai from Wai Ying, some luncheon meat slices, and rice

Lol. I just love Lock n Lock for it's air-tight feature. =3 The apple slices didn't get brown at all! I'm just a little skeptic about putting cookies in one of the compartments when there's steaming rice the compartment next. Wouldn't the moisture of the rice affect the crunchiness of the cookies? Or maybe I should get a smaller Lock n Lock for my snacks and desserts. XD

It's also the first time I had a cheese macaroni. I saw my friend having it for lunch two or three times already and I was curious as to how it tasted like. It definitely looks yummy. So at home, we had this Velveeta Cheese Sauce that we don't know what to do with. XD You guessed it next. I made it to my cheese macaroni. My sister didn't like the taste. For me, it was fine... it just tasted a lot like cheez-wiz. XD
