Morning!!! Morning!!! Doraemon snack is so cute...it makes me more wanna visit the expo in Johor coming soon!!!
ReplyDeleteYah, last time my lunch at school is bread that my mom bought from morning market then I'll put inside my bag...=.=!!! Then during lunch take out the bread, the bread must be squeeze like paper already, I still eat it, if not then how?
DeleteAnd kids nowadays really hardly will appreciate it duh...like kids in my house...serious I've lot to share as I've so many nephews and nieces...=.=!!!
Like that's one time my mom bought the wanton noodles for my second nieces for breakfast then she told my mom she don't want to eat wanton noodle then......my mom straight away take the whole pack of wanton noodles dump into dustbin...so??? My niece knows she's wrong and pick up back the pack of wanton noodle to eat!!! And ever since that she not dare to say she doesn't want to eat whatever my buy for her!!! See...kids nowadays really hardly appreciate one!!!
I think I mentioned before my nieces and nephews are very food picky, my second nieces she doesn't like to drink soup, always ask my mom not to boil soup just because she doesn't like to drink...this kid argh~~~ my friend who always want her mom to boil soup for her also like a mission impossible for her mom because her mom never cook at home lo!!! Sigh~~~
DeleteKids nowadays are picky.. Lucky G is not picky - yet.. But Kz is very picky.. Even when we eat out in restaurants, he will just sit there and drink Milo.. He doesn't touch any food like maceroni & cheese, fish & chips or fries (kid's stuffs).. Really.. Sometimes I give up..
DeleteGood Morning Xiao Ying
DeleteYou going to Johor for the doremon expo?
last few rounds you go doremon expo in KL got doremon snacks as shown in sk lunch box here ka?
Hahaha...yea....bread kiap with the meat right? soem more have tomato sauce and cucumber. By lunch time already soggy.
Meow, if my mum made tuna or sardine sandwich for me, "kiap" with cucumber and tomatoes (the night before), I don't mind also next day soggy.. Really.. Coz for all my life when I was a kid, mum only made bread with butter & jam for me to take to school.. No tuna or egg-mayo or sausage bread leh.. Really.. Considered a luxury if there's sardine or tuna sandwich, or hotdog bun, or egg tart.. Yep, my life is that "cham"!
Deletedaily butter and jam will be jelak lor even for kids that is not picky eater.
DeleteYeah Tuna and sardine very mahal leh. How to make that daily.
Now tapau lunch box to school coz it meant to be healthier. But my time was more of saves money. Old days people have 5- kids. how to give so much lunch money. so tapau lunch box cheaper la but unwittingly also give their kids a much healthier diet
Was there an expo on doraemon in jb ??
DeleteIs coming soon at Danga Bay, Johor and expo period: 24.5 - 21.9.2014!!!
DeleteAnd yes, Meow, I'm planning to go, hehe!!!=]
But Meow not every kids accept healthier diet, most of those didn't taste that nice, then they'll start to be very picky then the mom got to think of the other way to make the food look cuter and nicer to attract the kids attentions!!!
Tuna is expensive, but sardine sandwich ok lar. You all are very hou meng, got mummy to kiap roti for you all.
DeleteThanks for the info., Xiao Ying.
DeleteCHOP!
ReplyDeleteno need chop chop la.. wednesday you better type out one line say Good morning and chop....and cepat cepat copy and paste la when he publish. LOL
DeleteElse will be like the lunch box above lor...totally miss out and kempunan
That's what I did...all ready but then I went somewhere else and copied and pasted...so when I came back here, I pasted...saw it was the wrong one....and had to delete and re-type...so that was why I was late...just a bit!!! :(
DeleteChop! Oops! Missed by a mile! haha..
DeleteYeah, the grass is always greener on the other side.. but is it really?
Lunchboxes not for me, thank you. I was the lucky one among my siblings that my dad allowed to dip into his pants pocket for my daily pocket money. I never betrayed that trust by taking more than my regular amount. Memories..
Ah, your Doraemon lunchbox sure makes for great comfort food!
DeleteBtw, being such a Doraemon fan, is that wrapper in your collection too?
Chop Chop Chop, STP chopped some cucumber wanna make sandwich bento snack for Melissa...hehehe
DeleteAhahaha, STP, see, if you sincerely want to be FC then you cannot go anywhere or give excuses one lor~~ xDD
DeleteOopssssss!!!! Missed by a split second!
ReplyDeleteSnacks? When I was in school, I brought the coffee from home in a tomato sauce bottle...and no food, no lunch boxes. Had to wait till I got home...for lunch. But of course, I would have had a wholesome breakfast before leaving home for school every morning. My mum would wake up before dawn to make sure everything would be ready on the table by the time we all got up...
Mothers - our superwomen. Belated Mum's Day to all mummies...
*Belated Happy Mum's Day...*
DeleteSTP late today !!
DeleteGood morning! STP has heavy palms to click the mouse fast by few seconds! Muahahaha
DeleteLol .. TM. Morning !!
DeleteGood Morning Handsome Chris! He needs to run on treadmill everyday to be faster!
Deletecofffee? You mean when you were a kid or when you were a teacher staying home with your parents?
DeleteI know when I was in primary school they sell kopi o and milo in school canteen la. still remember it was 25 sen a glass.
But now not sure school canteen still selling kopi to kids or not coz now so many things no allowed any more.
My school days not many mom pack lunch box for their kids. Even if pack also will be mostly fried rice or noodles. No nice nice bento like nowadays punya modern mom
I have seen parents tapau nasi lemak, and put Milo in nescafe glass jars (instead of tomato jars, haha), and brought it into the class and accompany their kid eat while waiting for the class to start.. I envy too, well, as long as it's not bread for breakfast.. At least the kid still had nasi lemak!!!
Deleteyours certainly a newer generation than mine or have better living kids than my school, Mine was mostly poor and average income kids. So, not many parents will have time to bring lunchbox to school and accompany the kids to makan.
DeleteJust tapau lunch box kira as good jor lor my time.
Coffee! When I was in primary school. Every morning, my mum would brew a pot of Chinese tea for my father and a pot of coffee for everybody else...and she would fill one tomato sauce bottle of the coffee for me to take to school - maybe she thought that would help keep me awake in class. Hehehehehe!!!!!
DeleteThe thing was tomato sauce bottles are not leak proof...so if it fell onto the side in my school bag, habis...everything would smell of coffee permanently even though all dried up.
Yes, kids these days are so fortunate - have you seen all the bento lunches the mum prepared for them to take to school? Gee!!! My time, I did not even get a slice of stale bread. Eat breakfast at home...or nothing at all till I came home for lunch. :(
DeleteYes , kids are very fortunate but also pampered nowadays. The mom woke up early and painstakingly decorate the bento box , with a mixed of little food here and there.
DeleteSTP, nothing at all till go back home to eat??? No la, kids nowadays very smart...my second nieces, one day my sister forgot to give her money for lunch, then she will go see her teacher, ask teacher can borrow her Rm1 or not because she doesn't have money to eat...then of course the teacher borrow RM1 to her!!! So when she got back she ask my sister for money to return to her teacher then she just know the story...we all siblings were saying if like last time if we've no money for lunch then we just let it hungry till we get home lo!!! But now different already lo!!!
Delete小影，how old is your niece? Well, I must say kids these days are indeed smarter and 精灵！Like your niece's case, its not a bad thing at all, at least she knows how to survive! And she is such a good girl of being honest and return the money to the teacher (though just RM 1 la).
DeleteYou know some kids very 狡猾 one, they will just lie =_=
Dangerous! Daughter's student asked step-mum (abandoned by real parents) for money, RM20.00 -said teacher wanted to make curtains for classroom. No such thing,
DeleteOohh, today’s topic quite nice too.. Lunch box.. When I was a kid, I never had any money to take to school.. I only started taking money to school when I reached secondary school.. I forgot how much, but it was very little.. Even til college, dad only gave me like RM100 a month only.. The rest was topped up by my bf (now hubby)..
ReplyDeleteBut shhhh, my parents never knew we started dating when I was in college..
Anyway, back to your lunch box and packing food to school.. Eh, I’m totally opposite from you leh.. When I was a kid, I envied those who brought money to school leh.. They could buy whatever they wanted.. I remembered when I was a kid, there was NOT even one day my mum did not pack food for me to school.. And please, it was just bread and butter & jam.. Or peanut butter & jam.. Or cheese.. That’s all..
DeleteMorning school: For breakfast, ate at home.. Mum will make a cup of milo with nestum.. Or Milo with soda peang.. Then school bus came and took me to school.. The night before, mum/sis already made the bread, then put inside the fridge.. If there was tuna or egg mayo, it was considered as a luxury already.. Then will have that in school for recess.. After school, back to the house, sometimes mum fetched me home, sometimes the bus.. If mum fetched, she would tapau rice, put inside a container, and I would eat it when I go up the car.. Back home, terus mandi, and sleep..
DeleteIf afternoon school, more or less the same.. Morning wakeup, drank a cup of Milo or what.. Then around 11am+, mum would bring me down to have mixed rice (chap farn), then back to the house to shower, etc.. School bus comes to pick me to school.. Mum already bought buns or made bread (as usual) and would have that for recess.. After school, come home, dinner..
There… No money.. Huhuhu..
DeleteI remembered this for the rest of my life.. I stole money from my aunty’s house coz I was desperate to eat canteen food! Yep, I stole money! I was 9..Mum warned aunty not to give me any money, so aunty had to cook lunch for me and pack bread for my recess..
DeleteWas in afternoon school.. Mum dropped me to aunty’s house coz she needs to work, and couldn’t fetch me to school (not taking the school bus yet that time).. I stole some coins when my aunt was in the bathroom.. I don’t know how she found out, I guess the coins must be getting lesser everyday..
I was having a great time at school that week, buying food that I like, like curry puffs, ice cream, Coke, Mamee, keropok lekor…
Then the next day, when I reached aunty’s house as usual, I saw a note at the study table (the usual place I put my bags when I arrived).. It says: Here is RM1 for you, if you want money, just ask ok? Don’t steal. We won’t tell your mum, don’t worry.
Gawd.. I still took that RM1 anyway and bought my favourite food in school that day.. My cousins and aunt never told my mum, and I never steal anymore.. Scary.. If they’d told my mum, I guess I won’t be here today.. Dead from canning already..
DeleteWhen I was a kid, RM1 can be used to buy so much food.. 30 cents for a bowl of noodles (mee sup, curry or prawn mee flavor).. Then 10 cents for ice cream batang.. 20 cents for a packet of soya bean.. 20 cents for a curry puff (my favourite), then 20 cents left for Twisties or Mamee.. Gawd, heaven! Of course I don’t get RM1 everyday.. When I was older a bit, I only got 50 cents per day.. On days I needed to stay back for school activities, I think I got RM10 for a week that week.. means RM2.. I remembered I was 16.. Gawd, 16 years old and just RM10 per week? Yep, that’s correct.. Enuff for me to get a plate of nasi lemak (without chicken and other stuffs) and some keropok lekor..
Deletewah like that every morning your mom so rajin make lunch box for you to bring to school ya?
Deletewell the grass is always greener opposite field leh.
Those who brings money will wish to have lunch box and those who bring lunch box will wish for money
I wonder if there is such good friends in school that they would swap lunch box or not?
for me i dont really miss lunch box like SK la. Maybe coz not many of my schoolmates brings that. almost everyone also buy from canteen. So I dont really envy la those who brings lunch box
Meow, mum not rajin made in the morning.. Mum or sis will make it the night before, then put in fridge.. Then next morning, terus grab the bread and put in bag, and leave lor.. Always been like that.. Bread "kiap" with butter & jam, or peanut butter & jam nia.. No sausages, no cucumbers, no tomatoes, nothing.. On days I have tuna or egg-mayo, considered a luxury liao.. As far as I remembered, not even fried rice or noodles..
DeleteI wouldn't miss any lunch box, really.. I wanted so badly to bring money to school coz I was crazy over nasi lemak bungkus and curry puffs, really! When I see kids having nasi lemak, oohhh, the smell of the sambal, OMG, I can go crazy.. So gian you know? Like "mou tak sik" (tak ada makan), sigh.. Then when I see kids buying sandwiches, I go crazy again, was longing for sardine sandwiches so much lastime you know.. But kids ma, I dunno how to ask mum to make lastime, dunno why.. I only remembered telling her I gian nasi lemak.. She will say oohh spicy la, heaty la, sore throat la, cannot eat.. Banyak hal one..
DeleteBut now, when I'm working (for so many years), I only started to bring back lunch box to work about 3 years ago when I worked here.. Coz all the aunties brought their own lunch box, and I just go with the flow.. First, they are sick of canteen food.. Second, sometimes they guy don't go out for lunch, so they stay in too.. Third, even if go out, come come go go still the same food, so they get bored too.. So sometimes they prefer bringing own lunch box..
DeleteTo be honest, I'm not a fan of lunch box, coz from young already eevryday bring own food to school, but come here, no choice, I just follow what others are doing, go with the flow, then bring bring har, bring until today lor..
still even if make night time and grab and run to school also kira as rajin lo. just imagine the mom whole day working and come back have to clean the house. already tired half death liao still have to think up what lunch box to pack for the children.
DeleteNot easy to think up a variety to pack leh. daily samething kids will feel bored
funny you not fan of lunch box but now you still bring lunch box to work leh. Must have something positive rubbed off on you unwittingly leh. Mom's love?
DeleteYa lor i like this topic. Tonight must comment kau kau.. Louiz ur comments r so long.... lunch box snackbox or watever... i like today's tpoic will com bec after my training ends
DeleteLast time my mom always buy bread for me to school for lunch then my mom or my dad will gimme money as well, incase I'm not full enough...but I never spend the money wor.......I save the money to buy books!!! Hehe, if one day I forgot to bring bread from home, I also just eat a bit...70% full then can already, the rest still keep it for books!!! =]
DeleteHmm actually lunchboxes is not just applicable to schooling time la, I know many working people will also bring own lunchbox to work. Come to think of it, it's much more cheaper and healthier! Though it requires us to cook and all la, and some even must pack them ready the night before to avoid all the rushing during the morning.
DeleteBut if do some calculations, we can actually save a lot after some times, as the saying goes sikit sikit lama lama jadi bukit ma!! Also can save on petrol, no need to go out for lunch, can just stay in the office and eat, enjoy the air cond, I did that quite often when I was working last time. Also, this is a good time to chit chat and kepo kepo with other colleagues, even online!! Cause we can't do those during work hours ma! Hehehe :p
Erm, of course, if everyday also like this, then will become a bit boring la! So it's ok to go out also once a while, may be once every week? Can take the time to relax and see the outside, catch some fresh air (though mostly they are polluted air =_=), recharged then back to work station!
Hayley, you are right. I reckon that.... we adult should take bento to work. this one really save alot of money.
DeleteLast time people will tease us when we take our own food to work... at a corner everybody busy gossiping hey this Angeline never goes out for lunch... so stingy meh?"... So just don't care what people say. We do the right thing, nothing to be worry about. So I suggest we take our own lunchbox to work is fine with me lor... ok werd...Open my lunch box, sitting in front of the pc and type type and read comments...shiok also with air conditioned sum more...
Morning all ! Errr ... Lunch box ? No way for me as I find it too sissy when I was a kid. I prefer pocket money where I can buy my own food (or toys) ...hahaha. ok la, maybe during my time, lunch boxes are pretty simple. Just a slice of sunshine bread with kaya or jam or butter.
ReplyDeleteSame here, I don't find it sissy, I find it "no face" (mou min) ahh, teehee.. Ok, maybe it's just me.. Everyone in the class brought money for recess.. They buy food and sit together in a gang.. Me? Sit nearby the class area with my bread, together with those "not so cool" kids who didn't bring money to school.. Haiz...
DeletePrincess - we look like geeks and nice chaps eating our lunch boxes while the rest find it cool spending their money.
DeleteAgree, maybe it's just me (better say first, later kena bombed ahh).. Really, I really feel "mou min" when I was a kid.. No money, just bread..When recess comes, everyone know liao, oohh this fella not going to the canteen coz she doesn't have money.. I will drool when I see kids having ice cream and soya bean when they walked back to the classroom after they have their noodles at the canteen.. Damn !!
Deletewhy sissy leh? Unless your lunch box pink color with loads of love or girlie picture la LOL. Then that would be sissy la
Deletespending money is cool meh? I dont find it having money buy food in canteen is cool leh. It's just something that ones does...buy and eat...nothing to feel cool about lhe for me. Like that how about the poor kids that cannot afford to buy food but eat school provided food?
Meow, really leh.. Spending money is cool leh.. Kids who bring money to school considered very cool (well, coming from someone who never took money to school for recess before).. Every morning when I come to school, I always avoided going to the canteen.. Go canteen for what, no money to buy food also.. Somemore go there can smell the nasi lemak sambal or toast bread smell, wah, can go crazy.. And when kids walked back to the class with a piece of karipap in their hand, I so longed to have one bite leh... Kesian dou......
DeleteYou can buy what you want mah ... Instead of sitting in the class abs eating your sunshine bread slices. Then , drink plain water and before you know it, classes resume. Arhhhh!
DeleteThe teacher who came in earlier than her class was supposed to start asked "You tak keluar makan ke?".. What a stupid question.. I hated that question.. Eh, if I have money to buy canteen food, takkan I wana go into the classroom and sit earlier alone inside, kan?
Deletewell....like i've said...grass is always greener the other side. See, SK....he wish for lunch box to school also dont have leh.
DeleteBut i think a well balance will be nice lor.
Like some days pack lunch box for the kids when have time. And at other times give them some money to spend ..to buy food from canteen
now heard some school have canteen prepared meals. each month parent pay a certain sum and the kid just go canteen eat. Hmm..is it a compromised of the two worlds?
But the prepared meals always repeat one...then after the kids have it few times already, they'll feel bored and complained then don't want to eat it anymore...my second niece is like that lo, so she had it for like a month then she said don't want already!!!
DeleteAgree with Mamarazzi, the grass is always greener the other side, too much of something is also not good, 物极必反ma!
DeleteYea, kids these days are too fortunate, can complain and the parents will do the changes. If during my time, complain also no use, sure the elderly will say something like 'you want you eat, if don't want no need to eat, if you starve then it's your business', hehehe!!
During my time, I didn't have lunch boxes to take to school... my mom gave me 30cents each day and one bowl of noodles around 20 sen and 10 sen for tidbits... that saved her the trouble of preparing breakfast cos it was not easy to take care of 6 kids at one go.. :)
ReplyDeleteReana - it's cheap then. 10 cents can buy a plate of noodles , aunty Reana.
Delete30 cents can buy a bowl of noodles, 10 cents can buy ice cream.. with 50 cents, enuff to buy tid bits like Twisties or Mamee too !
DeletePrincess - I always buy mamee ( bigger pack then) or chickadees or twistees, with just 20 cents. I saved up another 20 cents for the arcade games after school. Muahahaha ....
DeleteOohh, you got arcade games too! Nice.. Mum controlled me a lot when I was a kid, not allowed to go anywhere after school.. Not even tuition.. Must only go home after that.. Mum called home to check on us after school, to make sure we are at home, and we are not using the phone, damn!
Deletemine is same like yours, Claire. Yea...mine was RM1. Buy a bowl of noodles in canteen 50 sen. one kopi o 25 sen and if still hungry buy kacang kuda snack 20 sen a packet.
Deletesometimes i tarak eat during recess then one friday can use the money to buy junk food. yeah am bad LOL
I save money during recess too, so that can buy Twisties after school while waiting for the school bus.. And that was when I was 16.. Really..
DeleteNowadays , I do admired the moms who spent time decorating the lunch boxes with beautiful and healthy food. This is especially for those moms who can cooked very well. Kudos to them. No wonder SK yearns so much for it.
ReplyDeleteI'm not into Bento.. I don't have the time to prepare Bento and to get Kz to eat his food that way.. I tried making cute faces and use shape cutters to "cut" out cute shapes from bread to make sandwiches to get him to eat, but he's still not eating..
DeleteEh, now only "hing" Bento and lunch boxes and all ma.. During our time, where got Bento? Kids who bring food to school normally just bring bread or buns only right.. Maybe fried bihun or fried rice.. But no smiley face fried rice and teddy-bear face boiled egg and Hello Kitty face sausages rite?
yea...i also admire those mommy wjho decorate the lunch box with all those nice nice bread rice and whatever. You got follow annie kiu's blog ka? She last time frequently blog and also posted up many of her bento picture. Hers is very creatively.makes me wonder what time she wakes up to makes those bento. Must be very early leh since she have to make two as she had twins
DeleteI know Annie Kiu...yeah those Bentos are very nice decorated..and creative too. But I really don't have time to do all that.
DeletePrincess Ribbon, you are a working mummy where got extra time to prepare nice bento leh, right? Unless you get them ready the night before lo!
DeleteYa, there's no Bento during our time, if got also very less ideas only. But nowadays, just go Google or Youtube, can get thousands over ideas jor~
Anyway, I prefer lunch boxes not to contain junk food like crackers , sweet and oily cakes and etc. Put in proper nutritious food like sausages, wheat bun, slices of fruits, scramble eggs, ham and etc . My wife does that for my kids too and they love it. Not forgetting a milo pack.
ReplyDeleteYesterday for dinner, Kz didn't want anything.. He only wanted cookies.. So I told him, if he eats my sandwiches, I'll give him the cookies.. I made simple bread with a slice of cheese and strawberry jam, and scrambled eggs with butter.. I didn't make into smiley face and all, and I just chuck everything onto the plate.. Thank god he walloped all (becoz of the cookies bribe)..
DeleteLOL...i think for SK is "for illustration purposes Only" leh.
DeleteDont think his lunch box will have junk food la. From all his previous posts he seems to be a healthy eater leh. seledom eat junk food leh
Yep, I think it's just illustration.. At first, I also thought his lunch box contain two packets of junk food, but when I read his post, oohhh, it's talking about taking food from home to school..
DeleteWell, I'm still taking food from home, but it's leftover dinner.. I pack dinner for lunch the next day.. I do that once or twice every week, without fail.. I'm not complaining, but I took food from home to school all my life, if given a chance, I would not wana take food to work now, but sometimes, cannot avoid la.. Due to the environment and "traditions" of the office.. Sometimes just have to follow and go with the flow with what others are doing..
Good Morning! Woiiii Thambee, I have seen this Doraemon and now again. I am speechless and will reconsider.
ReplyDeleteGood morning anay.....why speechless see the doremon leh.
DeleteWanna go japan again ka? Borong some more doremon
Good afternoon TM, Doraemon lor.. SK fav mar...
DeleteHaha yala, TM, you sure know Doraemon is SK's all time favorite ma!! :p
DeleteEh wanna go Japan again? Good good, remember to help us buy more Japanese snacks! xD
When I was in primary 1 at school, I had only 15 cents pocket money and a lunch box with bread. Yeah only 15 cents could get me syrup water for 5 cents and 10 cents for a bowl of noodles. Well, my school subsidized the cost I guess.
ReplyDeleteTM - 15 cents very big then. And the schools food are cheap.
DeleteYeah those day 15 cents was bigger than bullock cart wheels!
Deletehahahaha....like that am a lot better than you la. I had RM1 . at least can buy more leh. My time inflation liao. no more 10 sen bowl of noodles liao. it was 50 sen liao.
Deletenow i heard school selling noodles rm2 ah? duno how true is it. cham lo.....maybe should consider making lunch box for j during his primary school years lo,
now 15 sen if drop on the floor some poeple will not wanna pick up leh.
15 cents? I don't even get 10 cents! Really.. I remembered very well.. 7yrs old - 10 yrs old, not even a cent.. Food from home all the way.. 11 yrs old - 12 yrs old, I think 30 cents or 50 cents, due to school activities.. 13 years old onwards, I think RM1 per day.. 16 yrs old onwards, better, RM2 per day?
DeleteI gave my kid rm2. And he ended up belanja others. @-@
DeleteI believe 15 cents is consider very good already back in your time, TM.
DeleteNow, what can we get with 15 cents? Haih... What to do? Things changed from time to time, like it or not, we have to accept and live with it.
Once I remember one of my classmates brought nasi lemak to sell in class. I always bought from him. It was so fresh and still warm. That consider lunch box too as I ate in class. Haha
ReplyDeleteOh yes, memories are flooding back now. One Malay classmate also sold Nasi Lemak when I was in secondary school and it was so laku within 1 hour. It was cheap but almost nothing inside except sambal paste with 1 slice cucumber and 1/4 egg. We still enjoyed it.
Deleteoh ya...same here....my malay girlfriend . her mom open stall not far from school . yea me too bought nasi lemak from her before.
Deletesame here la Chris and TM. But my side is that we "pre-order" so this girl friend no need to sit there and sell. Morning she come to school we just collect from her. Forgottend how much was it lor. some times her mom make onde onde to sell. One packet only 20 sen like that only,
yea makan beramai0ramai syok leh
You all best, still got nasi lemak to eat.. And still got money to buy nasi lemak regardless from classmate or stall nearby the school.. Princess here no money ok, from 7yrs old til about 10 yrs old.. Ikutkan, 11yrs old - 12 yrs old pun tarak money one, but becoz of school activities (to prepare us for secondary school), no choice, have to stay back and all kan, then only parents gave money.. But also about 30 cents or 50 cents nia, just enuff to eat for that staying back session.. Lunch still food from home - bread.. No extra..
DeleteMasi lemak is fav food during recess time lor.
DeleteI've a very good friend during secondary school always help me to buy nasi lemak from her housing area every Wednesday, because the nasi lemak from her housing area is very tasty ya!!!
DeleteI hated to bring lunch boxes but you loved it. You are weird Thambee!!!

Deletehahah same here. Mom made lunch box a few times but tak laku. Okay la...me bad la. she susah susah make and i tarak eat. But those old days is mainly roti sapu with planta. I dont really crazy about roti punya. Then mom got creative...she put some sugar ontop of the planta. so sweet and crunchy mah. I ate lo. but if dauily also jelak la. I dont know when she stop making that la. She mainly is either sapu with planbta or with condense milk and milo.
Deleteafter that think she gave up la. give me money buy food from canteen easier than making lunch box. Jimat time.
Lol...SK and TM are slum dog Millionaires.
DeleteThe word Slumdog reminds me of the show Slumdog Millionaire.. Have you watched the show? I didn't like the part where the boy's eyes was blinded on purpose so that he could beg for money using his good voice! Darn, I couldn't sleep the whole nite after watching that show..
DeleteOoops, run out of topic ahh?
Yup, it was a nice movie and great song sang by pussycat and a r rahman.
DeleteGood morning SK and all.
ReplyDeleteLunchboxx ah. Hmm...no la last time when i was small tarak bring lunch box. Mom gotta work. no time to make lunch box leh. even make also roti sapu planta leh.
I usually buy food from canteen. more choice leh. Last time very cheap only lh the food 20 sen can get big packet of kacan kuda and 50 sen can get a bowl of noodles
Mum controlled a lot when I was a kid.. No going anywhere after school, not even tuition or sports activities (mum went to the doctor and asked the doctor to write a letter, asking to be exempted from activities after class).. Darn.. Malu wana say also.. Food also she wana conquer.. She made bread mostly.. But on the night before, not in the morning before I go to school.. I had to finish it, else, hungry lor, no food, no money..
DeleteWah, today's topic very ngam.. I can tuk-tuk very fast and talk a lot today.. Yay !

DeleteYep, no fatt hao ahh.. Everyday after school must go home.. Mum will call everyday to check on us and also to check the phone's not engaged.. Duh...
DeleteMy papa and mummy busy with work, I also don't have snack box to school too. So right now I try my very best to do some for my son. But hor, mine was not like those bento set lar... do "geng chao".... mine simple only... as long as he fills his tummy from hunger can already.
DeleteSK, you are so right! Those kids with lunch box they don't want to eat what is inside their box.They want to eat the unhealthy canteen food. When I was small my grandpa also make lunch box for me but bread only lah. Some more he toasted the bread but by recess time, the bread becomes hard and I don't like it. So curi-curi go and buy canteen food hee..hee.
ReplyDeleteEh, at least you still have money curi-curi go buy food.. I don't even have a cent.. There was one time I so gian eat karipap, I got to ask my fren to pinjam me 20 cents leh.. Just to go buy that karipap for bfast.. Then I forgot how I paid her back.. I stole money from my aunt's place to pay back I think.. Gawd, malu la now thinking about it..
DeleteBut you have to eat cold food if bring lunch box to school because i assumed school don't have microwave to reheat the food :(
ReplyDeleteI used to do it. But at that time, son was at the phase where he didn't eat much, so it was either left mostly uneaten or eaten by friends.
ReplyDeleteNowadays, we just him pocket money. Bekal if got, usually is bread saja....
The only time I'd cook will be when the class is having parrty. :P
Ya, I've heard so much from my friend. They prepared snack box their children, but their friends were eying over their lunchbox... then ended up give their friend's to eat... One day my friend told me, her daughter's classmate said my friend's porridge very nice... My friend was not angry just feel strange why their mummy never prepare anything for them to eat or give them money to buy at the canteen...
Delete*guilty* I'm those type who doesn't appreciate lunch box ! haha.... I prefer to buy from the school canteen. So , my boy is just like me now. He doesn't want to bring from home. He prefer to queue up and buy his own meal during recess time
ReplyDeleteEven the canteen food are forever the same (not much variety) but I still enjoyed buying from there. Mum was always worried I'm not eating healthily
DeleteYour schooling hours were so long ! You need to stay back at school for extra curriculum every day ? Or was it study and study from morning till evening ? Poor you...... don't you feel tired ?
DeleteI think it's normal la, some people likes lunchboxes and some don't. When we see friends bringing own lunchbox we feel envious, but when we see friends buying favorite food from the canteen, we feel envious as well! xD
DeleteIs ok lar.. whether got snackbox or not is ok... depends most of the time
Deletethe kids nowadays so lucky..
ReplyDeletethe parents prepare lunch box for them ...
last time i prefer to eat at the canteen... lol
Wah SP, finally you 'phou tao'!! ;)
DeleteYea, kids these days are very lucky and hang fook! In fact they can even request for what they wanna eat for the next day, then the mummy will prepare accordingly. Back at my time, mummy is the one who decide what to pack, and honestly, not much choices, either bread or biscuits, and occasionally, fried noodles/rice.
Now, kids even have sushi la, ham la and whatsoever!
Hi Welcome back SP. these days the kids are far more fortunate. Probably parents are too "kiasi" and "kiasu"... give them the very bext for their kids...
DeleteGood afternoon SK and everyone... Monday again, but tomorrow is a public holiday, hehe...
ReplyDeleteLast time, i was also give pocket money for recess, eat at school canteen...
DeleteHow come your school hours so long, thought last time, schools hours not so long, not like now, the students staying in school, the hours are long...
DeleteErm my school also same wo, almost the same timing, from about 8am til 6pm leh! I mean primary school. Secondary school, almost same too!
DeleteMay be that's the difference between Msia and Sg schools?
I remember my lunchbox during school days were filled with bread and bread. And yet I had no complaint..... thinking back, I was such an easy-going kid, muahahahah!
ReplyDeleteBut now my girl doesn't want to bring bread to school. She only accepts cakes or kuihs, cheh, picky little brat! And if I didn't prepare for her lunchbox, she would be the happiest girl of the day. She'll buy whatever she fancy on the canteen counter.
DeleteHaha ya, bread is something so common, spread with kaya and butter! Actually it's quite yummy la!
DeleteWell, kids these days are like that, most of them are spoil with choices. And like I said, those seductions are too much! Of course they will want to buy anything they like lo!
Hi Ah Hua...bread is the most easy form of snack box... Simple is fair enough as long as the children eats them.
DeleteYea, high in carbohydrates and protein!
DeleteMy mom gave me less than a ringgit for pocket money and I hardly use it. Usually would finish my lunchbox and "recycle" the money for the next day. I'm no Slumdog Millionaire, dei~
ReplyDelete以前讀小學，媽媽每日都會整個愛心飯盒畀我帶飯學校，依家唸起確實非常懷念。
ReplyDelete因爲媽媽年事已高，好耐都冇機會食到佢煮嘅餸，好好好好好好好好挂住囖！
Remember last time in primary school, I was in morning school and my eldest sister was a standard two teacher in my school, so she'll go to school about afternoon something, so she'll bring my mom home cook lunch box for me, and every time I opened the lunch box is like full of surprise, don't know what's inside what!!! Felt my lunch box is so special like different from others...but then after primary school no more already lo!!! So I must go home to have dinner with my mom every night and sometimes go home early help her prepared for dinner a bit...guess only people who knows cooking only understand how much works it takes!!! =]
DeleteI never pack lunch box to school when I was in primary school, just eat at canteen, last time the curry noodles at canteen cost only S$0.20, so cheap! Now the inflation is scary...
ReplyDeleteThat was cheap!
DeleteA bowl of laksa at my time also just cost about 50 cent! Now, where can I find such cheap laksa??
Ya I like to eat my canteen laksa too.
DeleteI miss my primary school days, I was a prefect when I was in primary 4. So shiok, can command my fellow classmates to listen to me, haha, of course, I was not a bully lah
ReplyDeleteHaha, seeing your face, also can tell you were not a bully la! You look kinda 斯文 to me~ ;)
DeleteI was also a prefect when I was in primary 6, just for a year but already had so much fun! Not that I really enjoy commanding people but I enjoy being in that post, looking after queues and classes, haha!
I like posts like these, which bring back fond memories of the past, I love my past as a kid, though not as much freedom as adult, but I was happy because don't have to worry about money
ReplyDeleteHaha true.. Childhood time is the best time! So worry-freed and so much fun!
DeleteAs we grown up, we got more things to worry and handle.. That's why we miss being kids! But what to do? That's cycle of life ma! Life goes on~
But being a kid these days is not as much fun as we used to... They are so stressful! Have to be good in both curriculum and co curriculum! Their school bag can be heavier than themselves too! And I can lots of kids already wear glasses even though just 5-6 years old! Sigh~
Hm,, agreed with that. SK you brought us back to our memory land...
DeleteTerbalik lah you and me. I always had to bring lunch box and always envy my friends with money coz I want to buy my own lunch! I dont usually see boys bringing lunch boxes but girls yes. Now my anak oso no lunch box. We pay the canteen and he'll get a designated seat and food prepared for him. He says he prefers it that way so ok lor. Ikut suka hati dia...
ReplyDeleteHaha, that's normal la, we always get envious at things we don't have...
DeleteYep, true, boys seldom bring lunchboxes but girls yes...
Wah, I never know school these days got such arrangement! Got designated seat!! Not bad ma!!
Ello ello SK! I am this late again!! @_@
ReplyDeleteLet me straight to the point this time ;)
I agree with you, a container containing food is consider a lunchbox, haha! But eh come to think of it, why is it called lunchbox? Cannot call dinnerbox? Or breakfastbox? Haha xD
But I think lunchbox sounds better la! :p
As far as I can remember, I hardly bring lunchbox to school when I was young... Like you, I settled meal at school canteen. Speaking about school canteen, I suddenly miss my primary school canteen very much, haha! Food was so much cheaper that time, a bowl of laksa cost only about 50 cent! And got lots of snacks!
You remember how much was your pocket money? Hmm, mine, if not mistaken, is about RM 1... Of course sometimes I brought some snacks to school so from here can save a bit already. RM 1 for a pupil that time is consider quite a lot already!
Now, if you give a pupil RM 1, he will probably give it back to you, LOL!
Actually I think lunchbox is not so popular back then, I mean not many parents prepare lunchbox for their kids...
ReplyDeleteBut now, it's quite opposite... Cause nowadays it's all about health and also on savings (as things are getting expensive). Parents now become more health conscious and will prepare lunchbox for their kids, actually it's kinda good also la, can save a bit and also can prevent their children from being over spend. You know la there're just so many seduction out there (snacks, soft drinks) and not cheap some more...
Plus, there're just so many lunchbox ideas these days!! Some are really so cute and pretty, seriously really not willing to eat them lo! You know there's a talented mummy out there called lee samantha, her lunchboxes idea are so great!! She even have 260k+ followers on Instagram! (I am one of them :p)
And with Google, Youtube and etc out there, I guess mummies naturally have the ideas to prepare lunchboxes for their kids! Plus they can share the ideas on media social sites!
I always have this mind set when preparing lunchbox for my son. Simple, hassle free and of course must be attractive or else the kids won't be asking and pestering us to prepare it again.
DeleteSome bento are too cute to be eaten leh... right? Mmm seh tak sek lor...
DeleteYea, not easy preparing lunchbox, especially if you have picky eaters at home! This don't want that don't want, hehe~
DeleteBut color does play an important role, kids always love colorful thing.
Haha yea, some are really cute, how to eat?? :p
Good Afternoon SK! Looks like everybody is holidaying at home but for me I have to work today. hehehe...nvm at least I have some time for me to catch with you guys with the topic of Lunchbox...
ReplyDeleteLunchbox or say the other way of making bento set for kids definitely is an awesome idea of giving the kids the encouragement to love their food more. No matter is biscuit, cakes, buns, if only plain bread also is very good enough.
DeleteMy perception is very simple. Kids are going to school to learn and train to be independent on themselves. Lunchbox is the happiness for them to fill their hungry tummy.Why? Kids are easily attracted to those nicely done lunchbox...Every mummy will try to make nice and creative one for the kids. I'm sure the kids love to go school and always remind their mummy to make them lunchbox everyday. Indirectly, kids love to eat more greens and fruits rather than always eating those unhealthy snacks...
DeleteWin Win situation also applies here, where both mummy and the kids are happy with the lunchbox. When there's a demand definitely there will a request....
DeleteAiks...i got meeting ady... talk later
DeleteSee type wrongly, when there's a demand definitely they will be a supply...
DeleteMy son's recess time is only 20min. Even I prepared the nicely lunchbox for him, I can say that he totally cannot finish. Morning, he definitely will have a cup of milk. Then when he comes back from school, my mummy already prepare lunch for him. So for my situation, I don't really prepare a lunchbox with too many ingredients.
DeleteIf my son can finish the whole lunchbox also, another couple of hours he will come over my mum place..I don't think he will get hungry that fast lor. In order not to waste, I try to prepare simple and smaller portion just for him to fill his hunger at school. At the end of the day, my mummy side pula will complain to me "your son doesn't want to east lunch"....@_@ Kekeke....
Delete愛心便當 really got 愛心 one...doing it with many loves. How can us not appreciate it right? Mummy spends so much time, making the shapes, cutting and preparing the ingredients at night. Then wake up early to assemble the things in the morning. It's really time consuming one. I will feel sad lor, if my son didn't appreciate our lunchbox we've prepared for them. huhuhu.....
DeleteAt least we have some snack to munch, for me is alright.. Even if is just biscuits or junk food as you mentioned. Haiya once a while spoil our kids with thsoe items really make them feel more happier don't you think?
Actually my concerns are so many things need to prepare for just one lunchbox. I would prefer to do or prepare more than one and probably four is the best. Let me elaborate more here, well it is a logic thinking lar…
DeleteLet say we kiap 2 slices of bread with jam or peanut butter. Then we must cut out a heart shape or bear shape…Then the excess pieces what will you do with it? Unless I can cut before I spread the jams, the balance I still can use for making bread pudding… Tak kan so few pieces I will make bread pudding with it. That is why if is to make lunchbox I would prepare 愛心便當 for 4 personS. At least the excess is a lil bit more to prepare for other stuffs. It is a waste if just throw it away. As such, mummy will be always chuck the pieces into her mouth as her early breakfast. But hor how many times, mummy will have to eat the excess stuffs???
Like the seaweed, we can punch all types of shapes – starts, small round shape becomes the Panda’s eye and so on… So the rest leh… what you should do with it? Browsing and searching for lunchbox ideas already took half day, then if to think about the excess thingy…lagi worst lor… Some I’m sure will just throw it away or and again mummy here pula chuck all inside her mouth. Nom nom nom.
We’re not like Japanese, they have so many ingredients to prepare which I personally thought that those items are their daily use stuffs. Their culture is liddat. Even if just a bento, those are their daily consuming food… their normal comfort food. But for us we have to take our time to explore the hypermarket to get the ingredients (if we are seldom cook type mummy).. Then we can’t buy just one item, but need to buy the whole packet… So think again how long you wanna keep the things? Furthermore, rushing to Daiso to get the rice moulds and etc….cost money some more… if you’re planning to do more than one time ok lar…
Very simple only, even you give the kid to have one whole egg..actually he is already half full..
DeleteThose mummies who always make the very best bento set for their kids, I really salute them... They are the best!
DeleteTrue also, a colorful and hearty lunchbox is something our kids can look forward to during school time! And can at the same time 'show off' to others, LOL!!
DeleteBut then, sometimes not good also, if our kids 'show off' the lunchbox to his friends, then his friend will tell his mum he wants the same thing, then that mummy headache already, stressful also ho!! :p
That's why I told my son, just mind his own business...just eat.hahaha...
DeleteTalk about my time, my dad resigned from his previous job and runs his own business – sundry shop in an estate area after that. So mummy and daddy always not around when I was schooling that time – busy taking care the shop which is situated far away and always come back in the evening around 6-7pm. Furthermore, they often travel about 50mins to reach the place – far from the town. So my brother and I are very independent to settle our own things then. My mom didn’t prepare lunchbox for us… but every morning definitely she will made us milk before we go to school. If possible my mom will cook early in the morning, so we can have our lunch when we get back from school. Other than that, we settle our own things after that. So most often I prepare my own lunchbox, my brother will just had his food during recess time. My pocket money that papa gave to me everyday… because I made my own lunchbox, so I kept RM2 everyday…. Once a while when I my piggy bank reach RM80-RM100, you know what I did? I didn’t save it into the bank but I pass the money for my parents again because they runs the sundry shop needs a lot of small changes…So I give them back lor… and start saving another round again lor…
ReplyDeleteWhen years gone by, in Secondary time pula I very clever one… made sandwiches from my classmates too. Muahaha…. Gardenia bread kiap with eggs, tomatoes, ham, cucumber and sauces. I usually will prepare my classmate sits next to me. Sometimes I made 2 layers sandwich… very filling and taste yummy too. Think back just like what I did right now… never change one me…hehehe
DeleteIf sometimes I malas to make sandwiches, I will just eat from the canteen. 30cents- small plate of nasi lemak... I add on 20cents to get laksa soup. Eat together with it sedap lor... If not, I'll just eat laksa soup with fishballs - 50cents.
DeleteSo far I haven't prepare any Bento set for my son yet. Probably when he grows bigger - tummy bigger that time then I'll make him one. But hor, when he grows bigger, I don;t think he want to eat my Bento anymore - where he got friends and follow his friends eating at the canteen ady lor... Not like now, Calvin will come and hug me and said "mummy you prepare snack box for me lar... I want to eat"... aww.... you heard of it also you feel like melting.
DeleteEveryday he brings his own food to school and I still give him pocket money. Just in case, he needed for emergency use - buy rubber or blank exercise books if teacher needs it and etc. But I always remind him to finish his food first before playing with his freinds during recess time. Even so, I told him not to waste it.
DeleteFrom the 愛心便當 of yours, Tam Tam seating behind the Doaremon tit bits I like it too. We call it the "zham tao" - pillow biscuits here... and the container you have it one is the Ladies Choice Mayo free gift right? Got red color for gals too.
ReplyDeleteTalking about lunchbox or bento, I don't remember I had that from my mom. May be because I was a picky eater when I was young. My brother does remember this well. He was a chubby baby and now a fat man. My mom prepared hell lots of snacks to bring to school. He was also jealous by his friends at school. He wrote that in his FB post on the past two days Mother's day. He misses my mom a lot.
ReplyDeleteNow, I don't really prepare any bento for my girls. When I bake cakes, I give them cakes. When I make sandwich, I give them sandwich. Most of the time, i just "sapu"jam and butter in between two breads and put inside their lunchboxes. Hehehe!
DeleteNowadays, very convenient already, I just buy their favourite buns and put inside their lunchboxes too. I seldom make nice bento. Occasionally, I would prepare them "not very nice" sushi to school too.
DeleteI let my children buy canteen food on Friday. Only once in a week. The rest of the day, they have to eat whatever I put inside their lunch box.
If I am not working, I think I can do more bento. I salute those parents, who can nice lunch box for their children, such as Angeline. She is really great in this. I reckon.
DeleteSometimes, my girls would request me to prepare them instant noodles to bring to school. So, I just make instant dry noodles for them. I know this is not healthy, If i have time, I should fry noodles for them instead.
DeleteI love making them egg mayo sandwich to school.
Yannie, thanks for your compliments. I also told the same thing to my son. He has to eat whatever I put inside his lunch box too..
DeleteIf to compare me and the rest, I'm sure there are more mummies are great in doing all kinds of bento for their kids...
Same same, Calvin will asked me to prepare the noodles for him to school too. So far twice only...is not healthy I also knew that...once a while should be fine...
Yannie, you're good too. Every mummy deserve to be praised - They have their own cretivi
Delete...own creativity of skills to prepare lunchbox for their kids. April and May will love whatever lunch box you've prepared for them because they love you.
Deleteoh, I usually prepared bread for my kids when they were young. Otherwise, I gave them some money to buy at the canteen. I didn't prepare any special bento for them.
