Bought bento and senbei

Mikasa is a place I like to visit a lot, not only for it's food but also when I'm low on ingredients it's the best place to go and stock. It's basically a japanese mart so I can find anything I need for my meals.
Also there is the fast food zone where I can buy almost anything, from sushi to daifukus. My boyfriend and I went for dinner and here's what we bought.


This is my boyfriend's california roll, he always picks it up so I'm no longer amazed he chooses it, the good thing is that they put some tampico sauce on top of each piece so it's a nice flavor.


This is mine, I've been wanting to get one of these for some time now, hence I got it. It's a bento and it has small portions of different foods to taste. There was a cucumber salad, fried pork, shrimp, salmon and some other things I don't know the name of but tasted really nice. And the best thing of this bento is that it had a small pot of camelia, a dessert I really adore consisting in coffee gelatin mixed with a sweet coffee liqueur sauce. d(>///<)b


Finally, I got myself a pack of snacks called senbei, these are rice crackers that are eaten just like chips are for us, they taste really great since they taste of soy sauce and the green dots over there are peas, toasted and with a twist of wasabi.

My first bento!

My daughter is always picky when it comes about food. I try my best to give her nice looking food but one way or another she always ends up not eating the whole thing. Mainly because she plays so much she forgets to eat (or so she says).
Last wednesday I did a small bento for her and weirdly enough I had the feeling inside telling me 'Today is the day!' and so I took a pic of the succesful winner on beating Mariana's uneven feeding.
It's nothing elaborate, but she ate the whole thing so right now I feel quite glad and self-satisfied.
The bento consisted in a sadwich roll, made with a flattened slice of integral bread, cream cheese and ham; garnished with a couple of baby spinach leaves. On the second tier I placed some aliced apricot for her.

As you can see, it' not as big as it seems.

All about stickers.

I don't know why but I really love food related stuff, and when you add the 'kawaii' adjective before it it becomes even more desirable. So I bought some really cute stickers the other day that came all the way directly from Japan and currently am feeling so spaced out for them. Can't stop looking at them. XD
I also bought a small memo pad and a mini note. But right now I fell like just sharing one part with you all.



I don't know what to do with them though... XP
