Oh Mighty Teriyaki Chicken!

You have my whole family under your control... we always lurrrrve to devour you... okay this is getting a little weird. But we do enjoy our teriyaki chicken.

Did you know that there are more than a MILLION Teriyaki Chicken recipes out there? Amazing how something so basic (in Japanese culture) can have so many variations. Jamie Oliver has his own version and so does Nigella Lawson, to name two of the most famous celebrity chefs. 

I guess this is one Japanese product that has really found a home in the hearts of many people all over the world with its sweet-savoury umami-ness that so hits the spot, especially when you don't know what else to cook.

Last Burst of Energy

Something came over me last night (maybe it's the presence of ham in my fridge) which spurred me up to put a little more effort into this last couple of bentos for this term.

Takoyaki's

RM's

Bento Mojo dropping

Which is why it's just something simple for Takoyaki who has CCA today and she really does not want to eat the same food from the school canteen twice.

Yawn... Stretch... Almost wind-down time

I feel a little rusty after a week of non-bento. Especially since this is the second week of exams and in between tutoring RM and schooling my Mouse, my battery is getting rather flat. However, I managed to drag myself up this morning to get these ready. 

Takoyaki's is shabu-shabu pork in broth over mixed red and brown rice.

RM's is leftover (really) beef fried rice from an eatery nearby.

And after that, I guess I'm feeling kiiiiinda less guilty.

Tis Exams Fortnight

And I am super stressed out over RM's prep, plus my close relative is in hospital, so there just won't be much mojo. For now, store bought buns will have to suffice.
