Bento Box

Recently, I saw a lot of cute Bento pictures in Instagram and I am inspired!! So I started to make Bento for myself.
My first Bento was a mess. I used a Winnie The Pooh Bento box I bought from Disney Shop. And I put Tuna salad + sesame dressing inside. By the time I took out my Bento box, the dressing already oozed out. It was so messy!
Thus, I decided to invest in LockNLock container to prevent leakage, although, I have to sacrifice cuteness of Bento box appearance. Anyway, I rather eat food from neat Bento box than messy Bento box.

This is my second attempt using LockNLock container. It has dividers which make my food looks organized. Love it! Plus point is that the divider can be taken out.

Then I saw this giveaway in this post. I am super excited and hoping that I will be the lucky one! The giveaway has not ended yet. So, quickly join in and good luck to me and you  :D

Update
One of the night, I baked this for 2nd time as I was craving for some cookies. I had a lot of cake flour left in a flour box. So I decided to substitute corn flour for cake flour. I reduced sugar to 80g. It turns out to be more fragrant and more dedicated. It is still coarse and crispy. My boyfriend prefers this cake flour version more than corn flour version. But he still thought that it is too sweet for him. For me, I don't think it is sweet at all. Maybe I have sweeter tooth than him. LOL
