Here's something I almost forgot to write about. A few months ago, just as I was about to leave for work, I found this taped on our front door.
Happy days are back again.
Enter Garandee Bento 2.0
Wrapped exactly the way they do it in Japan, in elementary schools to be exact. I guess now I better be nice to her all the time or else I might find some of that delectable natto in there.
Best of all, it's finally microwave safe. Itadakimasu!
I took those photos this morning, so yes, that obento sign is still plastered on our front door. And apparently Garandee's bento theme for today is "Bora-bora" (Japanized meat balls).
Garando mode:MEAT!!

jan pala nanggaling ang bento meals lol.
Nicely wrapped. I sometimes bring packed lunch. I also want to prepare it bento-like. Pero kelangang gumising ako ng mas maaga. And of course, to take pix, too. =)
I'm sure you do like it. Whether we like it or not, our wife's cooking is always delicious :)
you are so lucky to have a wife who cooks so well at pinagbabaunan ka pa!
i like the bandana packaging! so nice!
i should pack kj's lunchbox in a bandana! ^-^
ang sarap ng lunchtimes mo ulit!
oh yes! bentos are actually lunchbox. i miss the authentic japanese food in bentos.
My mom used to pack my lunches exactly like that back in grade school. I never could put the wrap back together like she did. It kept me frustrated for a long time.
I love the traditional way Mrs. G wrapped the food, how she carefully prepares the food from the kitchen till it is placed in the air tight food cannister, it is awesome, may pabaong pagmamahal.
God bless.
awwww. You're so lucky! I want a garandee to do my lunches too! so sick of out-doors food, fast food, argh! Then the stove hates me...
awhiiiieee!! Good for you! xDD
looks very sweet and delicious~ <333
thoughtful and sweet! mukhang masarap pa yung baon mo! yummy. ;D
BTW, do you want a full version of USB disk security? I can send it to your email.
wow, bento goodness, i wish i can preprare something like that for the hubby, he'd rather eat in canteens eh... hmmmp...
thanks for hanging around my blog, Mark!
btw, i visited choto stop out of curiosity from your post.
i LOVE the monaka thingie. basically hoarded my own supply, too =D
I like the way Japanese wrapped the food or the box of the food. =D Looks yummy huh?! =D

Now that is a good-looking lunch!
Oooooh nice, nice! VERY nice! :D
wow looks yummy! do they still do that bento wrap thingy in Japan? hahaha I'm in Japan but I don't know that coz I don't see that in here ( I was thinking maybe not here in our city)
It sure looks appetizing (d gaya ng mga binabaon ko sa office dito sa Saudi -- masebong nilagang baka, mamantikang adobo, maalat na pakbet, etc). Ang sabi nga ng amo naming Western whenever he visits our eating area: such a wonderful display of beautiful colors...and unappetizing smell! Chura lang nya!
Pakipost nga po ung recipe ng nasa Bento box ni Garandee....para naman mas matuwa ang amo ko next time.
Hey Garando! Thanks for visiting my site! Anyway, I was wondering, does garandee have a japanese take on our filipino food? Like, an adobo onigiri perhaps?
Nagutom ako sa post mo eh. :p
Very lucky! The good times are back!
Wait! What was that on top of the rice? I think somebody swiped it before taking a pic!
that's what i like about the japanese -- the presentation is just as important as the food itself. oishi ba? :)
お弁当か？
いいな。。。俺も食べたい
Yah, been a long time since I last made one for me...I think it was 5 years ago or something like that.
It's always good to have some homemade food right?
hello po! pwede makahingi ng bento recipes ni garandee? gusto ko i-try gawin para samin ng asawa ko.. eto po email ko, sashikiwarashi_027@yahoo.com.. thanks!
Borabora is cool :D
How nice. Looks yummy!
Oh I'm glad you are now fine after your bout with flu.
I guess I should read some of your past entries, tagal ko rin nag-absent dito sa blog mo hehehe. sorry ha..will make up ;)
Awww that looks sooo yummy! I love meatballs!
I want to learn how to make nice bento lunches and wrap them nicely too!
the way it's wrapped reminds me of dumplings!
bento meals really are fun to eat because of the visual presentation.
uy sarap!
Yummy baon! Sarap mag lunch nyan. hehe

Lawstude:
Yup, now you know the origin! :D
Witsandnuts:
Sige when you get the chance to make one, please do share the photos ha! ;)
Dodong Flores:
Absolutely correct! Complaining about the wife's cooking usually leads to serious repercussions. :D
KG, Ms Firefly:
Thank you! Yan din yata yung sinu-suot nyang bandana while she's preparing my bento eh. :D
The donG:
True!
Raine:
yeah, it took me awhile to figure out how my wife wrapped it too! Now I just put the bandana in the thing when I'm done. easier. :D
The Pope:
Thank you! :)
Twishinky:
I know how you feel, the entire kitchen hates me.
Bakkanekko:
Thank you! Yes, I enjoy the food so far.. as long as it's not natto! :D
Chyng:
Oh Yes please!! Can you please send it to me? I'll write my email on your blog. Thank you so much!
Sheng:
Ganun? Try starting with his favorite dish, maybe that will change his mind? :)
Reena:
You're welcome! You are very lucky to be able to still get those from choto stop! Lagi akong walang ma abutan eh. :D
Summer, Midge, Alice Teh:
Thank you! Garandee's happy to see your comments.
Missy:
Garandee said some of the Japanese still wrap bentos, specially for their children. But I guess it might be more frequent in towns rather than cities kaya?
Isladanebz:
LOL! Natawa ako dun ah. Actually na mi-miss ko nga yang mga yan eh. Kaya minsan I ask Garandee not to make my bento para sa cafeteria naman ako kakain.
Eto yung link sa mga english bento recipes: Enjoy!

Rein:
You're welcome! She loves original filipino food like pork sinigang, pinakbet, ginataang kalabasa, mostly the ones with a lot of vegetables. But she doesn't like the filipinized japanese food (like adobo onigiri). Though I'd probably feel the same way if they made sushi out of my paksiw na bangus. :D
Rico:
LOL! That's furikake. Some kind of seasoning they put on top of the rice para magka lasa. :D
Sleepless in KL:
True! It's nice to see how much presentation really matters to them. I wish Garandee did the same to her closet. :D
Shadowmoon:
Cool, you know how to write in Japanese! Yes, homecooked meals are always more affordable and healthy! ;)
