Welcome!

I created this blog with the desire to make lunch simple, fun and healthy. I had turned to bento to make this possible.
I live with my husband and our adorable pets and we live a fairly busy life so, being able to have a fast fun lunch makes it easier to save money and eat healthy. Bento is for everyone, not just children, and I strive to inspire people to make lunch an exciting aspect of their day, instead of the same old monotonous task and boring foods which inevitably lead to spending too much money on cafeteria food or fast food, or skipping meals all together.
This blog really has grown to be so much more than I had originally invisioned! It really incorporates my love for local and fresh food and making meals fun and tasty, not just lunch! There is great potential for all meals and bento still really inspires me, but I also really enjoy being inspired by the local farmer's market, and different books and I think the blog has really taken off to so much more than just a bento blog. I hope you feel inspired and enjoy it as much as I do!

Thai Cuisine!

    For date night, my husband took me out for Thai. This was great because I was really wanting to try some authentic Thai cuisine.
The menu had so many choices, it took us quite awhile to decide, but we finally did.

I ordered: Tom Kha Gai, which is a chicken soup with coconut milk, chili, lime juice and mushrooms.
This soup was amazing! I really loved it. I cannot wait to try it again! It was just this perfect balance of flavours.

We also ordered an appetizer. Poa Pia Goong Tod: Springrolls stuffed with shrimp.
These were also quite good. Nice crunchy wrappers with huge shrimp inside.

For our main we ordered: 
Gang Garee Gai: chicken with potatoes, light curry and coconut milk.
This was very good, however I found it a bit sweet. Despite that, the potatoes were amazing, and the chicken was very tender.

...and we had Kao Pad Gai: Thai-style chicken fried rice.

This was very good, and exactly as described. Chicken fried rice.

Overall, I enjoyed our experience in Thai cuisine. I most definitely want to try it again. Next time, I am going to be more adventurous and order something spicy (and of course, that amazing soup)!

Hope you enjoyed your peek at my experience with Thai Cuisine! Maybe I will try to find a recipe for the soup! If I do, I will be sure to share it with you!
Until next time, Happy Munching!

    Spring rolls stuffed with shrimp?!
    Oh heck yes!!
    I've tried something similar to Gang Garee Gai.
    It was very good, they served it in a bowl, they gave me rice separate, and a plate.
    So I could mix in as much rice to curry chicken and vice versa.
    It was so delicious!
    If you like Thai food, there's a really adorable little place on Carling called the Silver Spoon.
    The waitresses there are really sweet and nerdy looking =P
    Try their Wonton Soup ^^
