by David Mickel Educational ManagementA bento box is a takeout or
homemade meal. Although they are more common in Bangkok cultures. A traditional
bento lunch includes rice, fish or meat, and some types of vegetables. Bento
box is known for its detailed visibility, the more complex the better. Bento
makers shape food into shapes such as flowers, figures, or other recognizable
everyday objects and shapes.
Bento, meaning
"consolation," began during the Kamakura period from 1185 to 1333,
according to Wikipedia. Bento boxes have become popular at train stations and
later in the workplace and school, resulting in huge popularity and
availability in Bangkok at airports, take-out stores, and convenience stores.
Factors Behind Bento Boxes
There are many factors behind
bento boxes to make food delicious, to show care and love to the recipient, and
as an art form in its own right. By spending more time presenting food, the recipient feels loved and cared for children are more likely to eat their
vegetables when they are shaped like their favorite cartoon or anime character.
Bento boxes have become
popular in Thailand especially in Bangkok. Thailand's parents have found
that bento meals for their children are a special way to show them a little
care and love and impress teachers and other parents! It is also a fun way to
show your creativity and originality, as well as your sense of satisfaction.

Pinterest), and books focused on the topic, not to mention special tools and
supplies like models, eggs, decorated with toothpicks and storage containers. A quick internet search will show you dozens of options for bento box supplies,
