Importance of the Bento Box

by David Mickel Educational Management

A 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.

 

The bento box subculture is popular in Thailand, with a variety of blogs, photo galleries (on Flickr and 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, bento box recipes and blogs, and more.

 

While bento box can be as complex as you want, beginners can start with just a few tools, many of which are probably at hands, such as cookie cutters (for cutting sandwiches), edible ink marks (for drawing faces and decorating food and even writing notes), toothpicks and flute cupcake bags. A few minutes in the morning can make it something to celebrate a normal breakfast. If you want to buy specific bento supplies, you can go online at armabox.net.
