    @mangrothian I like the plain Greek yogurt too!

    Where do you get your umeboshi from? I've been looking and asking at various different Asian grocers and no one seems ro stock it :(

    I can find umeboshi in any 'healthy' store. o-o Natural Grocers, Whole Foods, Sprouts, etc.

    @pixelpuff unfortunately, the 'health foods' style stores in Australia don't stock a lot of that stuff, and stores like wholefoods are nearly non existent and extremely overpriced. So it's to the specialty Asian grocers we go ;)

    I get most of my stuff from the CBD; either Tang's (it used to be called 'The Great Eastern Grocer') on Russell St just past Bourke St in the city. The other places are Hometown Grocer on the top end of Elizabeth St. There's also Fujimart in Prahran behind the market. I can also get them at my local Asian grocer in Sunbury, but I doubt you want to travel there for it ^_^

    Tomorrow's fun. I get to be at work at 6 am, so am bringing some fruit to share with my two coworkers. I cut up some of the mango and cantaloupe using my cake decorating stuff. There are also just some mango spears and some raspberries in the container, plus two kiwis on the side. My lunch is leftover remnants of mango and cantaloupe, spinach, shrimp and fiery sriracha hummus.

    I packed my first bento yesterday for work today! (have packed for my husband couple times this week)
    No photo as have an issue with my photobucket acc.
    Bottom layer of my super cute bear box was rice with spring onions, one side of the top layer was raw carrot, cucumber, cauliflower and broccoli, other side was roasted chicken breast stuffed with cream cheese and basil pesto.

    Thanks! I've checked out a couple of places in the city and couldn't find any (maybe I'm looking in the wrong places haha) I'll try Fujimart, its a bit closer to home than the CBD, thanks :smile: :smile:

    @Sorchya Yum! What's the meat in the first one?

    Can I ask why all the cling-film? With the exception of the fruit, most of it looks like it wouldn't affect the flavour of the other foods with juices, or oil etc. I used to do the same thing with my early Bento's, then realised that unless something was slightly oily or saucy that they didn't really need to be separated.

    ETA: Forgot to ask about the meat >.<
