Obento for Picnic

Posted September 10th, 2012 in Food, Japan, Perth WA No Comments »

We are definitely in middle of spring now. It’s been pretty warm for the last few days – though forecast says it’ll rain again soon. Time for lots of insects… (yay…)

Spring makes me feel happy, sleepy, and want to do laundry everyday. It also makes me want to go out for picnic with Hiro who always wants to get out of the house and play outdoor.

Lunch I made for Hiro the other day…. It’s not only for Hiro, by the way. He is a big eater but I don’t think his stomach can hold this much food. :p I made them to share with my friends.

This is one of the things I like about Perth. In Japan… well, in my hometown, you can hardly find park or nice place to sit down with kids and have lunch together. There’re always cars, buildings, and people passing by. There is park near my kindergarden, but it’s not big and the ground is covered with seaweed for some reason!! How come? Is it not seaweed? Or the area used to be under water or something? Very weird…. So I don’t want to take my kid there to play. He might try to eat it 🙁

My parents used to take me and my brother to many places for picnic when I was a child. Near Biwako Lake, some themed parks, and some public park. You have to drive there and is not really close to my house. So I definitely think Perth is very family-friendly and great environment for kids.
