Here Is My Secret


Alright. Here it is. I'm letting you guys in on my secret. I'm spilling the beans. Off with the Superman cape. Haha ;D


I have mentioned a few times that I get my inspirations from bento magazines. Indeed they are one of my precious bento 'gears'. I get (a.k.a. steal, LOL!) a lot of ideas and acquired many bento skills from the pages of these magazines. I ADORE them and could spend a good few hours looking through them over and over again ;)


My collection so far >.<

You know what they say. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery :D

    1. High-5 Shirley! Lol! Is it easy to find them at your place? I fear the time when I finally leave Japan, and won't have access to the stores which sell them :(

  3. You make wonderful creations with them, your bento interpretation of the books it's always amazing.

    Are the pictures difficult to follow? I'd like to buy some of them but I am afraid I don't understand anything...

    1. Mayumi, I swear I don't know how to read Japanese! The magazines have lots of pictures which speak for themselves. Try getting your hands on one. But I warn you, like me, you may get addicted to collect them all! LOL!

    1. Wow, how exciting!! I cannot wait :D I love Japanese bento magazines; if only I could understand them, and they are easily available, and I could do with a cheaper price too. LOL.
