I usually bake on weekend for the school lunches to save time in packing lunches during the week. These are my kids' favourites : chicken, bacon, and leek pie (recipe here); mini pizza (I used the leftover pastry from the pies and spread tomato ketchup, pineapple, ham and cheese toppings); and also ham & cheese steamed buns (steamed buns recipe here, just replace the pork filling with ham and cheese instead).
For my eldest son, I prepared :
1. Chicken, bacon, and leek pie
2. Ham and cheese steamed bun
3. Milk jelly with nata de coco
4. Corn on the cob
5. Baby carrots and lettuce
6. Apple cuts for recess
For my youngest son, I prepared :

2. Ham and cheese steamed bun

4. Corn on the cob
5. Baby carrots and lettuce
6. Banana for recess
The boys love their wraps. This time, I filled the wraps with lettuce, shredded carrots, mayo, shredded roast chicken, cheese and ham. For a bit of fun, I created cute chicks for their lunches. I put additional carrots, black sesame seeds, and a tiny dips of tomato ketchup on the top of the cracking "egg shells" and they looked so adorable :)
For my youngest son, I prepared :
1. Chicken wrap
2. Cute chick
3. Milk jelly with nata de coco

The eldest brother had the same lunch as his little brother, but he had rockmelon cuts instead for recess.
I haven't made sushi for my boys for quite some time even though these are one of their favourite foods. No wonder this morning they were full with excitement to find out that they were going to have sushi for their lunches.
I'm pretty sure they are going to bring empty lunch boxes home after school. It is worth the effort, I suppose!
If you want to know more about sushi and learn how to make sushi, you can learn from my favourite blogger : Nami (Just One Cookbook).
