Bento Mania #38
One of the weekend, I saw some fresh looking de-boned chicken drumstick from the wet market. I bought whatever he had on the counter and it cost me nearly RM60 as each drumstick cost about RM6 each and since the drumstick is all piled up, I underestimated the quantity. Why am I telling you all this? Nevermind.
Since I have so many de-boned chicken drumstick, I have to carefully plan and put them in individual container before freezing them. Remember that night when I cut the 1/4 of my finger nail? We had chicken chop for dinner. The rest of the drumstick I had them marinated in different ways. One of them is home skew chicken satay.
Recipe will come later when I blog about this one day. Please bear with me. *purposely make some people impatient*
I reserved two drumstick for adult (Hubby and Me la) bento as I planned to make something spicy.
Blend together chili + onions + garlic + thick coconut milk + salt + sugar. Everything goes into the freezer till I need to cook them.
Of course I have my faithful tupperware freezer-mate containers. *Any Tupperware enthusiastic fan? Please raise up your hand!* The night before, I will thaw them in the lower compartment in the fridge. Never thaw your poultry in room temperate to avoid food contamination.
To start off with the cooking, I have the marinated chicken grill in the oven for 30min at 200C. Discard drippings, flip chicken on the other side. If you have a bigger pan, place zucchini and onions on the side. If other wise, just dump everything on the chicken and all over it. Grill them furhter at 180C for 20mins.
I would prefer my chicken, onion and zucchini to burnt a little but I was running out of time. I had the base garnish with alfalfa. I have to remind Daddy to finished up all the alfalfa as they are such a healthy food ($$$). To Mummies out there who is still breastfeeding, eat lots of alfalfa to enhance milk production. I BF Baby Princess for 24 months. All thanks to alfalfa. If not because of my trip to States, I think I will still continue to BF her longer. OUT OF TOPIC ALREADY!!!
For dessert, we had a peach each.
I love the classic looks on this stainless steel Thermos bento box. The insulation bag is the one that attracts me the most and of course, it is a promotional products during July sales.

You prepare it in the morn before work? My air liur also meleleh….
The Queen says: Yea. Multi tasking early in the morning. But grilling is kinda easy cos I just shove everything in to the oven and have the rest of the time to get myself ready for work. Cooking time takes about 45mins and packing them takes another 20mins. Have to leave home by 7.20am latest cos it is a long journey and I have to clock in at 8.30am.

I’m a tupperware fan too, but nowadays I prefer Lock & Lock. Tupperware’s got that plastic taste leh, specially for tumblers :S
