Little Miss Bento

iEcon recently approached me to share with their readers a simple bento recipe tutorial,. iEcon is a grocery retail franchise chain in Singapore, known for his small localised retail outlets. Most Singaporeans will know iEcon as ‘宜康’, as the company has been supporting a long running local variety tv show. 

I was looking through my gallery and spotted this bento recipe made earlier this year. I had not post it till now so since I am sharing this with iEcon readers, I wanted to share them with you too. 

Specially for you – there is an additional bonus recipe below on how to make little sausage fishes for bento!

I hope you like this easy bento recipe with the step by step photo guide.
