This year’s ‘Bento Kids Could Do’ campaign introduced Japanese cuisine and the concept of Bento meals, a single-portion home-packed meal common in Japanese cuisine that traditionally holds rice, fish, meat with pickled or cooked vegetables with fruit or other sweet items. It is usually beautifully packed in a box-shaped container and is well balanced nutritionally. Japanese people spend time and energy on a carefully prepared bento box for their spouse, child, or themselves.
The children learnt how to prepare for Ayam Brand™ dishes in a fun and interactive session that was specially developed to suit people of different ages and abilities; namely Mixed Fruit Salad, Baked Bean, Heart Shaped Sardine Sandwich and Tuna Onigiri under the guidance of celebrity Chef Loke from T-Garden Cooking School.

“Bento box making is a useful daily skill that kids and adults can use to pack food for school or for work. It is a healthy, affordable, and convenient alternative to buying lunch or dinner, and it is easier to control portion sizes, that can be useful in fighting obesity. It helps in developing food appreciation including how to combine flavours and ingredients,” Tunku Dato’ Mu’tamir added that all Ayam Brand™ products do not contain added MSG, are preservative-free, can be eaten straight from the can and are Halal.
