Pinwheel

Bento No. 160

This is my son favourite pumpkin rice which I adapted from http://food-4tots.com/2009/06/13/my-recipe-column-featured-in-kwong-wah-yit-poh/.  I arranged the Japanese green pumpkin looking like a pinwheel.  My hubby had handmade a pinwheel for him.  Why pinwheel?  This is my observation below.  First, his playmates has one on their bicycle.  Second, he learned about feng "风" in Mandarin class.  Third, when the weather gets windy, he can associate it with things like kite and pinwheel and therefore, he kept pestering me to make one.  I did made one but does not spin it smoothly so I got the help from my hubby.  He was exhilarated and hopping around the house like a rabbit.  It was a joy to watch him.
