Pumpkin rice and Letter "K"

Bento No. 185
Yesterday, I boiled pumpkin soup and had some leftover.  Hence, I cooked pumpkin rice adapted from http://food-4tots.com/2009/06/13/my-recipe-column-featured-in-kwong-wah-yit-poh/ for his lunch.  My son loves pumpkin be it cooked in any style.  I cube and steam it over the rice (which I seasoned with black and light soy sauce and add dried mushroom, shrimp, shallots and chicken breast).  Then I created a letter "K" using the pumpkin.  And I also packed his favourite grapes to go along with it.

After celebrating my little boy's birthday, we have another "old boy" birthday on 9th April 2012 i.e. our dearest Papa.  I have been training my son to sing the cantonese version of birthday song and he did it very well on Monday's night right after dinner.  I decided not to bake any chocolate cake because I think we had enough on my boy's birthday.  Instead, we had orange blueberry muffin and digestive biscuits with chocolate buttercream and an edible image specially ordered/made for my husband.
