Monday for lunch,
Maxine, Carmen, and I
headed for Bentto Japanese Express.

I do not understand their spelling
of "Bentto,"
but whatever.
"Bento," for those who don't know,
is a
Japanese boxed lunch.
Here's their menu:

We all ordered the vegetable, chicken, and shrimp tempura.

And here's our lunch.
No not really,
but Marion just sent me the Calvin & Hobbes Bento Lunch
and I thought I'd share.

I love it when I can watch my meal being prepared.
I also ordered the house soup -
a clear, smoky-flavored broth
with mushrooms and scallions.

Here's my tempura.
Fried broccoli, sweet potato, zucchini, onion,
chicken, and shrimp,
served with a mild soy dipping sauce.
The tempura was excellent.
And no.
I didn't eat the whole thing.
Brought Maxine's and my leftovers
home to Youngest Hawthorne
who enjoyed it for lunch on Tuesday.
I'll be back and try something different next time.
