School Lunch

1 March 2010
Every day my kids come in from recess at 12:00, wash their hands, and sit down to lunch. Not unusual for a full-day kindergarten class. Some kids bring lunch from home, while others order a school lunch. Also not unusual. Around 11:45, there is a wave of adults, usually women, who bring freshly made lunches for the kids. These women are usually kids' moms or housekeepers/nannies and this is not a phenomenon that happens only for kindergarten kiddos. One day I decided to take a photo of the lunches my kids eat. Bon appetit!
Kids have a choice of Asian or Western food from school. Above is the Asian entree, and below is the Western entree. These little blue trays are not just for schools! All over town restaurants advertise Office Lunches for very cheap. Around 11:30, it is not uncommon to see motorbikes piled high with these trays- Delivery Service!

These little lunch boxes are so cool! They come with a thermos for rice, and then 2 containers. This student always brings some kind of soup and a meat that he scoops into the rice one bite at a time!
This is the lunch that started this whole wave of photos. Isn't this cute! A closer look is below!
