(don't) forget your lunch

Hi! I'm Sam. I don't really cook...I think I just "assemble" food so I really like to make bento! I try to post as much as I can but I disappear for extended periods of time depending on my schedule :) I overwhelm myself sometimes, what can I say?

If you like me, check out my other blog forgot my head for my other creative, non-food things. Like fashion, because that's kind of what I'm studying at university.
Sou bao.  Peach buns!  Traditionally for birthdays in Chinese culture…they aren’t filled with peaches just shaped like them as a symbol of longevity (though my Mom never served them, probably because she’s not partial to them, and I like my cake).  These ones are filled with a sweet black bean paste, though often they are filled with red bean or lotus seed paste.   No one’s birthday around here, they were just too cute to pass up (got them at Foody Mart last night <3), though they’re a bit dry and too many for just me >.< I’m trying my hand at making steam buns as I type (dough’s rising) so hopefully mine don’t turn out quite so dry.  No sweet fillings from me though, I like my buns meaty.  Mmm.  Meats.
