What to you pack for kids' recess/lunch in school?

[MummyThreeStreams]

Bake a batch of fruit muffins or scones, freeze them and give them out one or two at a time.

I think spaghetti or pasta keeps well, even overnight.

Can also do a nice cold chicken salad.

Some ideas here:


1. sandwiches (can put in different ingredients - ham, cheese, tuna spread, salmon spread, fried egg, luncheon meat, sausages, cucumber, etc.)

2. biscuits or japanese rice crackers
3. cake

4. pau or siew mai

5. bread and buns

6. fried noodles, bee hoon, kway teow, bi tai mak, fried rice

7. carrot cake, chee cheong fun, pumpkin cake, yam cake

8. nonya kueh

9. dumpling, lor mai kai, glutinous rice (not too much or very full and indigestion)

10. baked potato (with mayo and ham and cheese), or french fries or fried potato with fish finger or sausages or fake scallop

Drinks you can just give water but maybe once / twice a week have a treat of fruit juice or milo. Can also keep some small treats like a pack of seaweed or raisins or gummy bears now and then.

Hope this helps.
