        Besides giving him money for recess, I put in ham buns by Four Leaves, plus a packet of milk as a snack. It has proved a life-saver when the recess queues are long or when he forgets his wallet. If he does eat at the canteen, then the bun and milk will be saved for the bus trip home. Call me kiasu…

          plain/seaweed/cheese crackers that they can dip into tuna/salmon (canned ones, pull the lid ready to eat)


          fruits sticks (seedless grapes,strawberries,blueberries)

          * Vege sticks (cherry tomatoes, carrots) can add their favorite dip at the side

          * chocolate pudding, fruit jelly from ntuc

          * yam bread (crystal jade) it’s very filling even for an adult

          * honey cornflakes/wheat biscuits

            I usually pack a simple snackbox for DS for the first week of school every year, consisting of nutella/ham cheese sandwiches or pita (I add chicken or ham with cheese), cereal and a fruit. After the first week, things should be more or less settled and he will buy food from the canteen.

                May I know will ham and cheese sandwich lasts till recess time? I never tried packing this before, always thinking ham (picnic/honey baked) & cheese ( cheddar?)have to be refrigerated. Will it spoil cos my DS is in the afternoon session. Kindly advise. He loves this combination very much.

                  The ham will keep better if you pan fry it first. That’s why baked buns with filling can last a few days without refrigeration.

                    Thank you cherrygal for your idea. May I know if cheese (cheddar) can withstand room temperature till recess in the afternoon 3pm if I pack around 12 noon?

                      I doubt cheese can turn bad so easily, ESP cheddar cheese.


                      But donch prepare those mayo stuff such as mayo egg, or tuna…confirm food poisoning.

                        The Kraft blue box cheddar cheese block can be kept without refrigeration. Saw some supermarkets doing that. If you want to be safe, use that instead of the single cheese slices.
