Snax Box # 071 Happy Butterflies

It's the first day of the week but no Monday blues as we look forward for this week, there's only four working days :P.  Hope everyone had a good time during the long weekend.  Three days is not really very long but for working mums, we always treasure our days off where we can spend time with our family and kids.

I didn't know what to pack for my lil boy today and I bought a pack of the twiggies waffle cake at the sundry shop yesterday.  I cut the waffle cake into half and I only pack half for lil prince as I don't think he can finish the whole waffle.  To make my snack box more attractive, I added some cheese 'butterflies' with a happy smile.  The two lil so called dimple (in red) are tomato sauce.  I gave a tiny drop on the cheek to make the butterflies 'blush'...hehehehe...

The other two side dishes are peach and cherry tomatoes (one yellow and one red).  Not forgetting his favourite biscuits.

I bought this 'biskut ais jem' from Giant and they brought back my childhood memories.  I remember we ate this a lot when I was young.  We will always choose our favourite colours to eat.  Now, it has become my lil prince favourite biscuits.

Have a great week ahead.
