My taste buds are weird right now: I’m craving more cooked food in this bloody hot weather! It was like that last year too. With the onset of summer, I relished raw food and even wrote about it here. But something’s been up with my cravings this week. The temperatures are as high as 34-35 [...]
Hey guys, I thought it would be interesting to see what my readers think are the top 10 fave posts here at Raw Bento. I wasn’t surprised that the coconut-frosted brownie came out tops….;-) #1 Raw Coconut-Frosted Brownie #2 Raw Vegan Bibimbap #3 Raw Pad Thai #4 Raspberry Chia Pudding #5 My Favourite Chia Seed [...]
Since I live in Tokyo, I don’t get access to many “cool” raw food items but I really need the variety to keep my meals exciting. I’m lucky that the non-raw fiance flies to the US regularly so I get him to buy me some raw goodies. But he has a rule: no liquids. That’s [...]
Thanks for all your lovely and kind comments on my Midnight Pancakes post. I was feeling very emo and needed some support… Today, I thought I would write what I eat for folks who are interested in what a typical day of food is like for me in Tokyo. It really changes all the time [...]
Lately, I have been a bit dismayed that green smoothies are making feel nauseous — it’s so strange because I adore green smoothies. [And no, I'm not pregnant...] I had a large serving of my raw banana split one night and the day after everything felt wrong. I couldn’t stomach raw food. I had a [...]
…I got a Blendtec!!!! I’m in heaven… This is a second hand Blendtec Total Blender Basic for 27,000JPY (USD300; I understand that a brand new one would cost anywhere between USD400 – 500) from a fellow rawbie who is leaving Tokyo soon. It is still in excellent condition and she even bleached it before passing [...]
I’ve blogged about my raw food disasters here before, but I’ve never done a post on saving a failed attempt. I’m not even going to post this recipe because it was kinda awful. Basically it was a walnut-cashew-lemon raw cookie that was supposed to be dehydrated, but guess what, I thought my freezer could be [...]
…yet another chia pudding. This is a hemp seed milk one with raw buckwheat cereal from Raw Pleasure in Australia with strawberries, banana, and dried cherries. I had a few chia puddings in Singapore when I bought some from the organic section in local supermarket chain, NTUC. I was so surprised to find buckwheat and [...]
Look what I got in the mail!!! I stopped shopping for raw food online so much because the non-raw fiance goes to the US quite often so he’s my courier boy for all things raw. But he doesn’t do liquids because he doesn’t check in his luggage. Once in awhile, I order stuff from The [...]
Hello beautiful people, I love having some time to post more on this beloved space. I’ve more thoughts on the raw food diet and it’s been almost two years (a year and 10 months) on this journey (inspired by these posts: here, here, and here). But first, I want to share a very lovely dressing [...]
