Have you ever seen sunrise in the mountains?
Today’s bento is inspired by the beautiful scene of sunrise in Jade mountain, the highest mountain in Taiwan. At first, the mountains are still dark and purple. Only the snow-capped top is visible. But slowly, you can see the golden sun starts to shine and brighten the sky with beautiful orange shades.
Whenever I think of that scene, I feel empowered and hopeful. The sun will come out and the darkness will fade away.
The ☀️ in the bento is my carrot and turmeric egg ball. As for the mountain which is capped by snow, It’s purple rice ball cooked with coconut milk and then garnished with shredded coconut.
