Usually I cook/prepare the night before and pack in the morning. Yayoi-san got us a bag of Swiss meat balls from IKEA which is really convenient and tasty. When I'm in the mood, there are about 3 main items such as meat, vegie, and egg cooking. Sometimes I just have 1 main dish like curry rice or pasta bolognese - and an apple for Matt.
Matt also started contributing his cooking into the bento. He made his famous chilli the night before and we had it with brown rice for lunch, which was soooooo nice. I have forgotten how enjoyable Lunch time at work is. (I know, even in this so called Singapore's food paradise, it can get boring and sickening when it's every day). I don't mean to be arrogant but it's far better than eating at hawker center, for obvious reasons, but one thing I didn't know which i realized, is how effective presentation of food is. ... or is it just a Japanese thing?
Anyway, Matt can't wait and usually has lunch before noon time :) - that should be a good sign!
