A great store though. :) It is like a mix of Pete's Frootique and cooking store (depending on the state).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389380.post-29076867020701947232009-01-30T02:38:00.000-04:002009-01-30T02:38:00.000-04:00Ack...I just noticed who wrote the post jomamma!

I also found a really cool double decker metal container at World Market.

Well, there were when I last lived here 13 years ago haha! I'll be heading to Drala in the next few days. I was thinking also maybe Pier 1? I'll let you know.

I need a few days to build up a freezer of goodies first!<BR/><BR/>Hi Spellflinger!<BR/><BR/>How exciting to find someone else in Halifax who also loves bento! A long time ago, I posted a picture of the bento box I purchased at Drala. They had them last time I was in (shortly before Christmas) and it seems like it's something they keep in stock regularly so I think there's a good chance they would still have them. I would just suggest calling first. <BR/><BR/>Sadly, that's the only place I've found actual bento boxes locally and I've been in pretty much every Asian themed store and grocery around here. Backyard and Veranda (There's one in Park Lane and one at Dartmouth Crossing) had some really nice stainless steel lunch boxes before Christmas though, the smallest of which would make a perfect bento box. I'm not sure if they still have them though. <BR/><BR/>Ebay and Jbox.com have been my best friends in finding bento supplies. Locally, silcone muffin cups, decorative skewers and sushi grass are about the only bento accessories I've found.<BR/><BR/>Feel free to email me any time if you need help finding something!Jackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18345886709385495819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389380.post-8675963342295203112009-01-26T18:37:00.000-04:002009-01-26T18:37:00.000-04:00Hi Jackie!

Does the store you mentioned still carry them and do you know of any other places here in HRM? I can't wait to get started although I realized that I've been essentially making Bento's without realizing it!Spellflingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11465962360368994686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389380.post-82500982847285721602009-01-18T11:25:00.000-04:002009-01-18T11:25:00.000-04:00Please make more bentos again.
