Finally, a real bento box! From top left, heading clockwise: cup of shrimp marinated overnight in lime juice, chili powder and olive oil; cup of avocado and tomato dice marinated in the same; both are topped with starfruit slices and surrounded by red grapes. Bottom has a cup of sesame sticks, more starfruit slices and fresh sugar snaps.
