Easy-to-Pack School Lunch for Your Kids

It’s always a pleasure preparing lunches for your beloved kids to bring to school, but days come when you’d rather just put something together quickly and call it a day. Life can get busy and we all feel unwell on some days. We get you, that’s totally normal!

However, as parents, it’s our constant worry to make sure that our little kids are eating healthy even without our presence. But how are you supposed to prep a school lunch that’s both quick and healthy?

One of life’s best saviors in these modern days is our access to online shopping and buying ready-made food for convenience. Because of this, you no longer have to brainstorm about school lunch ideas or google quick lunch recipes — prepping a healthy baon for kids is now easy online!

Preserved Laing in a Bottle (Bottled Laing)

Gourmet food has found its way to popularity for many decades due to the unique and luxurious taste experience it offers. They weren’t exactly affordable nor easy to get your hands on, but as time went on, they evolved to bottled gourmet (such as gourmet tuyo) and even just plain bottled food, then preserved food in bottles or jars became even more popular.

If you scroll on popular social media sites today, you’ll see various kinds of bottled food left and right. But one type you might not see as often (or probably have never seen at all) is bottled laing.

Laing is a simple dish made with taro leaves in coconut cream. Despite the simplicity, it’s not a recipe easily mastered by many; it takes a unique addition of spices and the right process of cooking.

In the Philippines, Kucai’s Kitchen is one of the bestsellers of preserved laing in a bottle. They have sold box after box and acquired client after client — they’re even looking forward to starting export!

This famous bottled laing is rich, creamy, delicious, and beyond tasty. You wouldn’t think simple taro leaves with coconut cream would be that enjoyable to eat, but because it is spiced with chili pepper, onions, ginger, garlic, and shrimp paste, you can just imagine the burst of flavors that come with it.

And because this is in a bottle, undeniably healthy, and proven delicious, this makes it the perfect baon for your kids. The real quick lunch prep: just drop it into the bag and the kids’ ulam are all taken care of!

Bread Pudding For Dessert

The perfect lunch wouldn’t be complete without a sweet dessert, and you can never go wrong with a tub of classic bread pudding. 

Apart from bottled laing, Kucai’s Kitchen also offers bread pudding made from freshly baked bread, milk, egg, sugar, and butter. For an affordable price, you get to order a tub that could even be good for sharing with your kids and their friends. It’s not too sweet and holds just the right amount of creaminess so no need to worry about feeding unhealthy food to your kids.

Quick Snack For School

If you’re a parent who loves seeing your kids full and happy, you’d know that an easy-to-prepare lunch has to include a savory snack for when they feel out of energy and hungry in the middle of the day.

Salted egg potato chips are among the most popular potato chip flavors in the Philippines, and it’s no question that the kids will love it as a school snack too!

Good thing they can be bought together with the bottled laing and bread pudding for grab-and-go 5-minute school lunch prep.

There’s no better feeling than conquering a challengingly busy day with convenience — food right at your doorstep, packing in an instant, and sending the kids to school with relief that good and healthy food is what will accompany their day.
