This is gorgeous and looks healthy. Would you give some detail on what they all are?
The larger dish looks like rice with peas and an egg. The orange pieces look like carrots...I'm mystified by the container at right, is it dessert? I love the green stripy things. Are they cookies?
Thanks

The little containers are sold separately as part of a set of portion cups.

Top container: Peas with bit of carrots, chicken nuggets, carrots, steamed fish cooked in soy sauce with ginger, salted radish, and some other stuff.
Bottom container: Exactly what you described.
Desert container: The word-by-word translation is pig skin cake, which is quite a terrible name. The green layer is made from tapioca flour with coconut leaves for color, sugar, etc..., the yellow layer is made of sweet mung bean paste. It's very time consuming to make because each layer need to solidify before the next layer can be put on. You can buy it from most asian fast food place though.
The round dumpling thing is a hollow ball of flour, with mung bean in the center, covered with sesame seed and deep fry. The deep frying part isn't healthy at all though.
Then there're some grapes, a sweet sticky rice cooked with mung bean topped with dry cranberry. It's a slightly sweet snack. I just noticed with there's a lot of mung bean here. We usually call it green bean and often use it in snacks, healthy stuff.
Btw, each container is the size of a 3x5 card with about 1 inch deep. Talk about portion control.
Why aren't you doing this for a living??? I think there
are lots of upwardly mobile folks who would pay thru the nose to have your beautifully prepared and artfully displayed meals!! I see a business here.
