Are you tired of your usual baon*?
The never-ending combination of the left-over from last night’s viand and
rice? Or the easy as one-two-three deep fried chicken nuggets, hotdog, ham,
tocino*, longganisa* or bacon plus the rice? Never forget the rice. We
Filipinos won’t even think of leaving the rice out in our meals.

Speaking of rice, Nihonjins* always include rice in their meals too. You see, we Filipino’s are not the only one fond of eating rice on our meals. Japanese people are our rice buddies too. And like us, they also feel incomplete if rice is not included in their meals. So they have rice for asagohan*, hirugohan*, and also for bangohan*. Since we have stated that Japanese people eats rice during hirugohan, Japanese students gets to eat rice too during their breaks, encased in their lunch boxes, filled with scrumptious and organized food in which we call Bento.
