About

Hello :)

The name Miss Bento Books came about as a wordplay between bento boxes and books.   I’m an avid lover of both. Also, I believe my personal style has to do with cute childish linear arts and organized zen style, thus the name.   

I’m a Filipino girl of Chinese descent based in Manila, Philippines and I absolutely eat books for lunch!

I’ve had a love affair with food (not just Japanese bentos) and books for quite a long time.  I’m a carnivore, more than a herbivore.  I was blessed to have grandparents, a mom and an uncle who just love preparing very good dishes at home, that I was exposed to very good food at an early age.  I must say that I’m more of an eater rather than a cook.  Nothing can make me give up eating very good dishes, so I try to run twice or thrice a week to control weight gains. 

I read all sorts of books from fiction to business, and really enjoy comics, science and technology articles.  Recently, I’m also dabbling with graphic design.  I’m also a couch potato who loves watching movies, TV series and documentaries. :D

What’s this Blog About?

I created this blog because I wanted more Filipinos, mainly, to know what’s long been missing in their lives.   I hope that through my personal love affair with food and books, that I can share my perspective and change yours for at least a couple of lunches and dinners.   There’s a huge life of meaning, a life of ideas and discussions and reading books opens all the doors to it.  I felt that by interplaying my love for food, books and art through this blog that I can help achieve these two simple goals:

Two Simple Goals:

Higher Enjoyment of Reading and Good Food

Discovering and Discussing Great Reads, Movies etc

So hey, what are you reading?  Let’s fill your mind and tummy to the brim :D
