Spring Outing, a Romantic Rendezvous
"I have a house, facing the sea, with spring flowers blossoming," a line many cherish as a luxurious ideal. Spring has arrived, and once again, mountains are adorned with a riot of flowers. Many are already planning their spring excursions, and today, let's talk all about spring outings.
A spring outing, historically known as "tàqīng" (踏青), is a traditional cultural and recreational activity. "On the third day of the third month, the weather is fresh and new; by the waters of Chang'an, many beautiful ladies appear." Du Fu's poem depicts the grand scene of spring outings in the Tang Dynasty. While we admire the beautiful scenery, there's one thing we should always keep in mind: what delicious food have we brought? Food options at spring outing spots are often limited, so it's necessary to pack your own essential snacks! So, what's good to bring? Let's take a look at our food recommendation: Beautiful Bento Boxes!
Delicious Bento Box, Part 1: Korean-Style Sushi Cake>>>
Reason for recommendation: Its beautiful appearance will make your heart bloom even before you take a bite. Sometimes, enjoying food is about savoring a mood. We believe this beautiful bento will add a special touch to your spring outing. It's well-balanced nutritionally and uses a rich variety of ingredients. It's a highly recommended item from me, and I hope you'll all love it.
Delicious Bento Box, Part 2: Braised Pork Belly Bento>>>
Reason for recommendation: Who can resist the temptation of braised pork belly? It's said that Dongpo Pork, a famous dish, is a type of braised pork belly made by Su Dongpo. The difference is that the entire process uses Huadiao wine without adding any water, resulting in a better texture. A dish that tempts your stomach, I'm sure you'll fall in love with it. For those who love it, get cooking!
Delicious Bento Box, Part 3: Three-Color Rice with Pig's Trotter and Corn Soup>>>

It's both time-saving and delicious. This economical and visually appealing meal is also a great value. The ingredients include dried shrimp and soft peas, which are excellent for calcium supplementation and are in season. A perfect combination!

Delicious Bento Box, Part 7: Office Worker's Bento>>>
Reason for recommendation: This is a great choice, whether you're on a day trip, going to work, or heading to class. A nutritious apple, chewy ham, a甜甜圈 (sweet doughnut) that every girl loves, a quail egg with a runny yolk, and a few sour pickles to cut the richness. Are you tempted? I think this bento should be called "Your Stomach's Temptation," haha.
Delicious Bento Box, Part 8: Tomato and Minced Meat Fried Dough Slices with Braised Broccoli and Carrot>>>
Reason for recommendation: You can tell from the rich ingredients that this is a universally delicious dish. Broccoli is a healthy vegetable known for its anti-cancer properties, and carrots are rich in vitamins, making them perfect for spring. Paired with the slightly sour tomato and minced meat, who wouldn't love this stewed noodle dish?
Delicious Bento Box, Part 9: Purple Cabbage and Meat Sauce Fried Rice>>>
Reason for recommendation: Simple, but also delicious. Purple cabbage is rich in vitamins C, E, and B-complex vitamins. Its high fiber content can enhance gastrointestinal function, promote intestinal peristalsis, and lower cholesterol levels. It's also a great ingredient for preventing allergies. Pair it with a bottle of mineral water, and you're all set—food, drink, and entertainment!
Little Tips: Try to choose seasonal ingredients. However, a spring outing can be physically demanding, so it's essential to pack foods that are filling, nutritious, and replenish your energy. If you eat too many greasy foods, it's a good idea to bring some hawthorn cake or hawthorn slices to help digest the grease after your meal.
Also, a romantic reminder: pay attention to health and hygiene. The spring weather can be unpredictable—sunny one moment, rainy the next. When you go out for a spring outing, be sure to pack enough clothes and rain gear to avoid getting soaked and catching a cold. If you're having a picnic in the wild, pay attention to the hygiene of your drinking water and food. Don't sit in cool, damp places to avoid getting sick. When having a barbecue, be mindful of the wind and don't discard fire carelessly; make sure to extinguish any remaining embers. People with a history of allergies should try to avoid places with lots of flowers. It's also wise to prepare some common medicines, such as berberine for diarrhea and anti-inflammatory drugs.
We hope you have a pleasant journey and a wonderful spring outing! This topic is divided into two parts. In the next part, we will recommend more excellent ingredients and beautiful bento boxes for you to choose from. We hope you like it!
