My 2nd Christmas theme bento design will be "Snowman" More to night scenery with Christmas Tree lights on ^_^ I love to see Christmas night scenery with all the lights on and if snowing even better but sadly I have not experience it :( Will wait my kids to grown up and their body able to cope with the weather :D Do leave me some comment and share with me your winter experience! I would love to hear from you!
I cooked sweet minced beef with garlic and arrange on top of cooked rice. Cut sweet pea and decorate as Christmas Tree and capsicum (yellow/red) as lights. Snowman made from cheese and cut by two different sizes of cutter. Punch out nori for the details of the eyes/mouth/buttons. Red capsicum as hat and scarf.
Some broccoli, potato wedges and oranges for side dishes. Lastly, decorate with Christmas picks and nori snowflakes at the oranges ^_^ I hope you will like this simple night scenery Christmas Snowman theme bento. Hugs!
While cleaning and sorting out my food picks.... I saw this cute set of picks that I bought since my Osaka trips! Time to open ceremony those cute picks ^_^ Haha.... Well, I choose bunny blue pick and pink sheep pick for today's post! I have left over yam rice from last night dinner so I just heat up and sprinkle some flower/sesame furikake on top! I add some cucumber as leave for some green touch :)
A closer look of the Bunny Quail Egg and Sheep Quial Egg ^_^ After removed the quail shell, just gentle rub on your palm for oval shape. Insert the picks and punch out nori for all the details! I add some red cheeks (food gel). Lastly, freehand scissor cut the eyelashes. *Note: I insert wrongly for the blue bunny picks =_=" Didn't realizeit :p
For side dishes: Cut the sausages into half as heart and carve apple. Quick lunch bento for my girl as she has requested. I hope you will like it and have a nice day!
Hello Kitty lunch bento for today ^_^ Not just one kitty but many of them!! Haha....Well, I like to use this bento box bought from 100 yen shop quite some time ago :p So must make use of it and I decided to do a simple design bento.
Pretty easy to made. Just arrange the rice into each compartment. One of them add sweet minced pork on top of the rice as brown kitty ^_^ One white kitty & brown kitty with carrot decoration as ribbon, nose and flower. Next, I punch out nori for eyes and whiskers using Hello Kitty puncher.
For side dishes, I add broccoli, sweet pea, fish balls, tamagoyaki and carrots using kitty cookie cutter to cut out as well the apple ^_^ So cute until I can't help it and eat few apples while cut out. Pretty HK picks for the final touch!
Well, I'm sure this simple Hello Kitty design pretty easy to make ^_^ Hope you will enjoy reading and Happy Bento!
Non kyaraben bento for today :p I want to use this BEAR triangle container so I thought of making simple lunch bento. Just cooked tomato spaghetti for my kids lunch and put the tomato pasta sauce into the BEAR container. Pretty easy right? Haha...
After the spaghetti cooked, I arrange neatly and cut out some cucumber, cherry tomato to made them into pretty roses. Underneath the cucumber roses is egg sheet that I slice into noodle form. I also made crab stick (red & white) into flowers and in the middle brown colour with butterfly picks are quail eggs (soak with dark sweet sauce water).
Below the Bear container, I add two fish ball (mixed with mushroom that I bought it from Figo brand). Well, I hope you will enjoy my today's Bear Bento ^_^ Happy Monday!!
I still have left over egg sheet so I thought of making design egg sheet. Just a simple design to make them into Little Chicks ^_^ Still can be improve as I only use one medium egg white for this design. Will try again for better result! So, today's lunch I cooked fried rice and cover with Little Chicks egg sheet.
Little Chicks Egg Sheet: First I use egg shape cutter to cut out my left over egg sheet. I cut out 4 chicks to fit in well into my bento box. Next, take an egg & just want the eggwhite to make this design. Mixed the eggwhite with some cornstarch/water and strain to a new bowl. Take a non-stick pan, pour the eggwhite mixture then lay the cut out oval egg shape on top. Let it rest and make sure turn off the heat as you don't want the eggwhites over cooked :p Final touch is to add nori for cute different expression.
As for side dish I just add tamagoyaki, cherry tomato, ketchup (chick sauce container), fish cake, oranges, cucumber and apple as leaves.
Ta-da....simple lunch bento for today and I hope you will like it ^_^ Have a great day! Cheers!
Today's post will be Chirtmas Season bento theme ^_^ I can't believe that Christmas is just one month time and I saw some of my FB friends already started decorate Christmas tree!!! I haven't started decorate Christmas tree yet but I liked to start with making Christmas theme bento first :D As usual the first thought will be "Hello Kitty". I draw out one night before what should I do with Hello Kitty so I decided made Reindeer. Simple design and don't have to spend a lot of time making them.
Here is the close up of my Hello Kitty Reindeer kyaraben ^_^ Very simple, you just need to made a onigiri and wrap with inari then finish with carrot, nori and egg sheet for all the details. Kitty eye's I used puncher and add some lashes. Freehand scissor cut out nori for the whiskers! After arranged the Kitty reindeer into the bento box, I add broccoli, lettuce and Christmas theme pasta.
As for another side, I add sweet chicken drummet, tamagoyaki, overlap green & red apple as leave to matched the Christmas theme colours! Mini sausage as reindeer by adding nori and carrot as well with food picks.

Kids requested sushi for their lunch bento last night so I read through my Japanese sushi book for ideas. I found this chicks look pretty easy but too bad I'm not sure how to make the orange part for the chick mouth due to lack of ingredients =_=" End up I just rolled with rice and nori then after cut out the makisushi, I add orange capsicum on top to replaced. Hehe....did I passed?? Well, this is my 1st attempt so I need to practice more to make it better :)

Yellow rice: Rice mix with yellow furikake White rice: Rice as cracked shell Craked "w" : Inari with nori Orange part : Orange capsicum use round cutter to cut
Spend too long for making the chicks!! The only side dishes I can managed was just adding some strawberry, lettuce, quail eggs (soak with turmeric powder water), ketchup (chick sauce cup) and hawflakes. Well, I hope you will like my today's post "Chicks Makisushi" ^_^ Cheers! Bento Tools:
