• Hand : Tomato rice wrap nori
• Tamagoyaki
• Pork wrap carrots & french bean (leftover from last night dinner that I made)
• Sweet pea

• Freehand scissor cut out nori for the details

I tried to add some of Albert Einstein quotes but many of them I like so among all, I pick this:

                                      "Imagination is more important than knowledge"
                                                                                                -Albert Einstein

Bento2014#Mar25~Elmo Onigiri Bento

As usual less food on Tuesday so I made simple onigiri with Elmo design on top ^_^ Elmo also one of my daughter's favourite when she was toddler but when I started making bento and introduced Hello Kitty to her. She prefers Kitty instead :D Well, more to girl theme I guess! But she still happy to see Elmo for her today's lunch.

Shape onigiri with chicken floss fillings inside with cling wrap then cover with nori. Elmo made from crabstick that I use cutter to cut out and add the nori details. Nose made from orange capsicum. 

I made another half body Elmo that stick on gyoza :) The body made from red capsicum and the rest of it from crabstick as well.

For side dishes: gyoza and spinach. Watermelon at another small container that I didn't take picture together :)

I hope today's Elmo Onigiri will brighten up your day!

Mantou anyone?? Piggy & Hello Kitty

It's Saturday and why I'm here writing on weekend? Well, just have the "good" mood doing some baking :p Yes, I'm the kind of follow my mood swing on baking...haha....so today I made simple piggy mantou and hello kitty mantou. My very 1st attempt making character design and still need lots of practice to make it better ^_^ Really admire those who can baked and cooked!

 Bought this recipe book quite some time but didn't make the effort of making it =_=" Love to flipped the pages but lack of motivation of doing it compare making bento :D

Here is my Piggy Mantou. The recipe book that I followed was supposely in pink colours for the nose and ears but I don't have the ingredients. So I did some changes by mixing cooked pumpkin for the orange colour.

I tried out making Hello Kitty Mantou as well and didn't turn out pretty :p Well, as long my kids love it and enjoy making together means a whole world to me ^_^ The whiskers I add chocolate rice before steam it and it melts nicely (surprised me) Eye balls were black candy (bought from bakery shop)

Ta-da....end of hard work for today!! Haha....not sure when will I gain back the "good" mood on baking :) Happy Weekend to all! 

Bento2014#Mar20~Line Cony & Brown

As per request from my darling girl "Line Cony & Line Brown" that she likes these two emoticons ^_^ She even told me that Cony likes Brown that I actually didn't aware of it :D I'm totally lost right? Oh well, I do love these two characters and they both looked so cute!! Today's lunch bento I made them hug each other :)

Here is the close up Cony hugs Brown ^_^ I shape Cony using cling wrap and made onigiri (chicken floss fillings) and Brown (rice mix dark sweet sauce). Freehand scissor cut out nori for the details and I add red food gel for cheeks & Cony ears. To cover the holes next to Cony, I add sweet corn (mix some butter), lettuce and pea sprouts.

For side dishes: Air-fry fish fillet and potato wedges. Simple bunny apple carving and some ketchup at chick sauce container.

So let's hug our loved ones today (everyday is the BEST). Happy Thursday! Hugs~

Bento2014#Mar19~Rilakkuma & Friends

Last night dinner cooked some sweet chicken stew so I soaked the hard boiled egg together (sadly didn't soaked long enough as I want to put the egg into the Rilakkuma mould) These two eggs will be my today's theme bento ^_^ 

Here is the close up photo of Rilakkuma & Korilakkuma. My egg wasn't big enough to cover the whole egg mould so the eyes & mouth didn't turn out well.....hahaha.....I'm being fussy right? Well, I add kombu, cheese, crabstick (white) for the details. Underneath Rilakkuma, minced beef covered the rice.

For side dishes: Broccoli, sweet pea, strawberry and furikake (Rilakkuma container)

Hope you will like today's lunch and have a nice day!  

Bento2014#Mar18~Saint Patrick Hello Kitty

Opps.... I've forgotten yesterday was Saint Patrick's Day :p Last year I made Garfield girlfriend's Arlene. Click HERE for my last year post ^_^ Today is Tuesday, as usual less food for my darling girl. I made Hello Kitty version wearing GREEN outfits!! 

Very simple design by using broccoli as green dress and green hat. Underneath Kitty-chan, I mixed rice with egg yolk for yellow colour. To made Kitty-chan face, I used HK cookie cutter to pressed the rice and add nori details. Green ribbon made of edamame (used cutter) and tiny cute shoe as well :)

For side dishes: Prawns, sausages (cut half for heart shape) and apples as shamrock.

Bento2014#Mar17~Kuromi Bento

It's Monday again!! Week by week seem so fast and now my daughter will request what she wants for her lunch bento ^_^ I don't have to think much now but just sketched it out. Last night, she passed me mini Kuromi toy for me to displayed together with today's bento. (I removed it after photo takings).

Kuromi is another Sanrio character. White rabbit-like creature, wearing black Jester's hat with pink skull (hmm.... I skipped) and a black devil tail (hmm...kinda dislike the "devil" word). I draw Kuromi on baking paper then scissor cut together with nori. After cut out Kuromi lay on cheese. Freehand scissor cut for eyes and punch out nori lip. For the red dots, I used straw to poke out from crabstick. The rice, I mixed with black sesame powder and cut out "KUROMI" words from kombu.  Lastly, I add angel wings picks for Kuromi to have the good side instead of the evil side due to the tail & skull :D Hahaha..

For side dishes: Sweet drummets, broccoli, cauliflower, lemon slices and apple as leaf.

I hope you will like today's Kuromi Bento. Happy Monday!

Bento2014#Mar13~My Neighbor Totoro Inarizushi

Here's my son birthday lunch bento ^_^ Nothing cute except the egg container that he doesn't mind to bring along! Yay! I put one red hard boiled egg inside because it's his birthday!! I think most kids love to crack the hard boiled egg shell but pretty sure his fingers will stain some red colour :p

Well, I hope you will like today's lunch bento! Happy Wednesday!!

Bento2014#Mar11~Roti Canai HK

Anybody like Indian pancake called "Roti Canai"? My family love it but we don't eat often ^_^ This roti canai not homebake (bought frozen pack) cause I'm not good at it! The last time I made was very long ago....gosh I think have not married yet!!! Haha....Well, perhaps when I'm in the mood or free will let my kids have fun ^_^

Fold two pieces of the roti canai into rectangle shape to form Hello Kitty face. Freehand scissor nori cut for HK face features by adding mayo to stick on. Cheese for nose and strawberry for flower & ribbon (use hk cutter)

My girl prefers her roti canai with sugar instead of curry ^_^ Stick hk ring into the strawberry for pretty decoration :)

Yummy Hello Kitty roti canai that I hope can brighten up your day!! Happy Tuesday!



 

Bento2014#Mar10~Pray For MH370

Been following the Malaysia airline MH370 missing news since Saturday....prayers and hope until today and I can't think of any idea but PRAY images in my thought.....so for today's bento lunch just a simple design of a girl praying....

Here is the closer look of the little girl cut out from nori but first I draw on a baking paper then scissor cut out together with nori seaweed. I mixed two different rice flavour, the heart shape rice mixed with tomato ketchup and use heart shape mould to shape it. The brown rice mixed with sweet dark sauce and add around the heart shape rice. But after I pressed evenly, noticed that the heart shape didn't stand out so I add broccoli surround the heart ^_^ Lastly, I add yellow (eggsheet) & red (crabstick) hearts.

Side dishes: Broccoli, sausages, button mushroom, beancurd wrap, apple carving and strawberry. Balance cut out heart eggsheet (don't waste) and crabstick (heart)

Prayers for HOPE, LOVE for MH370 and family members. Have a nice Monday! Hugs!!
