Hello Kitty Movie Time Foodart

Anybody going to watch Transformers: Age of Extinction or perhaps you've watched? Hubby bought tickets for this coming weekend Sunday movie time. Yay!! My son can't wait but not for my daughter :D May be she's a girl....hold on....I'm a adult girl but I love to watch Transformers!! Haha....so to make it fun and excited for the coming movie time. I made dinner foodart ^_^ It's Hello Kitty enjoys her movie time watching T4!!! No time to made four Hello Kitty as a family so just one Kitty-chan will do :)

You don't need a mould to do this ^_^ All I do just use cling wrap and shape them. Easy right? I tried to make it simple without too many details so the popcorn and drinks....hmm....not what I want but well...still passed right? Popcorn made from egg sheet (cut small). I also made movie seat with number A1!! Do you notice it? 

Simple side dishes: veggies, eggs, bake beans and steam fish (not in this photo).

Happy Blessed Weekend and if you're watching T4 too~ Enjoy!!!

Bento2014#Jun26~Sugarbunnies Kurousa Costume

Okay....this should be the last Sanrio character costume girl for the time being :p I want to make other theme as Sanrio characters still have few more to go....so pause for few weeks then only continue making my costume girl again :D Well, today's lunch is about Sugarbunnies ^_^ There are many different sugarbunnies in Sanrio characters, but twin bunnies seem popular :) Brown bunny called Kurousa and white bunny called Shirousa. Today I chose the brown bunny Kurousa as the brown colour can easily stand out as a costume.

Here's the closer look of Kurousa Costume Girl ^_^ To made brown Kurousa, I mix the rice with dark sweet sauce. As for the girl, I mix the rice with ketchup. Scissor cut out the nori for the details and  penknife cut out the kamaboko (pink part) for Kurousa's ears. 

For side dishes: Chicken seaweed wrap, star fishcakes, tamagoyaki, lettuce, sweet peas and checker apple.

Bento2014#Jun24~My Melody Inarizushi

Less food for today's lunch ^_^ I made inarizushi and shape My Melody kyaraben and rest on top of the inarizushi :) I don't have Mizkan sushi pink mix so I just use ketchup to mix the rice and use My Melody cookie cutter as mould to shape the outline. To avoid sticky, I use cling wrap and pressed the rice.
First, made the inarizushi then rest at the bottom. Next, shape My Melody then rest on top ^_^ Simple right? I add two mini rice balls for My Melody and decorate with ribbon & flower using crabstick and corns. I tried to capture both My Melody but I find it hard =_=" Cause it will blocked the image.....sigh....

I carved apple leave and also made apple roses ^_^ How to made? 

Just cut the apple half and slice thinly for the petals. Add all the apple slices and cover with water then let it boil until soft. Remove the apple and strain the water by putting on top of the kitchen towel. Next, take the smallest slice of apple to start making roses. 

The other half apple, I cut it to make it as leave. To see the tutorial can click HERE

Ta-da....can you spot the other smilling My Melody? That's the reason I can't capture nicely if close up =_=" Well, hope you like it! Happy Tuesday!

Continue my costume girl theme for Sanrio character ^_^ So what's for Monday? Moody girl in Badtz-maru costume!!! Why is she moody? Mainly because mummy the bento maker wants to sleep longer!!! hahaha...

Here's the close up Badtz-maru costume girl ^_^ I'm happy that turn out well for Badtz-maru as I really took some time to shape it! Making the girl face onigiri is easy but shaping the badtz-maru spiky hair was tricky!! 
Yellow rice made from rice mix with mashed egg yolk. Badtz-maru made from rice and nori. As for badtz-maru eyes were egg white (from the hard boiled egg). Cheese for girl's eyebrows and badtz-maru mouth. Freehand scissor cut out the nori details. Red cheeks made from crabstick (red part).

Bento2014#Jun16~Duck Costume Girl

I hope you won't get bored of my animal costume theme creations ^_^ I played along the Variety Yoyo from my mobile to get inspired by her face features and dressup. This is the final dressup costume from the Variety Yoyo. The rest of the designed all about dresses in different culture & occasion. So I'll continue to dressed up my little girl in other animals or sanrio characters prehaps :D  This Variety Yoyo can be found at android app on Google play. Click HERE to view.


Here's the close up Duck Costume Girl ^_^ This time I let her wear spectacle :D Cute right? If you follow my last week posts, I mix the rice with ketchup for face. To made the duck yellow, I mix the rice with yellow furikake. As you can see from the above picture, the yellow rice looks sticky or don't even look like rice at all.  When I want to reheat all the overnight rice, I add too much water so the top part was fine (face) but when I scoop the bottom part to made the duck so sticky after mixing yellow furikake :D But honestly, the best part was much easier to shape it! Hahaha....
Carrots for orange part, nori for the details and egg sheet for the spec ^_^ All nori freehand scissor cut except the duck's eyes/nose I use puncher. 

Today's lunch bento I pack them into Nude Food Movers which my kids love it. For side dishes: pea sprouts along the side, apple and drumette stews.

I hope you like today's Duck Costume Girl lunch bento. Happy Monday!

Finally my girl back to school and she's happy to bring her new lunchbox!!! I made Hello Kitty with pretty sparkling eyes ^_^ Lovely?? Hahaha..... I pray for her eyes to heal better so looks like I can't helped it to cut out pretty eyes for Hello Kitty :p 

I shaped Hello Kitty using the mould and cling wrap. Pink bow made from kamaboko, nose is sweet corn and lastly freehand scissor cut out nori for details.

As for the two side containers contain: Broccoli, minced meat, quail egg as Hello Kitty and oranges.

By the way, do you notice my Hello Kitty Rainbow Loom?

I want to make it too ^_^ 5am Bento also made many amazing bento creations and I'm sure some of you already know her at Instagram :)
