Little lazy to make character using rice so think of using egg for my Hello Kitty theme ^_^ I make sunny side up and decorate with nori details. Very simple and quick provided my sunny side up egg successful :D I can't afford to make mistake due to lack of time in the morning. Always in a rush =_=" To view how I make sunny side up egg please click HERE for the tutorial.

I mix the cooked rice with Hello Kitty furikake and add some of the mini flakes. For side dishes contain gyoza, broccoli and grapes.

Bento2015#May25~Jiji Bento

Finally I'm back after more than two weeks bento break. Not school holidays but both of my kids not feeling well and my son already discharged from hospital last Thursday. Thank GOD that everything back to normal, I loved to hear the noise and laughter at home because it's been too long didn't hear it :(

I'm using Kiki Delivery Service bento box (bought it during my Japan trips) so thought of making Jiji for today's bento ^_^ This time I make it simple by just adding the minced pork to become Jiji. 

First, add the rice onto the bento box then use cling wrap to press out the shape of Jiji in the middle so that can fill up with minced pork. Next, add the rice eyeballs and nori details. Crabstick for big red bow and white part for Jiji ears. 

Some broccoli and grapes for side dishes. Can you spot my tiny fish furikake? Hehehe..... I just remove some fishes out from a packet of furikake. Have a lovely day! Stay healthy ^_^

Bento2015#May12~Baymax Quail Eggs

Oh how I wish that the time can move a bit slower =_=" Seem that many things cannot be done within 24 hours! Oh well, perhaps each time when I arrive home after work..... it's like continue working as a mother job. Everyday repeating the same routine except not cooking during the weekends. Phew!

Today's lunch I make it simple. All I can think is cute Baymax ^_^
My girl requested to eat Udon noodles so I stir-fried with some fish balls and sausage. After boiled the quail eggs, just roll into round shape to make Baymax head. Add nori for the details and I add red heart pick on top ^_^  Along the side, I add baby carrots and cucumber leaf. Some grapes at separate small container.

I hope you like today's sharing.

Bento2015#May07~Kiiroitori Quail Eggs

This bento is simple to make by just decorate the quail egg into Kiiroitori ^_^ Of course must soak the boiled quail eggs into the turmeric water to get the yellow touch. The nori details are done by puncher (save up time especially tiny details). The orange rice is white rice mix with furikake (Hello Kitty furikake packets with mini HK flakes).

Bento2015#May06~Inari Hello Kitty

Anyone wants my Hello Kitty inari snowballs? Actually my first idea wasn't making snowman, suppose to make each balls with different Hello Kitty face expression! Sadly, I'm running out of time to do so I just make it as snowman instead with simple expression.  I was cooking spaghetti for my son's lunch box and pack inari for my girl. So I waste on cooking time to prepare two different dishes =_="

In both of my kids lunch box have the same side dishes: broccoli, pan-fried chicken star nuggets, yam samosa, carrots and some HK pasta.

Here's my daughter favourite Inari sushi rice and I add Hello Kitty double up her happiness ^_^ Lol! The yellow HK rice mix with egg yolk and I punch out the nori details since I know not enough time.

Simple photo takings and manage to get it done before send them to school. Phew!
