Bento2015#Sep29~Lazy Panda Bento

Due to the bad weather (haze) that no school for today and I got the free time to update my yesterday bento lunch ^_^ Not sure whenever comes to Monday, I will make some thing like lazy and sleep bento :D So Panda bento pop to up and this round I don't shape with cling wrap but I used panda rice mould instead.

A closer look of the panda and mini quail egg panda ^_^ Simply use panda rice mould to shape up the rice and finish with nori details (freehand scissor cut) So easy right by using the rice mould :D

For side dishes have pea sprouts, gyoza, crab meat claw and some grapes/oranges.

I hope you like this simple panda bento and hopefully the haze will go away! We miss the fresh air so much..... sigh....

Bento2015#Sep28~Hotel Transylvania 2 Bento

Have you watch "Hotel Transylvania 2"? My kids can't wait to watch part 2 ever since they watched Hotel Transylvania. Especially my daughter so excited and we had a great movie hang out together during the weekend as well with my family. 
So I made this bento during the weekend and took me some times to update it today :P 
  

Here's the closer look of Dennis & Dracula Grandpa ^_^ Aww... think back the movie scene Dennis red curly hair super cute with big round eyes :D I didn't buy the organic red yeast noodle (used to bought it) due to my kids dislike the taste or else will be perfect to create Dennis hair here. Oh well, I use carrot instead and to make Dennis/Dracula face, I mix the rice with ketchup and shape them up by covering with nori details.
*Mostly freehand scissor cut out nori details.

For side dishes have chicken katsu with mayo and some broccoli. I also added the "Happy Halloween" food pick to match the upcoming next month Halloween Day :D Am I too early?

I hope you will like this Hotel Transylvania 2 Dennis & Dracula Bento ^_^

Bento2015#Sep23~Charlie Brown & Snoopy

I want to use the Snoopy lunch box that has been hiding inside my cabinet for quite some times :p Actually quite a lot of lunch boxes that I hardly use anymore due to the small compartment. 

Well, I make Charlie Brown hugging Snoopy and think I have not make Charlie Brown before ^_^

Bento2015#Sep22~Duffy Bento

Perhaps this bento you will see it as a bear bento but actually I'm making Disney Duffy Bear ^_^ Well, still look like a bear right? Haha...

Duffy brown rice make of chicken rice (overnight chicken rice from dinner) At first, I try to shape Duffy head as onigiri but fail....the rice is oily and seem that it won't stick together firmly =_=" After I remove the cling wrap and arrange it, the rice ball slowly loosen. Argh! So I need to change ideas. 

No time to waste so I just spread the chicken rice into the bento box and add white rice balls details to make Duffy face together with nori details.

For side dishes have minced pork, cheese balls and spinach.

I hope you like this simple Duffy Bento sharing ^_^ Happy Tuesday!

Bento2015#Sep21~Gudetama Tamago Sushi

Bento2015#Sep17~Sanrio Inarizushi

Let's make some Sanrio Inarizushi ^_^ I think this is my first attempt making three different Sanrio characters :p So which one you like the most among all three Sanrio? Honestly, I find My Melody face too small! Don't you think? Haha....

Here's the close up for Pom Pom Purin Inarizushi. Yellow rice make of hard boiled egg yolk mix with rice. Nori for the details and shimeji (top) for hat and I secure with toasted spaghetti.

Here's the close up for My Melody Inarizushi :) To make pink rice, I mix the rice with sakura denbu. The white face is make of fish ball and the red bow is crabstick.

Who's next? Of course is Hello Kitty ^_^ I know my daughter will tell me she likes Kitty-chan the most after she see her bento! If among all three Sanrio character I miss out Hello Kitty.... she will ask me why? Haha.... 
To make Hello Kitty is pretty easy, I just shape the rice and add two ears then finish up with nori details. Egg yolk for nose.

Since I'm using Monbento lunch box, I just fill up the extra space with some sausages, sweet peas, fishball (balance), lettuce and oranges.

I hope you like this simple Sanrio Inarizushi design ^_^ Have a great day!

Bento2015#Sep15~Pooh Tsum Tsum

I saw these cute Pooh Tsum Tsum at Google Image (image can be view after the post) so I decided to make for my daughter lunch box ^_^ Anyway, I didn't follow the actual image expressions from Google search.

First, I add the rice to the thermos and put one piece of inari on top. Next, I make three different sizes of Pooh Tsum Tsum mashed potatoes with nori details. All the nori details not freehand scissor cut out...I use puncher ^_^

Sshh..... little bunny still sound asleep ^_^ I think I'm the one who wish to be like bunny can sleep longer whenever is back to school day after weekend :D Well no worries.... coming Wednesday I can have a day break since is a Public Holiday for Malaysia Day! Yay!

So let's get back to my bunny bento. Is pretty simple and easy to make that I'm sure you can do it.

A closer look of the bunny bento. First, I shape the bunny head/ears/legs then leave a side. Second, I arrange some rice for the blanket, press firmly using cling wrap then cover up with inari. Third, I arrange the bunny head onigiri first follow by the ears (*Note: I didn't secure the ears with spaghetti since I'm putting broccoli). Next, I arrange the arms and finish up with the face feature nori (freehand scissor cut). The red part is make of crabstick. 

As for side dishes have pan-fried fish fillets, crabroll, carrots, quail egg and some grapes.

Bento2015#Sep10~Keroppi Cha-Soba

Let's have Cha-soba for lunch ^_^ So which Sanrio character that is "Green"? Yes it is "Keroppi" :D All you have to do just prepare the dishes and arrange it neatly to make Keroppi character.

Other than cha-soba, I also mix some charcoal soba for extra touch :p Keroppi eyes make of hard boiled egg (white) and nori. Red cheeks make of crabstick.

 

For side dishes have pea sprouts, flower cheese sausage that you can click HERE for tutorial and mandarin oranges. Some soy sauce for the soba at the froggy sauce bottle.

Bento2015#Sep09~Line Brown Bento

It's been quite some time I didn't make LINE emoticons :p Among "Brown", "Cony"& "Moon" I prefer to make BROWN.  What about you? Which character that you prefer the most? I marinated the chicken drummets overnight so that I can cook it next morning. All about "Brown" colour theme for my girl bento ^_^

A closer look of my Line Brown character. To make it brown, I add some sweet dark soy sauce into the rice and mix it. Next I use cling wrap to shape the head/body/ears. As for the white rice also press it until thinly to join with the brown head. Lastly, punch out some nori details and add-on. To avoid Brown body parts will loosen by the time reach school break, simply secure it with spaghetti.

As for smaller Brown is make of quail egg. After peel away the shell, rub against palm to make it round shape for Brown face. Slightly trim away the middle part to make it white circle. Just add-on the nori details and you got your smaller Brown as a plushy :D

For side dishes have honey with soy sauce chicken drummets, pea sprouts. 

I hope you like this simple Line Brown Bento. Have a lovely day!
