Bento2015#Sep08~Hello Domokun

Say "Hi" to Domo-kun ^_^ I like to make this cute character because is simple and less decoration details. This round I make minced beef patty to create Domo-kun. 

Shape the minced beef patty into few parts then pan-fried them. To let it stay put just secure all parts with spaghetti. For Domokun mouth, I use crabstick and freehand penknife cut out the teeth.

Side dishes have half hard boiled egg, broccoli and carrots.

I hope you like this simple Domo-kun Bento. Thank you for your visit and have lovely day!

Bento2015#Jul01~Domokun Spam

Make a quick lunch using spam meat to create Domo-kun character ^_^ Just simply use nori and crabstick for the details and you can easily make one at home. The balance spam meat will be hiding underneath the quail egg :D  Not forgetting the milk cabbage cover part of the Domo-kun.

I hope you will like this simple Domo-kun bento. Have a lovely mid-week!

Bento2014#Dec22~Domokun Xmas

Countdown 3 more days to go and we're going to attend Christmas Vigil Mass on Christmas Eve. My kids can't wait to open their Christmas presents and I made Domo-kun stand-by and waiting.....hahaha....my final Christmas bento for this year 2014.

Here's the close up Snowman made from mashed potato (I mashed the cooked potato with fork and mixed with parmesan cheese powder/dash of salt) Punch out nori details and scissor cut out the hands. Crabstick for nose and scarf.

As for Domokun made from pan-fried potato with breadcrumbs. I shaped the mashed potato as Domokun before I start to pan-fried with breadcrumbs. I prefer less oil so I don't go for deep fried the potatoes :p After done, I just add crabstick for Domo mouth/hat and nori for eyes. 

For side dishes have broccoli, eggsheet, chicken fillets and mayonnaise for extra flavours ^_^

I hope you like this Domokun Xmas Bento & early greetings from me Merry Christmas!

Bento2014#Sep24~Domokun Bento

It's Wednesday already? Today making hungry Domokun for my daughter's bento lunchbox. I hardly use this lunchbox due to the square size and I know my girl will prefer cute lunchbox compare to this plain one ^_^ Well, after she saw Domokun this morning while I was taking photos, she said: Oh....Domokun makes me hungry mummy! Haha....so sweet to hear that even though just a simple prawn patties change into Domokun character!
   

Here's the close up Domokun made from prawn patties (I used airfryer for this frozen prawn patties. Yes, I didn't make it but will look for a nice recipe to make one ^_^) Add crabstick for Domokun mouth and nori for eyes. Then cut out Domokun letters using cutter. 
 

For side dishes have fishballs, broccoli, lotus root, tamyoyaki, mini grapes and mayonnaise at the bunny sauce container. The tamagoyaki is two tones, I mix one egg with dark sweet sauce then another egg just normal to make this two tones :)
 

Ta-da...meet hungry Domokun Bento for today's post. I find it funny whenever I make Domokun, it seem that Domokun looks hungry ^_^ Not sure is it due to the huge open mouth?? Hahaha.....

Have a nice day & thank you very much for visiting my blog. 

Domo-kun Ice Cream Dinner

Yay!!! For those who have followed me at Instagram will know "NO BENTO" for a month due to my kids school holidays! So happy that no wake up call for every morning & can relax my mind, no more mad rush prepare/cooking/photo takings etc....

Well, today's weather so super HOT so thought of making Domo-kun Ice cream for dinner foodart. Just a simple dinner!

Mix the rice with some dark sweet sauce for brown colour then shape it into icecream using cling wrap. Freehand scissor cut out the eyes and penknife cut out crabstick for Domo-kun mouth. Arrange it and add pea sprout aside.

Cook some old cucumber pork rib soup and thought of decorate the old cucumber with sparkling eyes (Affiliate link at the bottom). Cute right? 

Hope you will like this simple dinner foodart ^_^ Happy Thursday!

Bento2014#May06~Domo-kun Prata

It's Tuesday and as usual less food for my daughter ^_^ Ever since I let her bring roti prata for the passed Tuesday....she loved it and wants it every Tuesday :D Now this will make me headache what to create? hahaha.... 

Oh well, so this 3rd creation I made Domo-kun. I tried to made it as simple as possible. Just three ingredients: Roti prata/canai, apple & sugar

Carved the apple as leave and since I have plenty of time, I play along the carved tools.....so I made another designed. I tried to carved flower and didn't work well :p Next to the apple, I add sugar to monbento sauce conatiner.

Two pieces of roti prata inside Monbento bento box. I carved apple for Domo-kun big mouth and freehand scissor cut out nori for eyes. 

Simple and quick bento. I hope you like it and have a nice Tuesday!

Bento#Oct08~Piggies Inari & Domokun Inari

Today I packed Inari sushi for my kids school lunch break. I don't understand why the school make it every Tuesday, out of 40 minutes lunch break, all student only have 10 minutes to finish up their meals and line up to the hall for extra curriculum =_=" Argh....pity those students who queuing for their meals!!! So my kids have reminded me again last night! "Mummy, please don't pack so much foods!" So today for not being hungry even though must pack less....I made inari sushi ^_^ The above "piggies inari" bento lunch for my girl. Haha....with pretty eye lashes must be for a girl bento right?

Here is my boy's favourite character "Domokun Inari" Crabstick for the huge mouth and punch out the nori for eyes! Well, I hope you will like today's simple Inari sushi lunch ^_^ Happy Tuesday!

Bento#Aug31~56th Malaysia National Day Bento

31st August 2013 is Malaysia 56th National Day! This celebration lunch bento was made yesterday ^_^ Just a simple Friday Bento. In this bento, I made two sibling celebrating National Day together with their favorite cartoon characters! Pretty easy to see if you've followed my blogs that my sweet girl loves "Hello Kitty"! As for my son....he has a Domokun sling bag so I thought he might liked it!

Let's have a closer look of the sibling ^_^ I used Monbento bento box. I add red & white rice at the bottom to represent the flag (sadly not obvious) Made two different sizes of onigiri balls for the sibling heads and add nori seaweed for all the details :) Hello Kitty made from rice using rice mould to shaped it! Domokun is squid analog with crabstick and nori seaweed for details. As for the Malaysia flag was done by my son :) He Google search the flag pictures and helped me to stick to the toothpicks! My girl decorated the party hats ^_^ Yesterday was a fun day!

I hope you will like this lunch bento! Time to go out to do some shopping before the school opens on coming Monday :)

Bento#June06A~Domo-kun Kyaraben

Today's weather was super HOT!!! So I have the idea of making umbrella or stay away from the heat ^_^ I bought some wholewheat bun, and decided to make egg mayo salad. One hard boiled egg and mashed then mixed with mayonnaise, cherry tomato and cucumber cut into tiny cubes. I filled in the egg salad into the wheat bun but you need to cut a hole and leave the top part for umbrella design.

I saw these squid analog just nice for Domokun designed ^_^ Freehand knife cut out the crabtick for mouth and sharp teeth. Lastly, punch out the nori for eyes using puncher. 

Honey cherry tomato hiding underneath the umbrella and the balance egg salad filled into the bunny silicon cup. Lastly, I did a leaf cucumber craving that I've learn from Japanese cooking you-tube. I hope you will like this Domo-kun Kyaraben snack ^_^ I can't wait for weekend....what about you? Cheers!

Bento#May09~Domo-kun Makisushi

Domo-kun is one of my son's favourite mascot so I thought of making Domo-kun Makisushi for his lunch box. My daughter still having fever and coughing so for this week bento I will do for my son. I can't made any cute character but luckily he allows Domo-kun in his lunch box *phew...... If not, I will just take away Domo-kun's big mouth!!! Haha....

To made the brown sushi, I mixed the rice with sweet dark sauce and shape into rectangle sushi. I actually add the mouth (ketchup mixed with rice) in the middle then rolled together with the brown rice but after making Makisushi, the red mouth out of shape and not red enough so I have to cover the part with crabstick :) Freehand cut out the teeth and punch out nori eyes. Next, I add sweet corn, flower ham and cucumber.

Cut some kiwi fruits and honeydew melon into cubes and add strawberry on top. I add "DOMO" picks but after taking photos, I took out the picks as I know my son dislike it =_=" He's big boy now and when he's young, he used to like it but now.....haiz....grown up already so I must accept it!

Well, I hope you like this Domo-Kun Makisushi ideas that I've created :) Please pray for my darling girl will get well soon. Thank you so much!

 This is my lunch meal at home. I cooked fried rice and put scramble egg as Kiiroitori Kyaraben in the middle. Cut some cherry tomato as roses and decorate. Finished with the nori details using puncher. Hope you will like this lunch meal too! Cheers!

Bento#Feb15~Domo-kun loved balloons!!!

I bought a loaf of two tones bread (cocoa & white). And I noticed some of the cocoa part more than the white so decided to make Domo-kun for my kids school snack bento ^_^

This pink bento box Domo-kun is for my daughter. For your info that I actually swapped the domo-kun as this is much more bigger than the other after taking pictures!! While making it didn't realize =_=" Ok, back to making....I used scissor to cut out the cocoa part for Domo-kun body. Used hand cutter domo-kun hands and boiled crab stick for mouth & teeth. Underneath Domo-kun will be red bean bun. Secured the hands with spaghetti strips or you may spread some jam/mayo etc... Then I add some balloons for Domo-kun and some grapes, marshmallow and homebaked Hello Kitty pineapple tarts ^_^

This red bento box Domo-kun is for my son. As you can see this Domo-kun smaller than the above bento :) The slices of two tones bread for cocoa part not big enough so that's the bigger size I can cut out. Everything the same as above except the balloons and pineapple tarts as piggy.

Hope you will like these two cute Domo-kun bentos ^_^ Cheers!
