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.

Bento2014#Jun25~Keroppi Costume Girl

Do you like Sanrio Keroppi character? Today's lunch continue making costume girl theme bento ^_^ As per request from my daughter, she wants Keroppi this time and what's more she even told me this week Sanrio characters!! Lol..... I just do the sketching and the making :D I hope you won't get bored of reading or looking at this costume girl =_=" By this week I should able to finished it and will start making others on next week.  After all, she's the one who eating right? She's happy & I'm happier ^_^

Here's the close up Keroppi Costume Girl ^_^ I tried to make the Keroppi stand out this time instead of laying on the bento box. To support it, I add rice at the bottom then only put the shaped Keroppi on top. To make Keroppi green, I mix the rice with edamame & broccoli. For girl face, mix rice with ketchup and add nori for details. As for Keroppi body, I use crabstick at the body and add the red part as the strips.

For side dishes: soy sauce drumette, okra with chikuwa, edamame and eggsheet.

I hope you will like this cute Keroppi Costume Girl ^_^ Happy Wednesday!

Bento2014#Apr23~Cutezcute Froggy Bento

Here's my yesterday bento lunch that I've mentioned on my previous post ^_^ If you're in a rush and want to make cute bento for your kids....use cute mould to shape it! Not just bread but rice too! I did made few designed using cookie cutter as well Cutezcute cutters! Click HERE & HERE for my past post using Cutezcute :)

To matched my froggy bento box, I shaped the rice as froggy too! Mixed the rice with green furikake (a bit dark green as I don't have light green) After mixed well, used cling wrap to wrap the rice then put to the Cutezcute mould to shape. Lastly, take the froggy cutter to cut out carrots for the details. Simple right? 

Note: After done phototakings, I covered it and the carrots fits inside the rice & makes it perfect! I didn't pressed it before add the bento cover but happen that can't close tightly so no other choice by pressing it. When I open and check see what happen with the carrots.....ended all fits right to the rice :D hahaha....just sharing as I didn't take another picture of it!

Side dishes have soy sauce chicken drumettes, cucumber, carrots, chicken floss and checker apple.

I hope you will like this Cutezcute Froggy Bento and if you have the cutter and create more other characters! Is fun ^_^ 

Bento#Sept12~Froggy Sushi

 I remember Hippomum's blog shared the tutorial of the "Froggy Sushi" so I browse through her blogs last night and looks pretty easy so input the tutorail to my brain. So this morning, I'm so confident to made and thought that I don't have to view back the tutorial blog's while making ^_^ Sadly, I made a huge mistake on the froggy eyes and body!!!! Argh....so I've learned my lesson and will try again. 

Inside the bento box contained four froggy sushi ^_^ To made the green colour rice, I add green furikake mixed rice and mashed mung peas. To see more of the details, just click HERE for Hippomum's Blog ^_^ Remember to followed the froggy eyes steps :D I decorate the broccoli as froggy and add chicken wrap seaweed, slice of orange and flower fish cake. Not enough space for me to add more dishes but I think is enough for her to finish due to the froggy sushi I made was pretty HUGE!

This is for my son's bento box. I'll packed same dishes for my son but without design ^_^ Surprisingly he allowed me to add the froggy eyes with nori! So I took a shot of his bento box :) Well, I hope you will like today's Froggy Sushi. Perhaps next week I will try to make them again! Cheers!

Bento#July02~CuteZCute Frog Kyaraben

Ribbit ribbit....I made Frog Kyaraben using CuteZcute cutter for today's lunch ^_^ I like this cutters and pretty handy when comes to cute bento design! Looks like I can just made the whole theme CutezCute animals kyaraben :D

A closer look of the frog kyaraben. How I shaped it? Just mixed the rice with green furikake and used the cling wrap to shape into a flatten round shaped then put to the CuteZcute mould and pressed according the shaped. After done may removed the cling wrap. Before I arranged the frog kyaraben, I add the sweet rice bottom then put the frog kyaraben on top. Next, just cut out kombu/boiled seaweed for the eyes, nose, mouth using the frog face CuteZcute cutter. To made the eyes look great, I add carrots on top of the kombu. Lastly, shape two cute round rice for the legs.

Side dishes have broccoli, carrots, button mushroom, crabstick as flower and chicken wing. I hope you will like this idea by using CuteZcute cutter to made cute kyaraben. Cheers!

Bento#Feb12~Be Mine Valentine Froggies

It's Valentine's Day!!! Happy Valentine's Day to all of you ^_^

Today I made "Be Mine Valentine" cute couple froggies for my hubby :p

Froggies made from two different type of cheese and used bear cookie cutter mold to cut out the cheese and turn it into frogs :) Couple frogs eyes/nose/lips used puncher to punch nori except the female frog eyelashes freehand scissor cut the nori. Put flower pick in the middle to show that the male frog gave flower to the female frog ^_^ Also to hints my hubby!!! Haha...

The heart shape egg a bit failure =_=" I just want to try out my new mold by using microwave to make sunny up egg. The instruction all in Japanese words and I totally cannot understand :( Gosh.....just based on the picture to figure it out and hmmm....didn't turn out well. *Sigh

To make it nicer, I used heart shape cookie cutter to cut out "肉干" sweet pork jerky and cover it in the middle and slowly trim the top part of yolk and put next to sweet pork jerky. Next, add small heart nori surrounded the two hearts :) Lastly, cut out small heart shape for grapes and cucumber and secure with heart picks!

 I hope you will like my "Be Mine Valentine" froggies bento for my hubby!! Have a great day and enjoy ^_^ Cheers!
