Bento2015#Jun17~Disney TsumTsum

My second attempt making Disney Tsum Tsum again. This round I make three tsumtsum ^_^ Woohoo..... the natural colours turn out pretty good. What do you think? I know I'm going to use blue rice for Eeyore so one night before I cook my rice together with blue pea flower instead of next day morning mixing with blue pea extract. I find it blue pea flower cook together with the rice, the blue colour turns out nicely. So next morning I just reheat the blue rice without rushing time :) 

 

Here is the close up Eeyore in blue colour ^_^ Freehand scissor cut out nori details except the eyes, I use puncher. Eeyore onigiri inside have chicken floss. 

Winnie the Pooh onigiri also with chicken floss fillings and I mix the rice with egg yolk. Freehand scissor cut out nori details except the eyes I use puncher. Sweet corn for Pooh ears that I secure with spaghetti. Ketcup for cheeks!

Piglet onigiri no fillings because little bit small so I skip :D Pink colour is make of sakura denbu mix the rice.
 

Side dishes have milk pokchoi, oat fish fillet and some oranges.

Hope you like my Disney Tsum Tsum. Too bad I don't have piglet soft plushies =_=" Or else it will be a perfect sets!

Bento2014#Oct02~Piggies Family

Overnight chicken rice from last night so I reheat this morning to made today's Piggies Family theme bento ^_^ When my daughter saw it and she was asking me who are these two (quail eggs piggies)? Then she answered: Ah....they're my cousins!!! That's why they looked different ^_^ hahaha....she's so cute and I didn't think of that by just making as many as possible to fit in the lunchbox :D 

Here is the closer look of the Piggies Family ^_^ Shape two big onigiri and followed by two small onigiri. The pink colour is made from kamaboko and I just add different nori expression for each piggies except one of the piggy was showing off the butt :p Since there is still room for another two piggies so I add the quail eggs together to join in the family!!

For side dishes contains gyoza, potato wedges and mini grapes.

Oink-oink....hope you like this lovely piggies family ^_^ Have a blessed Thursday! And next week Monday will be a Public Holiday over here so mummy won't be making any bento! 

Bento2014#Sep02~Piggy & Beary Bento

Oh gosh....yesterday was a Public Holiday for us and today I almost overslept =_=" Simple piggy & beary onigiri for today's lunch bento and to make it look smart, I add spectacle as decoration ^_^ Bought the spectacle from 100 yens shop. Isn't cute?

To make piggy, I add some green seaweed powder (bought it from organic shop) to mix the rice & some seasoning. Shape one big rice ball for the bottom and shape smaller seaweed rice ball for piggy. Add edamame for ears, nori and cheese. Fill up the holes with inari after arrange the piggy & beary :)

Same method with piggy for beary. Repeat the methods and I just add the spectacle differently.

Side dishes: spinach, gyoza and cut checker apple.

Mantou anyone?? Piggy & Hello Kitty

It's Saturday and why I'm here writing on weekend? Well, just have the "good" mood doing some baking :p Yes, I'm the kind of follow my mood swing on baking...haha....so today I made simple piggy mantou and hello kitty mantou. My very 1st attempt making character design and still need lots of practice to make it better ^_^ Really admire those who can baked and cooked!

 Bought this recipe book quite some time but didn't make the effort of making it =_=" Love to flipped the pages but lack of motivation of doing it compare making bento :D

Here is my Piggy Mantou. The recipe book that I followed was supposely in pink colours for the nose and ears but I don't have the ingredients. So I did some changes by mixing cooked pumpkin for the orange colour.

I tried out making Hello Kitty Mantou as well and didn't turn out pretty :p Well, as long my kids love it and enjoy making together means a whole world to me ^_^ The whiskers I add chocolate rice before steam it and it melts nicely (surprised me) Eye balls were black candy (bought from bakery shop)

Ta-da....end of hard work for today!! Haha....not sure when will I gain back the "good" mood on baking :) Happy Weekend to all!

I think he already get used to it ever since my daughter unwell, I made design bento for his lunchbox :D

The cheese penguin look more like chick but I don't have the time to change! I did took away the cheese but too plain so for those of you making bento surely can do better than me. I just need the extra TIME. Anyway after taking photo of his bento, my son eats the cheese and took away all the picks before packing! *Faint*
