Bento2015#Oct29~Korilakkuma & Kiiroitori Ghost Bento

Halloween just around the corner.... are you ready? Although I don't celebrate it but my kids school will have the Halloween Costume competition every year ^_^ This year my daughter won't be participate for the costume so I shall make Halloween Theme bento :D 
I made Hello Kitty Ghost before so this round I make Korilakkuma & Kiiroitori instead. What do you think? 

A closer look at the Korilakkuma in white and Kiiroitori as usual in yellow ^_^ As you can see Korilakkuma ears make of hard boiled egg white, I add punch out nori skull. To make Kiiroitori yellow, I mix the rice with hard boiled egg yolk (half), carrot for beak and nori details. Fill up the rest with spinach and I add cherry tomato for the Happy Halloween pick!

Reheat the overnight chicken curry from last night dinner and I add on to the thermos lunch box. 

By the way, I'm so excited and appreciate with lots of love to all who have been supportive in my Instagram account ^_^ I noticed that I have hit 10K followers at my IG!! Hugs & kisses to you all xoxo I'll continue update my blog and FB page although I don't get a lot of followers there :D Gambateh!!!

Bento2015#Oct19~Halloween Pumpkin Deco Sushi

Simple deco sushi for lunch ^_^ I make these pumpkin deco sushi for my daughter's Halloween theme bento lunch. It looks easy from the Japanese sushi book tutorial but when comes to hands-on =_=" Anyway, I don't have the fishcake for the mouth so I use Japanese cucumber instead :) Still look good right? 

To make the rice orange in colour, I mix the rice with furikake or you may use ketchup :) Japanese cucumber for the eyes/nose/mouth. Wrap the cucumber with nori then only arrange to make into pumpkin.

For side dishes have potato cheese croquette, broccoli and chikuwa. Freehand scissor cut out the nori to make a bat and put on top of the cheese. 

I hope you like this simple Pumpkin Deco Sushi. 

Halloween Hello Kitty Pumpkin Foodart

This week will stayed at home with my kids due to their one week school mid term break but will drop by when office need me ^_^ I'm so lucky working with my dad if not I won't be able to take so many days leave =_="
Yesterday we had our lunch outside so today I just cook simple dishes to fill up their tummy :D I noticed have some orange sweet potatoes so why not steamed it and make some foodart. The balance mashed potatoes can make into deco steamed buns! Hope I'm not lazy later after update today's blog. Lol!
 

Here's the close up Hello Kitty on pumpkin made of mashed sweet potatoes. Freehand scissor cut out nori details for the black hat, black ribbon with bat and face features. Cheese to support the nori and Kitty-chan nose. Divide into three to make the pumpkin and add nori face details ^_^
 

Side dishes have pan-fried potato wedges, chicken star nuggets, baby cabbage with squids and lastly I add one packet of furikake to cover up the white background plate.

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.

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.
