Bento#17~Sibling Bears

Bought red capsicum so I'm going to make bears! Just add the eggs and pan-fried. Before the egg cooked, I add in small sausage in the middle as bear nose. I didn't turn over the capsicum, I just put cover & turn off the heat after I saw the egg almost done. Underneath the capsicums are butter sandwiches. To add in the bears eyes, I cut some nori & stick to the cheese. For female bear will have eyelashes :p  The balance eggs can make some eggsheet. So I took the eggsheet rolled the crabmeat to make it like an apple :D Lastly, put a box of raisins & some kiwi fruits.
This is the close up picture of the bears ^_^

Bento#16~Man-tou馒头Hello Kitty

Simple lunch for my girl ~Man-tou馒头~ Since is white so I make it as Kitty White ^_^ Inside the man-tou fills with tuna floss & decorate with nori/seaweed & crabmeat as well the cheese for the nose. I also cut checker apple while steaming the man-tou. Managed to took few pictures of the step by step with unprofessional quality :D Was still dark in this morning and my kitchen light wasn't bright enough to take a better pictures :p Okay, lastly, filled up some sausages, fishall (decorate as Kitty White too) crabmeat roll & Edamame.
Here is the step by step for the checker apple:-

Picture (4) : Slices the checker lines but the picture can't see clearly
I did soaked in salt water so the apple colour won't change easily.

Bento#15~Snoopy & chicks


Hello to Snoopy & chicks ^_^ My kids loved whole wheat bread so I prepared tuna sandwich. Freehand cut out Snoopy from cheese & add nori/seaweed for the details. As for the chicks, I used oval shape cutter to cut out from the cheese. Next I filled up the cucumber as grass & make a flower ball too. I did took a picture of it, although nothing special but just to show you all how I did :P Pretty simple step ya :D Lastly, add the watermelons with some cute chicks picks, haw flake & some raisin inside the chicks container. Hope you all like this bento ^^

Bento#14~Halloween Theme

Yay...I felt so happy that my son allowed me to decorate his bento for halloween theme. Usually, he doesn't want any design for his bento. But he did said to me: "Mummy, make sure is not cute or girl type" hahaha...after done his bento & I showed it to him. He said to me: Very nice mummy! Especially the pumpkin ^_^ Let's see what I make...

 First, I steamed the man-tou & sweet potato. Once done, I mashed the sweet potato, add some butter & rolled into ball shape. Cut some nori/seaweed to add in the details like pumpkin spooky face. The green part of the pumpkin was cucumber. Next, I add cheese/cucumber/tuna (coz my son likes tuna) to the man-tou. You can add any fillings up to your children taste. The spooky ghost can draw out if you want then just follow the line & cut but I want to finished both bentos so usually I like freehand cut the seaweed :p I cut out the ghost & bats as well the "BOO" words ^^Finished with watermelon & prunes. As for my girl bento was similar ingredients, except the ghost, I cut flying broom witch. Hmm...wasn't nice coz freehand cut the seaweed looks a bit weird :p So here is it....
So which halloween bentos will your kids prefer or like?? Wish everyone an early Halloween Day!! Who knows, I might have some ideas to create more halloween theme bento ^_^

Bento#12~Halloween Hello Kitty

This is my second design of "Halloween" theme. My girl likes Hello Kitty so I'm going to make another cute design for her. First I make sandwich & on top of the sandwich I add BBQ cheese to make it like dawn scenery then nori for the bottom part as dark view with haunted house. I cut nori for bats, spider & the haunted. As for hello kitty costume, I prepare egg sheets (yolk, white & brown colour was white mixed with dark soy sauce) Finished with some watermelon & haw flake. The pumpkin was BBQ cheese using toothpick to trim out. Happy Halloween soon....
