Bento2015#Jun01~Honey Bee Bento

Yesterday had a wonderful tea session with my sister and of course not forgetting my little princess to tagged along. Wish that everyday could be like this.....relax, laughter, eats and enjoy! Looks like I'm day dreaming :D 
To start off with busy Monday, I make honey bee. Buzz buzz.... I still have half of the pumpkin so I steamed it and mix with overnight rice (reheat). Love the natural colours turn out but little bit sticky ^_^ 

After mixing with mashed pumpkin with rice, just shape it using cling wrap and I freehand scissor cut out nori details. 

As for side dishes contain fish fillet fingers and stir-fried cabbage with carrots and shimeji mushroom.

I hope you like today's sharing Honey Bee Bento. Have a lovely Monday ^_^

Bento2014#May15~Winnie the Pooh Bento

Today's bento I made a big pot of "hunny" for Winnie the Pooh ^_^ Honey bees buzz around and can't get in the pot! Haha....just thought of making up a story :p Instead of make Pooh bear, I came out this idea while doing my sketching....so Pooh bear ends up tiny :D

Here's Winnie the Pooh bread toast. Actually wanted to put one Pooh toast but second thought I added another one and look pretty nice :) Underneath Pooh bear, I put chicken and potato. Next to it just arrange the apple.

Pot of honey made from rice mix with dark sweet sauce then use cling wrap to shape. Cheese as honey and kombu for the "HUNNY" word and details. The white part is crabstick. Honey bees made from quail egg (soaked them with turmeric water) and nori for details. Next, I arrange some sweet pea for some green touch and pasta leaves as well.

Ta-da.... Winnie the Pooh's big pot of hunny!!! Hope you enjoy reading today's post and like it! Happy Thursday ^_^

Bento2014#Feb19~Mushroom TOTORO

It's My Neighbor Totoro theme again ^_^ I want to transform the whole mushroom into a character, so I did thought of making a bear but not cute enough :p End up I decided to made TOTORO!!! Again I missed out the whiskers & a leaf on top of the head =_="

First, I stir-fry the veggies together with capsicum, corn & mushroom. Next, I mixed the rice with furikake then pour into the bento box. Pressed evenly and I start to arrange the rest of the cooked ingredients. It is fun making like a food art bento box ^_^

Bento#Sept25~Pooh with honey bees

Bought some quail eggs so I thought of making honey bees! To match with the honey bees so I thought of Winnie the Pooh ^_^ This ideas seem quite famous and pretty much can see it from Pinterest or Bloggers. Sorry about the photo lighting due to indoor and my kitchen need extra lights to brighten up! I don't have time to adjust my light even though saw the reflection of my eggsheet =_=" Oh well, as long the looks like Winnie the Pooh will do ^_^ 

Yellow quail egg: Peel the hard boiled quail eggs then soak into water mixed with turmeric. I stirred it every 10 minutes.
Honey Bees: Cut nori strips and punch nori for the face features.
Spinach, carrot salad with white sesame recipe that I follow Hippomum's book.
Grapes, blueberry and sausage cut into heart shape .

What's inside the Pooh?? I reheat the leftover rice and mixed with furikake. Then cover it with eggsheet and freehand scissor cut out the nori for Pooh face features ^_^ Lastly, I add ketchup for Pooh cheeks as well as the honey bees cheeks!

This is for my son's lunch bento. I wanted to make another Pooh but he doesn't like it =_=" So I just add "BEST WISHES" for him and he likes puppy so I punch out puppy nori for the quail eggs ^_^ Well, I hope you will like today's bento post and hope to hear from you at the comments below or may be can just shared it! Thank you so much XOXO

Bento#Sept23~Honey Bee with Happy Flower Bento

~Honey Bees Bento~

Today's lunch bento theme will be Honey Bee with Happy Flower Bento ^_^ I cooked egg fried rice from leftover rice. And boiled the quail eggs for decoration as flower! This is quite a simple bento lunch, just need to arrange the food for this theme.

Honey bee head cut out from cheese using circle cutter and body freely cut out using toothpick. Punch out nori for the face and scissor cut out the strips for bee body. Cucumber as leaves. Sausages for flower petals and quail egg as flower. Below picture will be the closer look of the Happy Flower!

Happy Flower Bento for my son ^_^ Both bento have the same flowers but my girl gets huge Honey Bees! I'm glad that my 12th years old son allowed me to add the flower face features ^_^ But the bee picks & flower picks after photo takings he removed it  =_=" Oh well....as long he brings homecooked bento to school I'm happy with it!

I hope you will like both of my bentos ^_^ Happy Monday!! Cheers!
