Bento2015#Dec24~Line Christmas Bento

Ho ho ho....it's Christmas Eve! I made this Line X-mas Bento quite some times but only today I share at my Instagram & Blog ^_^ I made Line Brown as reindeer and Line Cony wears Santa hat. 

A close up Line Brown rice ball that I mix with dark sweet sauce and rice. Red part is crabstick and the green part for reindeer is broccoli stem. 

Line Cony is easy to make but just the nori details that need to take some times to cut out. I freehand scissor cut out the nori details and just add onto the rice ball. Crabstick for the Santa hat and I support with rice behind.

For side dishes have some grapes and chicken katsu with some mayonnaise on top.

I also add a Christmas tree made of broccoli in between the Line Brown and Cony for them to decorate the tree ^_^ I wish you and your family will enjoy this Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!

A closer look of my Gudetama Bento foodart. I trim out egg sheet for Gudetama shape using penknife. Freehand scissor cut out nori details too and simply put on top of the rice. Lastly, I add a Christmas tree pick and "Merry Christmas" pick ^_^

For side dishes have meat patties (mayonnaise on top), broccoli, snowflakes (white eggsheet) and some grapes.

Bento2015#Dec02~My Melody Snowman

Christmas Theme bento continue and this round I got inspired by talented mother of two girls from Japan @Naocoisa Instagram or SnapDish her recent "My Melody Snowman" bento. Check out her Instagram account or SnapDish account for all of her amazing bentos and perhaps you might already followed her ^_^ 

Here's the close up My Melody Snowman. Underneath is stir-fried spinach with garlic and put My Melody on top. Crabstick for the scarf and snowflakes. I was in a hurry so just grab one of the eye pick (back view) from "BentoUSA" for My Melody hand since I need white color :D

Bento2014#Dec22~Domokun Xmas

Countdown 3 more days to go and we're going to attend Christmas Vigil Mass on Christmas Eve. My kids can't wait to open their Christmas presents and I made Domo-kun stand-by and waiting.....hahaha....my final Christmas bento for this year 2014.

Here's the close up Snowman made from mashed potato (I mashed the cooked potato with fork and mixed with parmesan cheese powder/dash of salt) Punch out nori details and scissor cut out the hands. Crabstick for nose and scarf.

As for Domokun made from pan-fried potato with breadcrumbs. I shaped the mashed potato as Domokun before I start to pan-fried with breadcrumbs. I prefer less oil so I don't go for deep fried the potatoes :p After done, I just add crabstick for Domo mouth/hat and nori for eyes.
