Bento2015#Sep22~Duffy Bento

Perhaps this bento you will see it as a bear bento but actually I'm making Disney Duffy Bear ^_^ Well, still look like a bear right? Haha...

Duffy brown rice make of chicken rice (overnight chicken rice from dinner) At first, I try to shape Duffy head as onigiri but fail....the rice is oily and seem that it won't stick together firmly =_=" After I remove the cling wrap and arrange it, the rice ball slowly loosen. Argh! So I need to change ideas. 

No time to waste so I just spread the chicken rice into the bento box and add white rice balls details to make Duffy face together with nori details.

For side dishes have minced pork, cheese balls and spinach.

I hope you like this simple Duffy Bento sharing ^_^ Happy Tuesday!

Pixar Inside Out Fear Foodart

Yesterday we enjoyed the movie a lot and think I'm "sadness" and emotional for the whole movie :D Overall I rated the movie 8 out of 10. Just certain part of the story I don't quite like it but is good for a laugh as well emotional part..... Anyway, here's my final "FEAR" character for Pixar Inside Out! I made this yesterday dinner foodart ^_^

Thank you so much for those of you have followed and reading my "Inside Out" creations. I do hope you like it! My kids school will reopen next Monday and I will back to my bento routine. Stay tune and finger-cross that I able to wake up when my alarm alert me =_=" Have a lovely weekend.

Pixar Inside Out Joy Foodart

Please bear with me as I still have one last character to make for Pixar Inside Out and the last one seems tricky for me to create =_=" Anyway, I choose "Joy" first since I've left over blue rice.

I reheated the blue rice (last night left over) and the blue colour not as dark as last night :( Honestly, I don't quite happy with my blue hair-do for Joy =_="
To make "Joy" face orange, I add little bit of orange furikake or you may use ketchup ^_^  I need to clear off my furikake packets before expired :D
Freehand scissor cut out nori details and the red lips made of apple skin :)
Egg sheet for yellow blouse and stars decorations.
 

Side dishes have broccoli, shimeji mushroom, gyoza, carrots and egg shaeet stars shaped.

I hope you like my 4th Inside Out creations and hopefully I can make the final character successful ^_^ 

Pixar Inside Out Sadness Foodart

I hope you won't get bored of my Pixar Inside Out foodarts ^_^ This round I made "Sadness" blue in colour and I've plenty of blue pea/butterfly pea flower that I stored at freezer so just nice to make it. 
  

Here's the closer look of my "sadness" character :( 
I cooked the rice together with some bluepea flower so that I can get blue rice :D While waiting for the rice to cooked, I freehand scissor cut out the nori details as well prepare the side dishes! When the rice is done, I use cling wrap to shape the head/body. Next add on the face nori details as well the hair. 
 

Side dishes have chicken nuggets, pea sprouts and mushroom soups ^_^

Hope you like my last night dinner foodart and one more day to watch "Inside Out" 

Pixar Inside Out Disgust Foodart

Continue making Pixar "Inside Out" emotion ^_^ This round I made my daughter's favourite among five of them "Disgust". She told me she likes her pretty and super long eyelashes :D This foodart was made for last night dinner and hopefully tonight I can make next character (*finger cross) Honestly speaking, I don't quite happy with "Disgust" eyes I made =_=" 

Here's the close up "Disgust" in green. I mixed rice with green furikake for face/body. Green pepper/capsicum so hair and eyes. I added nori for extra touched because I find it too plain and the eyes didn't stand out but still not pretty :( Perhaps I should use nori for the eyes instead of capsicum. Apple skin for red lips.
 

Side dishes have dark sweet sauce ginger drummets and stir-fried spinach ^_^

Hope you like my "Disgust" dinner foodart. So what's next I should make? Hmm.....

Pixar Inside Out Anger Foodart

To make Tigger, I mix the rice with tomato ketchup and start to shape. First, I make the white face then add the nose on top. Slowly add the orange rice on top to create Tigger. Freehand scissor cut out the black stripes and other details. 
After done Tigger face, I put the face first then add the body and arms. Next, fill up the holes with pea sprouts and other side dishes at the side.
