Bento2015#Dec01~Frozen Olaf

Yay! It's month of December ^_^ 

Do you want to build a snowman? Hello! I'm Olaf :) Looks like Olaf can't wait for the upcoming Christmas Day to arrive. Let's build snowman and time to create some Christmas Theme bento. 

Sadly over here we can't enjoy to build snowman or experience winter =_=" So let's make Snowman Bento instead. I'm using Nude Food Movers lunch box and create Olaf head/body separated due to the square space. 

Olaf make of rice by shaping them using cling wrap. Freehand scissor cut out the nori details and toasted spaghetti for Olaf hands. Carrot for nose.

For side dishes have Sardin, broccoli stir-fried with shimeji mushrooms and some grapes.

I hope you will like this Frozen Olaf bento ^_^ 
 

Bento2015#Mar19~Frozen Elsa Bento

Let it go ♩ ♪ ♫ ♬ ♭ ♮ ♯ As promised I'll make Frozen Elsa and this is my first time making Elsa and pack into bento box ^_^ I did made Elsa before but that was just a foodart dinner plate. Click HERE to view if you've missed it! 
For those who have watch the Frozen Fever, Elsa was wearing a beautiful green gown but I still stick to her usual blue gown. 
 

Elsa face make of rice + ketchup then shape it using cling wrap. 
Elsa body make of rice + blue pea flower extract (boiled the blue pea flower with water)
Elsa hair make of egg sheet that I  freely penknife cut out.
Elsa face feature that I freehand scissor cut out nori for the eyes only, the rest use puncher
Snowflakes make of nori (puncher)
 

As for side dishes have broccoli, prawn, chicken nuggets, Korean strawberry and cherry.
 

I can't get good lighting or natural light from outdoor because all my bento was took indoor and early morning about 6.30am before send my kids to school. So far I will use additional light but the picture still don't turn out good quality =_=" If you wondering why don't I share tutorial for the making, sadly to said I don't have the time either to take pictures of it. Once woke up at 5.45am then start busy preparing my kids bento (Yes, I still pack lunch for my son).

Well, I'm sure you still able to learn many tutorial from other talented bento friends ^_^ I would love to share it once I have the time to make during the weekend. (Hopefully) Lol.

Bento2015#Feb05~Olaf Bento

Do you want to build a snowman? I'm excited to use this Olaf Bento lunch box bought it from my recent Japan Trip :) But I think my daughter will prefer Elsa instead of Olaf! Luckily after done photo shoots, my daughter said Olaf so cute and happy. I answered: Of course Olaf is happy because.....lots of carrots falling from the sky! Lol! 
 

Olaf made from quail eggs and nori for details. The nose, I use the carrots furikake. Sprinkle the furikake at the side  and select all the carrots drop from the sky! Look how happy is my Olaf! Hahaha.....
 

For side dishes have small chinese cabbage奶白菜, fishballs, meat patties coated with bread crumbs and some grapes.

Happy Thursday! 

Bento2014#Nov10~Hello! I'm OLAF

Do you want to build a snowman? It's been a while have not made Olaf ^_^ Inspired by one of my lovely friend at my FB page shared a link of Olaf crochet to me ~ Thank you Caitlin :) I know my crochet limited skill so don't think I able to make Olaf crochet :D Hahaha...so here I thought of made bento instead ^_^ Much easier for me! Lol!
 

Here's the close up Olaf Snowman ^_^ Shape the rice using cling wrap and finished off with nori details. Remember to have Olaf picture with you for freehand scissor cut out nori :D I prefer to follow the picture expression or by looking at my sketched (If I sketched). Nose made from carrot and I find it too short after taking pictures =_=" To made sure Olaf won't be separated, I insert toasted spaghetti :p
 

For side dishes at another container, I pan-fried fish fillets, broccoli, tamagoyaki, carrots and few slices of apples. Punch out snowflakes using puncher and add mayonnaise on top of the fish fillets ^_^ Bon-appetit!

Elsa Frozen Food Art

Today blog post I'm going to post my last night dinner food art for my daughter ^_^ I won't be posting or making bento for next week since is their school break. So I thought of making food art instead :) Yesterday I made Olaf bento lunch and dinner time, I surprised her the leading character for Frozen.....who else?? Elsa!! The most tough part was Elsa's hairstyle =_=" Am lucky that I don't have to make Elsa bento for her school lunch cause I think won't be able to finish on time :D

Here is the close up Elsa ^_^ Last night dinner I cooked chicken rice so Elsa's face/body made from chicken rice :p Her pretty blue gown was mixed with some blue pea flower juice. To made her hair, I just freely cut out the crabstick (white) using small knife and add nori for the details so it bring out nicely with tone! For Elsa face details also freehand scissor cut out by looking at the picture (luckily didn't look weird without trace on baking paper).

Simple dinner dishes: Stir fry veggies with shimeji mushroom, honey soy sauce drumettes (recipe from JustOneCookBook), corn potato carrot soup and cheese as snowflakes :) By the way, do you notice the special effect light that shine from the cheese snowflake near Elsa hand? Haha....photo was taken during evening hour so that light was from table light and it turned out pretty good right?

I hope you will like my cute Elsa Frozen version ^_^ Have a great coming weekend! Cheers!
