Bento2016#Apr15~Back to school bento

Phew....looks like I'm getting lazy to update my blog after my one week bento break due to my kids 2nd Term School Holidays ^_^ So let's see what I had made for this week.

Day 1: 11.04.16 (Mon)

On Monday, I made Line Brown vs Gudetama. Super quick and easy to made this bento lunch ^_^ Just filled up the rice first onto the bento box and covered up half section of Line Brown (chicken meat floss) and Gudetama (scramble eggs). For the face features simply add the nori and cheese for detailed. As for the other container, I prepared shrimp gyoza, pea sprouts and kiwi fruit.

Day 3: 13.04.16 (Wed)

  On Wednesday, I made Pompompurin & Macaroon Bento ^_^ Both Purin made of quail eggs. To made Pompompurin in yellow colored simply soak the quail egg at turmeric water (lukewarm water + little bit of turmeric powder) I soaked two quail eggs for yellow colored because I need the other one to trim out for Pompompurin ears :) As for Macaroon Purin just normal boiled quail eggs and add on nori for the detailed. Oh ya, Pompompurin's hat made of shimeji mushroom and insert toasted spaghetti. For side dishes have stir-fried beef minced meat, pea sprouts and watermelon in flower shaped.

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!

Bento2015#Sep09~Line Brown Bento

It's been quite some time I didn't make LINE emoticons :p Among "Brown", "Cony"& "Moon" I prefer to make BROWN.  What about you? Which character that you prefer the most? I marinated the chicken drummets overnight so that I can cook it next morning. All about "Brown" colour theme for my girl bento ^_^

A closer look of my Line Brown character. To make it brown, I add some sweet dark soy sauce into the rice and mix it. Next I use cling wrap to shape the head/body/ears. As for the white rice also press it until thinly to join with the brown head. Lastly, punch out some nori details and add-on. To avoid Brown body parts will loosen by the time reach school break, simply secure it with spaghetti.

As for smaller Brown is make of quail egg. After peel away the shell, rub against palm to make it round shape for Brown face. Slightly trim away the middle part to make it white circle. Just add-on the nori details and you got your smaller Brown as a plushy :D

For side dishes have honey with soy sauce chicken drummets, pea sprouts. 

I hope you like this simple Line Brown Bento. Have a lovely day!

Bento2014#Sep11~Line Cony ❤ Line Brown

Love in air..... I know Valentine's Day already over but I just want to make these two cute Line Emoticons. I followed the Line picture for face features and create a love string (charcoal soba too bad I don't have pink soba) to cling them together ^_^ I made Line Brown shy, face turn away from Line Cony :) While looking at my Line from my mobile phone, these two faces features looks perfect for my today's theme bento. 

Line Brown made from mashed potato mix with little bit of dark sweet sauce. Shape the mashed potato into Line Brown. The normal mashed potato will be the mouth, follow by the nori details.

Bento2014#May14~Line Moon Bento

Oh gosh....almost can't post any bento today if I'm failed =_=" I was overslept that didn't switch on the alarm clock (yesterday was a Public Holiday so I turned it "off"mode). When my hubby's mobile phone alarm buzz loudly (usually he wake up later than me) The first thing I asked him: Today is what day? Why your alarm buzz? Then I looked at the time.....oh no.......quickly jump out from bed...not even have the time to wash my face!!! Argh.....

Luckily I already know what I should make for today's bento but the point is a lot of freehand nori details.......oh no again =_=" I told myself....I can do it just matter of not enough photo taking time & I was hoping the photo don't blur!!! 

Look at my nori :( To me is a bit messy just to get it done I have a higher expectation when I have enough time will cut it neatly! Too bad....I can't scissor cut out nicely for the lashes....hands too shaking!!) Hahaha....was nervous about the time and my daughter keep on remind me the time :D 

First, I pan fried the gyoza & quickly boiled the broccoli, carrots & crabstick. Then reheat the rice. While waiting & checking....I quickly scissor cut out nori details. Shape the rice into three onigiri by using cling wrap. I put one furikake pack at her bento bag after all done.

My daughter so sweet and she quickly helped me arranged the photo taking sets! Phew...just took few shots then packed & go!! What a day!! I don't want to be overslept again....too rush!!!

Okay....sorry for letting you all reading all this! I hope you still like today's Line Moon Emoticons :) Happy Wednesday!
