Today's bento inspired by my talented friends Maysatch and 5AMBento Saw their cute Tuxedo Sam posts at Instagram that makes me want to try out too ^_^ If you've followed ME at Instagram, do check out their awesome creations that I've shared it today! Not just bento but they have lots of awesome crafted worked that I wished to have time making them.....hahaha....but second thought I don't think I've the skilled :D :D :D
Here's the close up of my Tuxedo Sam creation. One of the Sanrio penguin character. To made Tuxedo Sam blue, I mixed the rice with blue pea flower extracts (finally blooms, refer picture shared it after the post). Shape them into oval shape using cling wrap and add white tummy on top. Cheese, nori, crabstick for all details.
For side dishes have pan-fried prawn patties (cut into penguin shape using cutter) and watermelons.
Simple and cute Tuxedo Sam for today's lunch. Happy Tuesday!
Yay.... finally tried out making "Penguin Maki Sushi" but the the mouth..... Well, I did put the tamagoyaki properly but after I cut it....all mouth looked crooked =_=" Anyway, this is my first attempt making penguin ^_^ Luckily still can manage to post it!
Eyes : Konnyaku Yam cake roll with nori
Mouth : Tamagoyaki cut into half and each roll with nori (I made too big :p)
Penguin rice : White rice and black sesame mixed with rice.
*Sweet sauce packed separately at small sauce container
Stir-fried vegies with mushroom and prawns. Few slices of apples for dessert ^_^ The bento box have four penguins maki sushi and I add sweet pea for decoration. Well, I hope you will like this crooked mouth penguins :) Cheers!
Today I'm going to show you making cute bento snack when running out of lettuce or kids don't eat lettuce at all or perhaps want to make simple bento ^_^ As you can see, I made cute Penguins & Chicks in this bento box. Mostly using silicon food cups and barans.
A closer look of the kyaraben. To made the bread into balls, just trim away the bread corners/skin. Add your children favourite fillings and wrap it using cling wrap. The yellow bread was corn bread and the Penguins, I used wheat bread or if you have white bread would be better ^_^ To made it look like penguin, just scissor cut the nori for penguin head. I spread some honey and used the cling wrap to wrap again. Leave it for few second before removing the cling wrap. Next, arrange the silicon food cups and put the penguins/chicks inside the food cups. Punch the nori eyes and add kamaboko for mouth or you can use sausage/carrots etc. I secured the mouth with spaghetti strips (if your children too young to take away the spaghetti strips, just spread jam/mayo etc.)
Inside the chick container, I add some raisins. Some grapes and haw flakes.
I hope you will like this simple bento snack! Cheers!
Oh no....running out of ingredients for my kids lunch bento =_=" So today only "Man-tou馒头" for them :p My daughter finally can go back to school but still coughing. Thank you so much for those of you include prayers for my girl recovery ^_^
Simple cute piggy sausage, just add the ears on top and legs. Punch out nori for eyes and lips. Pink kamaboko for nose using cutter to cut.
Another cute piggy with different eyes expression also using puncher to punch the nori. I just spread some butter for "Man-tou馒头" Gosh....today must go to wet market!!!
Some edamame, crabrolls, strawberries and kamaboko (the top pink coat cut away for piggy nose) Haha...
Here is another cute penguins sausages design for my son but I didn't cut well :( Running out of time to made two design bentos as I need to finished within one hour =_='' Almost want to give up posting or taking pictures of the penguins...but my son asked me why didn't take his bento photos? I think he already get used to it ever since my daughter unwell, I made design bento for his lunchbox :D
The cheese penguin look more like chick but I don't have the time to change! I did took away the cheese but too plain so for those of you making bento surely can do better than me. I just need the extra TIME. Anyway after taking photo of his bento, my son eats the cheese and took away all the picks before packing! *Faint*
