Bento#April21~Totoro Kyaraben

 It's time for me to post up my girl's school snack bento. I transform my homebaked banana coffee cake into TOTORO龙猫 ^_^ 
I used egg shape cutter mould to cut out banana coffee cake for Totoro. Used the same cutter to cut the cheese for body and used small circle cutter for eyes. Punch out nori and finished all the details. For Tototro's ears, I used cutter to cut out the cake corner part for darker touch! I also made few Little Totoro White using cheese and nori.
For another section, I added mini cupcakes (bought from bakery shop) and add Little Black dust balls on top and some grapes/cherry tomato. I hope you will like this simple cute Totoro Kyaraben ^_^ Cheers!


Bento#April20~Hello Kitty Kyaraben Lunch

It's Happy Sunday! I'm cooking lunch for my family and made a quick Hello Kitty Kyaraben lunch for my girl ^_^  In this HK bowl have stir-fried spinach with ham. Airfryer chicken wings and some grapes. 
I tried out the Airfryer to cooked chicken wings and the result was yummy ^_^ I just marinate the chicken wings with dark sweet sauce/sesame oil/soy sauce/little bit of corn flour/garlic (chopped it fine) dash of pepper for 30mins. If you have the time can marinate to 1 hour will be great! I set the Airfryer to 160°C for 8mins then flip over the wings and continue set to 180°C for another 4 mins.
For Kitty-Chan, I used HK rice mould to pressed out the face and finished up all the nori details using HK puncher too! The red bow I used cutter to cut out crabstick and the nose was cheese.
Poured a cup of Ribena juice for her and I hope you will like my girl simple Hello Kitty Kyaraben Lunch ^_^ Cheers!

Bento#April19~Mavis Dracula from Hotel Transylvania

 My kids loved to watch this movie "Hotel Transylvania" Do you all like it? It's a animated comedy movie. I just loved the Dracula dad character! So cute and funny but my girl prefers Mavis Dracula ^_^ So for today's dinner I thought of made Mavis Dracula!! 
Oh well, I don't quite like Mavis Dracula's body! Why? I actually didn't want to add but I find it too plain so just made another onigiri. Shape Mavis face with cling wrap then freehand cut out nori for her hair, eyes, nose and lips. 
For sides, I cooked lady's fingers with fishballs and scallop. Pan-fried salmon, tamagoyaki, some grapes and quail egg. Lastly, I punch out some bats and add on top of the dishes.
I hope you will like today's dinner kyaraben ^_^ Wish you all have a blessed weekend with your family! Cheers!

Bento#April17A~Hello Kitty Dango

 I remember Little Miss Onigiri from Shirley's blogspot did Pretty Hello Kitty Dango Kyaraben. Check out her amazing blog!! So I thought of making Hello Kitty Dango for my girl too! A different version using fishballs to make Dango :p 
First, I spread strawberry and chocolate on top of whole wheat bread then put inside the bento. Is two pieces whole wheat bread but I just spread the top coat. To made Hello Kitty Dango, just insert all three fishballs to Damgo pick and finished all the nori details! I used Hello Kitty puncher to punch out nori. The nose was egg sheet and balance egg sheet, I used Hello Kitty cutter to cut out faces and decorate at the sides. Insert red bow pick to secure :) 
 Honey cherry tomato and grapes at leaf pick and I boiled mini Tang Yuen to made small Hanami Dango :p I add some raisin inside Hello Kitty sauce container.
I hope you will like this simple Hello Kitty Dango for snack bento. Cheers!
