Bento#May15~Winnie The Pooh Kyaraben

I wanted to try out making Pooh Sushi but it didn't turn out well so changed to Pooh Onigiri ^_^ The not nice Pooh Sushi goes to my son bento box. Haha....
I mixed the rice with mashed egg yolk and use Pooh cookie cutter mold to shaped as onigiri. As for the brown rice, I mixed with sweet dark sauce. Arranged the Pooh onigiri in the middle then add the sweet brown rice. Punch out nori using puncher for Pooh details. Lastly, I cut out some kamaboko using heart shape cutter.  
For sides, I cooked some chicken cutlet and tamagoyaki as flower. Broccoli, sweet peas, sausage and some apple slices.
Simple lunch Winnie the Pooh Kyaraben for my daughter's school lunchbox. I hope you will like it too! Cheers!

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*

She really missed her friends :) So for her tomorrow school snack, I saw this cute idea from Facebook bento group member ^_^ One of the wonderful mum made Rilakkuma Bento so I changed it to Hello Kitty Bento since my daughter like HK so much! 
Black HK was charcoal bread and White HK was wheat bread. Just used HK cookies cutter to cut out the breads and add all the details using bread instead of nori. The nose was cheese and I add some colored heart fondant as ribbon. Each bread spread some butter/jam.
