Bento#June12~Red Riding Hood Kitty

Yesterday I saw two different Red Riding Hood Kitty bentos posted by Bento, Monsters & 5am Bento ^_^ I loved both of their designed and inspired me to made one for today's lunch bento! My morning bento always in a rush so this HK bento seem unfinished job =_=" I still want to designed my house but the main character theme MUST be done with all the nori details.....sigh....
A closer look of HK Red Riding Hood together with the bad wolf! Only HK head used oval shape cutter to cut out the cheese then the rest of the details were freehand penknife & scissor cut. Crabstick for the red and eggsheet for the yellow. Oh...the ribbon cut by cutter not freehand :p 
Airfried the Japanese Chicken Seaweed, steamed the broccoli, straw mushroom and cut the apple. Eggsheet and nori for the house and crabstick (white) for the road. Well, I almost want to give up on taking photos as I'm running out of time! Need to get myself changed for work and send them to school as my hb & I drive one car. 
Oh well....today's bento was challenging work under stress of time! Especially I'm a working mum.

Bento#June11~Mushroom Onigiri

Today's lunch bento "Mushroom Onigiri" ^_^ Most of my bento Hello Kitty as I know my girl won't get bored! Haha....so this mushroom onigiri was actually in my "To Do-lists" and finally here I attempt to made :D
To made mushroom onigiri, I mixed the rice with some furikake for top part and shape them with cling wrap. Made two small onigiri and combine with the top part together using cling wrap (avoid sticky) Next, I used face cutter to cut out kombu/boiled seaweed for the smiley face mushroom ^_^ Decorate some crabstcik on top using small circle cutter or you can used straw :) 
I cooked some meat with dark sweet sauce and filled inside the bento box then slowly decorate the rest as a garden theme to match "Mushroom Onigiri" :) The yellow sun made from quail egg yolk and I add sweet corn around it. Some oranges and sweet corn at the side compartment. I hope you will like this bento lunch ^_^ Cheers!

Bento#June10A~McDelivery Hello Kitty Witch

Yay.....I've collected McDelivery Hello Kitty Witch from my dear friend who worked in Singapore and already stayed there for many years! She was my Elementary Schoolmate and we both stayed in touch via Facebook!! Amazing right? More than 10 years and we both finally meet up!!! Gosh.... anyway, we had a great time chit-chat and wish to have MORE time!!
Normally for bento snack, I will do it in the evening cause morning always in a rush! I'm a working mum so time was very consuming! Sigh....
Well, I add butter roll bun and peanut butter sandwich into the bento box first. Next, I cut out HK face using HK cutter and punch out nori using puncher. As for HK body was freehand penknife cut out crabstick and scissor cut out nori. The broom made of inari and nori. Freehand cut out the witch hat and finished up all the nori details.
McDonald House made of crabstick and I can't add "McDonald" word on top so just freehand using toothpick to trim out the "M" =_=" For the bottom sandwich, freehand penknife cut out the boiled seaweed/kombu for night castle and spread some peanut for the ground based with some lettuce. Lastly, I add some grapes for her desserts ^_^ I hope you will like this bento snack! Cheers!

Bento#June09~Dorayaki Fork & Spoon

How's your weekend? I bought some frozen Dorayaki from our local shopping mall. It was a Doraemon Events going on and selling lots of Doraemon stuffs and photo takings! 
 We didn't went for the queue....it was really crowded so I just took few shots from the higher floor.
So here is the Dorayaki frozen packs. Just defrost at room temperature for 5 minutes and ready to eat ^_^ I bought the original flavour Red Bean and Strawberry Dorayaki.
I'm making a quick bento, just used fork & spoon cutter to cut out the cheese and decorate on top of Dorayaki. Punch out the nori with puncher and add some heart shape fondants for Male Fork & Female Spoon :) I add some different heart shape fondant for the spoon gown and freehand scissor cut eyelashes.
I hope you will like this simple and easy bento snack! Cheers!

Bento#June06A~Domo-kun Kyaraben

Today's weather was super HOT!!! So I have the idea of making umbrella or stay away from the heat ^_^ I bought some wholewheat bun, and decided to make egg mayo salad. One hard boiled egg and mashed then mixed with mayonnaise, cherry tomato and cucumber cut into tiny cubes. I filled in the egg salad into the wheat bun but you need to cut a hole and leave the top part for umbrella design.
I saw these squid analog just nice for Domokun designed ^_^ Freehand knife cut out the crabtick for mouth and sharp teeth. Lastly, punch out the nori for eyes using puncher. 
Honey cherry tomato hiding underneath the umbrella and the balance egg salad filled into the bunny silicon cup. Lastly, I did a leaf cucumber craving that I've learn from Japanese cooking you-tube. I hope you will like this Domo-kun Kyaraben snack ^_^ I can't wait for weekend....what about you? Cheers!
