Bento#Nov13~Anicoco Bento (II)

Opps....I made Anicoco Cat again ^_^ Just find it too cute to be eaten and my daughter loves it so much! When I'm away for my Bangkok trip, she used my hubby's iPhone to KakaoTalk with me. She will choose this Anicoco Cat emoticon to expressed her feelings or expression :D 
I have leftover ginger garlic chicken for last night dinner dish so I just heat up for today's lunch. As I need more time for the Anicoco cat outlines details ^_^ Stir-fried spinach and sprinkle with sesame seed. Crab stick as flower and carve apple leave. I cut green apple and red apple for better results! Pretty cool right? Hehe....
Closer look of my Anicoco Cat :p I shape the cat with cling wrap and make sure you pressed it well so that you can get a firm solid onigiri :) All the nori details as usual freehand scissor cut out and add red food gel for some pink touched! There are so many emoticon cute design and I think I'll slowly choose one by one for my Anicoco series ^_^ What do you think? I think I'll try few more design due to the cuteness of this emoticon!!
Anicoco cat seems waiting for cuddle so I'm sure my daughter see her lunch bento will love it ^_^ The cat food picks and ribbon picks for the chicken & spinach so it won't look so plain. Well, I hope you will like my today's post and wish you all have a great day!

Bento#Nov12~My Melody Wheat Wrap

Kids requested to have a simple lunch on every Tuesday. The only simple one will be making sandwiches but I saw some wheat wrap from supermarket so thought of give it a try. This is my first attempt to use the wheat wrap instead of roll with bread ^_^ I wrap with turkey ham, lettuce, capsicums (yellow & red) and mayonnaise. Then roll and wrap them to aluminium foil for oven toast 4 to 5 minutes. After toast, I removed the foil wrappers and wrap with My Melody foil ^_^

Here is the closer look of the wheat wraps ^_^ I made two wheat wraps for both of my children. In this My Melody bento box, one of toasted wheat wrap with "My Melody" aluminium foil and the other 2nd wheat wrap I slice into half. Arranged it and insert love picks on top then add My Melody baran sheet. 


For the 2nd tier of the My Melody bento box, I made boiled egg (cut into cube) mayonnaise with capsicums (yellow & red) and cucumber as salad. Carve apple leaf and checker apple for other side. Again I add cute My Melody baran sheet on top. I liked this bento box but only for small portion of food. You can see the whole bento box at the bottom of this post. I took some pictures!
   
I am so sorry for the over exposed photos due to early morning indoor photo takings in my kitchen. Even though I add extra lighting still cannot compare to natural outdoor sunlight =_=" Well, I hope you will like my simple lunch bento for today's post! Have a nice day to you all!


Here is the two tier My Melody lunch box. There is Hello Kitty design but I choose My Melody design during my previous Japan trips :p

Pretty simple designed for today's bento and you don't need a rice mould to made this cute cat! All you need is cling wrapper to shape the cat! The only tricky part was the nori details for the outlines :p I liked to freehand scissor cut so I'm sure most of you can do it!
Here is my son's bento lunch :) All the dishes were the same but simple design whenever I've the extra time. For his lunch box, I used Thermos bento box that he liked it so much! It comes with a Thermos warmer bag and a pair of chopstick. All I did was arranged neatly and the rice part, I add furikake for the corner and beautify with broccoli as flower and few carrots using small leaf cutter to cut.
Well, I hope you will like my today's post and wish all of you have a nice day! Cheers!
