Totoro & Chibi Lunch

Today's lunch at home due to my darling daughter not well :( Her left eye was swollen red and doctor gave her two days medical certificate to stay at home. To cheer her up, I cooked soba noodles and made Totoro ^_^ Little Totoro Chibi made from fishball rest on top of Totoro. Opps..... I forgot to pour the sauce for photo takings =_="

Side dishes: Tamagoyaki cut into heart shapes, pea sprouts, oranges. Simple dishes :p


Hope my girl will get well soon. Tomorrow I can't update my blog post so guess I will take a short break cause tomorrow I need to attend a full day course training for my work.

Bento2014#Jun02~Duffy The Disney Bear

Honestly speaking, I don't know who's Duffy until my sister told me & she's loved Duffy & ShellieMay The Disney Bear and even had collections of them when she visited Disney Japan ^_^ She kindly lend it to me some of her cute stuffs for me to take pictures together with my bento. So sweet of her and I'm lucky! After making Duffy Bear and I started to like it too :p Opps....influence by her haha....I'll try to make ShellieMay The Disney Bear next round as I know my daughter will prefer the female bear ^_^

Here's the close up Duffy The Disney Bear :) I think the white part for Duffy's face I've shape too high =_=" Looks a bit weird :p Well, still cute right? The brown part of rice, I mix with dark sweet sauce and use cling wrap to shape it. Same goes to the body & legs. The Disney Mickey paw nori was punch out by Mickey puncher that I bought it during my Japan trips! Finally open ceremony for it! Haha...

Side dishes: Broccoli, gyoza, prawns, fishballs & slices of oranges.

Don't you think the Duffy plush keychain adorable? Way too cute than my bento ^_^ Happy Monday!

Apple Leaf Tutorial & Swan Apple

Today's post I'm going to show you how I cut the apple as leaf tutorial. I learned the tutorial from youtube and I'm sure some of you already know the methods. Well, I hope you like it by viewing the step by step pictures below.

Step 1: One red apple & small knife

Step 2: Cut a small line, depending how big of the leaf you prefer.

Step 3: Cut the other side until can push up the small apple as petal.

Step 4: Continue the next line. If you prefer broader then just adjust the cut line gaps.

Step 5: Repeat the same step until can push up the 2nd petals.

Step 6: Keep moving along the lines until how big is the leaf you prefer.

Step 7: Here's the finished apple leaf looked like ^_^

After done cutting the apple leaf, I thought of continue making a Swan Apple carving that I saw from youtube. My first attempt to try out & it didn't turn out well for the swan head as I find it difficult but hope you like it ^_^

Need more practice!!! Hahaha....

Well, hope you enjoy reading my today's tutorial ^_^ Have a nice day!
