Bento2014#Sep04~My Neighbor Totoro

Last night dinner still have leftover cooked meat patties so today's lunch bento I just transform the meat patty into Totoro character ^_^ After done I almost forgot to add Totoro whiskers =_=" So last minute add on the soba noodles without toast (suppose to use spaghetti to toast) Oh well....at least the Totoro look perfect with whiskers!

Here is the closer look of My Neighbor Totoro ^_^ Underneath Totoro is egg yolk mixed with rice then arrange the pea sprout at the bottom. Lastly add the meat patty Totoro on top together with Totoro Chibi made of hard boiled egg (freehand penknife cut out the shape). Add on cheese, nori for all the details. Crabstick (red part) for background to look more lively!

Side dishes: sweet corn, gyoza and mini mandarin orange. I also made one Makkuro Kurosuke (also call as black soots or dust bunnies)

Hope you will today's theme ^_^ Happy Thursday!

Bento2014#Sep03~Tiger Bento

Roar.......here comes the tame Tiger Bento ^_^ Inspired by the kamaboko tiger that I've bought it at Aeon Shopping Mall. So excited to spot two types of animals kamaboko and wish that they will restock in future. If possible more animals choices for me to buy (haha....I'm greedy). 

To made tiger yellow, just add half of the egg yolk (from hard boiled egg) to mix the rice since my tiger is small :) The egg white for tiger white parts and nori for black stripes as well all the details. Toasted spaghetti for whiskers! Arrange the head and body first then follow by broccoli. Last minute decided to add some chicken floss to fill up the holes ^_^ 

Side dishes: Airfry chicken drumette, tiger kamaboko, quail egg underneath the mini grapes.

Simple tiger bento pack in Monbento lunchbox. Bon-appetit!

Bento2014#Sep02~Piggy & Beary Bento

Oh gosh....yesterday was a Public Holiday for us and today I almost overslept =_=" Simple piggy & beary onigiri for today's lunch bento and to make it look smart, I add spectacle as decoration ^_^ Bought the spectacle from 100 yens shop. Isn't cute?

To make piggy, I add some green seaweed powder (bought it from organic shop) to mix the rice & some seasoning. Shape one big rice ball for the bottom and shape smaller seaweed rice ball for piggy. Add edamame for ears, nori and cheese. Fill up the holes with inari after arrange the piggy & beary :)

Same method with piggy for beary. Repeat the methods and I just add the spectacle differently.

Side dishes: spinach, gyoza and cut checker apple.

I hope you will like today's post bento. Happy Tuesday!

BRAVE Dinner Foodart

Finally I made BRAVE!!! It's been on my list-to-do ever since I saw it from dear talented Samantha Lee. I love the way she used pasta for hair but since I still have some left over organic red yeast ramen, why not I use it as BRAVE hair ^_^ I cooked all the left over ramen for tonight's dinner and took some portion out to made into foodart. 

Here is the closer look of BRAVE. Shape one round onigiri for face and another triangle onigiri for body. Then I cover the body with veggies as her dress. Arrange the organic red yeast ramen as hair and finish up with nori details. The arrow made of toasted spaghetti and cheese for arrow.

Simple dinner plate with some eggs, fish floss, parsley on top. Cut out cheese for BRAVE words using letter cutters.

Hope you like today's dinner foodart and wish all of you happy weekends.

Non-stop Hello Kitty theme bento this week!!! Looks like after my visit to Bangkok Hello Kitty House Cafe still made me think about Hello Kitty :D Whenever I started to do my sketches.....still prefer to design Kitty-chan!! hahaha Better think about other design next week!!!
