Simple lunch for today :) I make Rilakkuma & Kiiroitori to match my lunch box :D I didn't use any rice mould to shape Rilakkuma. All you have to do is shape the bear using cling wraps. Honestly I prefer cling wrap compare to rice mould when you're not rushing time. But using rice mould will help you save up time. Well, just do whichever you like ^_^
Here the closer look of Rilakkuma. To make brown rice, I add little bit of dark sweet sauce to the rice and shape the head, ears and hands. For the white part, I cut out hard boiled egg (white) and add in the nori details. I take some of the egg yolk to add on top of the ears then press together using cling wrap.
For side dishes have stir-fried fresh button mushroom with chicken. I also pack some grapes and another small container (not shown). Kiiroitori make from hard boiled egg and add nori details. Cut out some cucumber leaf and apple leaf as well to brighten up the lunch box!
I hope you like today's simple lunch post. Have a nice day!
3rd March is Hinamatsuri 雛祭り or Girl's Day/Doll's Day ^_^ This will be my first Hinamatsuri bento for this year so I made Hello Kitty again for last night dinner using Kokeshi Bento box from Bento&Co that I bought few years ago.
Meet Hello Kitty Empress made from onigiri. After shaping, I spread sakura denbu for pink touch and egg as fan and nose. Cut out nori for all details. Instead of red bow, I punch out nori sakura using puncher.
Here's the close up Dear Daniel Emperor holding ritual baton made of egg. Add in all nori details!
For side dishes have broccoli, prawn, tamagoyaki and sweet corn & dried scallop soup. (I just use dishes that I homecooked for my family dinner to made Hinamatsuri Bento) Today's post not for my daughter's lunch but her dinner bento instead ^_^ Hope you like it!
Finally open ceremony newly bought Hello Kitty wrappers during my Japan Trips :p It comes pretty handy when you're still in Monday blues..... hahaha.... I just shape onigiri (rice balls with meat floss) and wrap it! Please continue reading to view the packets after the post ^_^
For side dishes, I use air-fryer for the chicken nuggets. Pea sprouts and fishcakes as well some tamagoyaki.

This is my first attempt making Daruma Doll ^_^ I make a mini Hello Kitty Daruma since my thermos lunch box small. Will try to make again for a bigger Daruma version :D In the meantime, hope you enjoy today's post!

My daughter likes this Sanrio Bonbon Ribbon soft plush that I bought from Japan Tokyo. Bonbonribbon is a pink rabbit with a pink ribbon bow on her head and some other parts of the body. I didn't know Sanrio have so many kawaii characters until I shop around in Japan spotted so many soft plush ^_^ As per request from my girl, I decided to make one with CNY theme bento for her.
Here is the closer look of Bonbonribbon. To make the rice pink, I add sakura denbu mix with rice and shape it using cling wrap. Punch out nori for the details and freehand scissor cut nori lashes for the eyes! Ribbons make from crabstick that I use cutter to cut and secure it with spaghetti.
For side dishes have pea sprouts, prawn, pandan chicken wrap, fish finger with oat and cherry. I also carve out apple for the year of goat/sheep chinese word "羊" Have a blessed day!
Simple tomato fried rice for today's lunch bento ^_^ As usual less food on every Tuesday =_=" To make my daughter's bento cute, I add Totoro and Chibi make out of mashed potato.
Here's the close up Totoro & Chibi ^_^ To make Totoro simply add some black sesame powder to mix with mashed potato. Add on the nori details! Easy right?
I hope you like today's Totoro & Chibi Bento post! Add on homebaked Hello Kitty pineapple tarts and some mandarin oranges for her desserts ^_^ Have a lovely Tuesday!
Back to school but kids still in their CNY moods :D I spend too much time on making the egg sheets (black/red/yellow) The black eggsheet didn't turn out well so I use nori ^_^ The side dishes just add on to cover up the holes and I'm totally run out time to do it better! Sigh! So quickly take few photo shot.
Here's the close up Little Girl playing sparkling stick that my kids like it! Suppose to make fire crackers (as per angpow picture) but no time to do. Sigh again...... Well, mix rice with tomato ketchup for the girl and the red/yellow part make from egg sheet (little bit of red food gel for red eggsheet) The flower on the girl is crabstick. Hair make from inari. Freehand scissor cut out nori for the face details. Toast the spaghetti for the stick.
For side dishes have panda chicken, tofu fishcake and broccoli.
