Bento2015#Mar10~Hello Kitty Pancake

I always want to try out making design pancake after saw some talented friends at my Instagram. If you have instagram or FB do check out "Bellchan_cooking_bento" awesome creations! I add the FB link HERE ^_^ 
Since is Tuesday with less foods so I decided to have making pancakes but what an ugly Hello Kitty =_=" Gosh..... I make four pieces but end up only one presentable :p  I think the strawberry Kitty-chan much more prettier! Hahaha...

So long have not make this strawberry Hello Kitty with apple inside. If you have the semi-circle curve tools can easily scoop out the apple and strawberry. Just remove the strawberry then add the apple. Very easy! Lastly add in nori for the details.

As for Hello Kitty pancake, I'm sure some of you can see some tutorial from youtube how make. Just add some of the pancake mixture with cocoa powder. I pour the brown mixture to a sauce bottle so that I can draw out the design. Sorry that I don't have time to do the picture tutorial because all of my bento lunch did it early morning with limited time. No camera man to help me hahaha 

Anyway, I put some kaya jam at the sauce container for her to spread pancakes. Have a lovely day!

Bento2015#Mar09~Tweety Bird Bento

My kids love scramble eggs so I thought of any characters that is yellow in colour? Hmm.... I have few in mind but I choose Tweety Bird ^_^ I hope you will like this idea too! Is pretty easy to make and you don't need any tools....hahaha.... 
 

Here is the closer look of  my Tweety Bird ^_^ Freehand scissor cut out nori the details and I add ketchup for the mouth and legs. Sprinkle some sesame seeds at side to let my tweety bird stand out.
 

For side dishes have stir-fried chicken with mushroom, broccoli, grapes and Korean strawberry. Hope you like it!

Bear Buns recipe from Hippomum

I hardly have the mood to bake bread =_=" But today while go through Hippomum's recipe book I saw this simple bread recipes so I decided to give a try :) Luckily I have all the ingredients at home so start kneading..... haha.... I didn't know that to make a dough need so much time :p  So many steps to go until I stressed out of my dough will fail or didn't rise double of the size!  The recipe comes with step by step (in Chinese words) pictures so is easy to follow :)

Well,  at least I've tried and perhaps will wait for another good mood to do the 2nd attempt. Lol!
  

If you have Hippomum's 2nd recipe book can easily spot the page of a bear burger. So here is my simple Bear Bun, just to make it pretty due to my bread not as smooth as Hippomum ^_^ 

Simple add cheese/nori/sausage/ketchup for the bear details. As for the pink bow is actually Hello Kitty soft candy.
 

To view the 2nd recipe by Hippomum just click HERE to visit her blog. I hope you will like today's sharing. Happy Weekend!

Bento2015#Mar05~Moomin Bento

This is my first attempt of making Moomin Characters ^_^ I know my daughter will prefer female Moomin or girlfriend? So I google search the images and make one for her lunch. Instead of Mama Moomin I make Snorkmaiden instead ^_^ Is Moomin's fair lady friend. Part of it, I want to match my newly bought Moomin fork during my Japan trip :) Will try to make "Little My" too! One of my to-do lists! Finger-cross*
 

Here is the close up Snorkmaiden, Moomin's fair lady friend and I miss putting her golden hair after I add the red bibbon =_=" Suppose to add in after the pick but I continue adding the ketchup for cheeks and necklace. Oh well, at least I didn't miss her eyelashes! Hahaha...
Snorkmaiden make of chicken ham and nori for details.
As for the rice is not fried rice. I just mix the rice with furikake for flavour.
 

For side dishes have fishballs, pea sprouts, grapes and Korean strawberry.

Hope you like today's post and have a happy Thursday!
 

Bento2015#Mar04~Rilakkuma & Kiiroitori Bento

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!

Bento2015#Mar03~Hinamatsuri雛祭りBento

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!

Bento2015#March02~Hello Kitty Wrapper Bento
