Bento #214 - Tuna Pocket Sammies

Do you know what is the biggest reward I got from bento blogging? It's ENCOURAGEMENT which I need it so much. From who the encouragement? From a gang of bento mamas. No matter how bad-looking is your bento, without stingy, they give you sweet words and you have no reason to stop bento-ing. THANKS BENTO MAMAS!! Thanks for your lovely comments, they do make move on.

Today bento, the protagonist is again the chuncky sausage, I wanted to turn it into a panda. Panda used to be one of my favourite character to fix as it is pretty easy. I so confidence with myself, therefore I fixed the panda without refering to anything (normally I will refer to food picks). Here is the result I got. I think I forgot how panda should look like, the panda end up looks like mice.... kekekekeke.... (~.~)

Bento # 213 - Mummy Rabbit and Her Two Kids

Always, there is discrepancy in what we imagine and what we get. I imagine the egg would be perfect to fixed as a bunny but it turns out odd. Maybe I am good in imagination.... kekekeke... Anyway, the failure will not cause me to give up, let me try to make a better one some day (^.^)

Bento #212 - How Much is That Doggies in the Box?

Yesterday's dance showcase left me completely exhausted, although I not suppose to as I am neither the organizer nor the instructor (o_O). As a "driver" could be quite tiring. The entire last week, I brought Isaac to his dancing studio many times after work, for costume trying then weekend busy sending him up and down for rehearsal. But glad and happy that the showcase ended successfully with lots of joy and fun.

Wanted to take one day "Bento Off" today. But since my MIL has all the mini red bean pau steamed, I just packed one for Isaac. I didn't decorate the pau, just fixed two little doggies from chunky sausage. Many bento mamas love this chunky sausage, so do I. Animal fixed using this fatty sausage turn out cute. Another good thing about this sausage is, it's not pre-packed, you can buy as little as you want as the promoter will weight and pack it on the spot upon request.

Bento #207 - Polar Bear and Friend

Seems like quite some time didn't fix Isaac a more refined bento, most of the time a quick one. Today I fixed a polar bear and its friend, brown bear. It's quite simply though, but at least it's more kawaii (^.*). I used the crown pick to hold the bears so that they don't move around when the bag swings.

Update: Added this to What’s For Lunch Wednesday, Week 10 fun.

Bento #205 - Sweet Candy

Hope everyone has a nice and relaxing weekend. Today I again packed something simple, still in Monday blur… I cut a slice of Japanese Light Cheese Cake into the bento box, cooked two sausages and decorate it into lovely candy then tied the two ends with red part of seapack. Fruit of the day is golden kiwi, it was cut into flower shape (my favorite shape) again.

Bento #196 - White Mouse and Sausage Mouse

I bought a triangular sandwich cutter recently, can't wait to give a try to see is the cutter as handy as my square sandwich cutter. Well, after a try, the answer is "YES", it's a good sandwich tool. In fact, I think it is better than the square cutter as everything (seal and cut) is only one press. The square cutter you have to seal the bread first, then use the outter square to cut it.

Probably you have no idea which type of sandwich cutter I am mentioning. No worry, very soon I will prepare egg sandwich for my boy, I will snap photos on how to use the two cutters so that you have clearer picture. Stay tune yeah!!

Back to bento today, triangular sandwich, what can I fix other then fox? Oh yes, why not a mouse? But only bread is too plain, so I fix a sausage mouse too.... No fruit today as I haven't restock my fridge. (~.~)

Bento #167 - 1st Anniversary Gift

Haha, don't get cheated by the title, today is not my 1st Wedding Anniversary (else I can't have a 6 yrs old boy) and likewise the gift is not from my hubby (^_^).

Yeap, today is my 1st Anniversary on Bento making. I didn't notice it until I wrote a post on the awards received from Rachel and Lia Chen last week. I have a sudden inspiration to know for how long I have been doing bento, then only I discovered it's a year in the twinkling of an eye!! Time flies without realizing!!!!


Compare those days bento, I think my bento skill do improve alot, but yet I still have lots of rooms to grow. I quite enjoy preparing light bento for my boy every morning. I am happy to see him bring back an empty bento box for me (~_~).

Nevertheless, to continue bento making really need support. I am thankful to all the bento mama for sharing thier awesome bento and useful tips. Another person I would like to thanks, my hubby, thanks for his support, therefore I can have this "weird" hobby continue for more than a year. Thanks him for dressing up Isaac while I am fixing bento. Thanks him for not complaining "self service".... kekeke
