Bento #208 - An Awkward Pingu



It's my first time wrapping up quail egg with nori, thought it would be perfect to make it like Pingu. But this Pingu really disappoint me, the ugliest Pingu I have ever seen (v_v).

Thank god it's Friday, my schedule for this weekend is packed, hopefully I don't get exhausted on Monday (^.^) HAVE A NICE & RELAXING WEEKEND EVERYONE!

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 #180 - It's Spring ...



Spring is a busy season for bees, they are busy collecting nectar and then make them into honey. Today I sent two bees to assist thier gang in completing the task. But bad me, I forgot to put thier wings on!! Previous Bee Bento, I didn't realize the bees have no wing until Isaac asked me after back from school. Therefore this time I reminded myself not to forget the little wing. Hmm.... I am getting older... signnnnn..........


Postscript: Hapabento's May B.O.M.B Contest is flower. I think this bento is qualified to enter, I will summit it, it's my first time participating this type of contest... (^.^)

Bento #177 - Doraemon (ドラえもん)



Isaac's kindy will on and off have special theme on Friday. On that day, children have to wear according to the theme. Today is a Rainbow Day, kids are requested to wear colourful shirt to school. Isaac chose a long sleeve shirt with colourful stripes and said to me the shirt is just nice for the theme (^0^).....

In fact, I should fix him something a colourful bento, or maybe a rainbow bento to match the theme. But I only have this idea in mind after having the Doraemon fixed. I have to bear in mind, next theme, I should fix something related to promote the theme and make the day more special... hehehe

Bento #138 - Sesame Street の Bert

Three weeks ago, I fixed a bento which looked like Bert but not Bert. I am not satisfied with it, thus fixed another Bert bento today. I think it looks very much like Bert this time (@.^).

I prepared two Bert, one is from bread and the other one from quail egg. I also packed half golden kiwi into the bento box. I wanted to fix an Elmo for Isaac too, but I worry that he can't finish it. To avoid food waste, I keep the idea for next time.

Bento #135 - Egg Sheet vs Scramble Egg

I wanted to pan fry an egg sheet with pictures in it. I cut some bears from ham and pan fried them. I added egg mixture into the pan when the ham was half cooked. When I tried to turn over the egg sheet, ops... it stuck to the pan. I tried and tried, end up, it became scramble egg (@_T).... Aii, maybe I need to put more oil next time. Anyway, good try... kekekekeeeeee.

Bento #130 - Girl in Tiger Costume

Have to thanks shoppingmum for sharing her idea. She fixed two "Tiger Kids Bento" for her kids which is really nice and cute. I have the urge to fix one for Isaac, so better make it while I am still in the hot mood (n_n) .... If you realize, the tiger costume is fixed according to the pick next to the quail egg ....

Frosty the Snowman
Was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the Snowman
Is a fairytale they say
He was made of snow
But the children know
How he came to life one day
There must have been some magic
In that old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around




Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump

Look at Frosty go
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump

Over the hills of snow



Another X'mas bento. Yesterday shoppingmum fixed a Christmas tree bento for her kids. The bento is very nice and seems like not hard to fix. Thus, I decided to give a try. Instead of using Swiss roll, I used "bread roll" (roll artificial crab meat with seaweed and bread).

After setting up the bread rolls X'mas tree, I put a cocktail sausage as tree trunk. The two frosty snowmen, head is made of fishball whereas body is quail egg. I joined them with a long spaghetti strip. These hat picks are very suitable for snowman, but I only have four. The snowman looked much more winsome after putting on red scarf. I added snow flake on its body.

I also fixed two Santa Claus in each bento using cocktail sausage (mini sausage). But the sausages has deeper colour. The mustache is cut from light cheese. I wanted to make a hat for the santas, but I was running out of time this morning.

Lastly, I sprinkled the bento with some rainbow sprinkles. Teng teng teng teng....






~ Hohoho... Santa Claus is coming, with a bag of gifts ~

Bento #124 - Lotus Bun & Stitch Hard Boiled Egg

Ever since came back from Hong Kong, my bento is plain, plain & plain. Finally today I have a more presentable bento, it's much more compact and colourful. It would be even better with some fruits.

The kids still in sweet dream when I sent the bentos to my sis's house this morning. I gave them a call after that, my niece gave me sincere thanks and told me that she begruded to eat the cute stitch egg. Whenever one's hardwork is appreciated, he/she will be puffed up with pride and feel quite self-satisfied, so do I (^_^). I just can't wait to fix another bento for them.




Still remember the Black Mouse Bento? I did the same thing to the stitch, which is put some ribena on it, that's why it is black (^_^). The pattern will be more prominent if it is dyed. Unfortunately I have only M size eggs, thus the face of stitch is not so striking.

I didn't forget to put some picks and barren on the bento. It really makes big different with suitable picks stick in and cute barren.

Bento #114 - Little Egg Vase

I have two big bags of left over bread at home, definately I alone cannot finish it but I am trying very hard to eat as much as I can. It's going to expire after 13 Nov, instead of send it to dusbin, I plan to feed the fishes in Bukit Jalil Park.


Because of the left over bread, I didn't buy any bread to make bento for Isaac, it will increase my burden.. (@_@).. kekekeke... What I have in stock is only eggs. I decorated it as a vase, holding some Daisy (although the flowers didn't look like Daisy). The stalk I used spaghetti strip.

Bento #110 - Cheerful Bear vs. Depressive Bear

These bears are cut from banana cake. It has been a long long time I didn't eat banana cake, it used to be my favourite cake when I was a little kid. Yesterday all the sudden feel like eating it, so asked my brother to bought me a loaf of it from pasar malam.

Isaac loves banana, after having a slice of it at night, he asked for 2nd slice. But I didn't give him as he has put on weight after kakak came back from Indo. One loaf of banan cake, three of us finished it during breakfast... (*_*)

Bento #107 - Black Mouse

This morning I woke up at 5AM to prepare 90 pieces of chicken floss sandwich for my niece & nephew's Children Day. With help from my sis and her maid, we manage to get everything done on time (6:30AM). So I have plenty of time to pack bento for Isaac. I didn't pack a nice bento indeed, I spent the time to have some sandwich and a cup of hot white coffee. Meanwhile, I tried out this black mouse (~_~).

When I first started bento-ing, I saw few bento mama dye the eggs into brown, pink.... I also wanna give a try. I guess brown is because of soy sauce, but how about black? Kekeke.... this again not what I have expected, I want a "Pink Mouse". I put some ribena in a small bowl and turn the quail egg around, it seems like the colour cannot stick on it after few minutes. I took it out and leave it in the air for few minutes, then it turned to black.... hahahaha... mouse on the street meant to be black right.... (^@^).

Bento #92 - White Rabbit

This idea is from a Japanese blog. Cannot deny, Japanese are good in bento making. How wonderful if I can read Japanese, I think they do share some tips there. I did take up a Japanese course for about a year during colleague time, but all has return back to the teacher (^@^).

A rabbit made from egg and some golden kiwi.

Bento #87 - Last minute Chicks

Yes, last minute bento! I am extremely busy with work recently, my brain is like exhausted, can’t think of new idea and I have no time to browse around, that’s why you can see this week bento is rather simple and quick.

I want to pack Isaac egg today. Other than using the rabbit/bear egg mould, what I can think of is decorate the egg as a little chick, then again pack him half golden kiwi (the only fruit I have in the fridge ^_^ ). This morning while having a cup of white coffee, I look at last slice of bread, decided to fix him another chick using bread.

Here are the chicks, an “Early chick” & “Last minute chick”…… (^@^)
