Bento #141 - Koala Bears

Yerterday I went to RT House to get a Tiramisu birthday cake for my eldest brother, I also bought a sesame chiffon cake as breakfast for today. At first thought of fixing a Mickey and Minnie bento for Isaac, but with the colour of the chiffon, I think is a good idea to fix a koala bear instead.

I only spent about 15 minutes to prepare this bento, it is considered speedy bento to me. I have about half an hour to kill before dressing up, so I did some dishwashing, which I will normally do after work (^@^).

Bento #140 - Halloween Avatar

Halloween Day 2009 had over and it's still far to reach Halloween 2010, why am I fixing this theme at this time? Seems like not the right time ahh? (@.@)

In the bento: bread with blueberry jam and cheese sausages. I spent too much time on cutting the nori freehand, thus no time to cut some fruit (X_X).

Bento #139 - The Lion King

That day swam to Susan Yuen's house (blog) and saw her bought a nested triangular box and then fixed her kids a Lion Cub Bento. The lion cub was so cute until I can't wait to fix one for my boy.

Today I did snap some photos on how I prepared the sandwich.

Prepare two slices of bread, egg with mayonnaise and a triangular rice mould. I used small rice mould for Isaac.
Put some mayo egg in between 2 breads, use the rice mould to cut out a triangular sandwich.
The mayo egg is sealed nicely.
Cut the lion head and nose from cheese. I use two different cheese in this case so that the nose can be obviously seen.
Stack the cheese on top of the sandwich. Cut the face features from nori.

~~ Task accomplished !! ~~

The food cup is just nice to serve as the lion mane. Besides, its colour matches with cheese (@.@)

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 #137 - Tuna Bread

This is my first time prepared tuna bread for Isaac, not sure whether he will likes it. I cut the bread into star shape, put it in muffin tray, then put some tuna on the bread and top with some cheese and mayonnaise. Finally toast it in oven for few minutes.

I put the bread in muffin tray so that it will bend upward, just like a cup. For Isaac, I used small star cutter so that the portion is just nice for him. Whereas for hubby and myself, I used bigger cutter. The cup is more obvious using big cutter. I was in hurry this morning and forgot to snap some photos on how I prepared them.

Bento #136 - Something Simple ...

These few days I did pack some simple bento for Isaac, but it's too simple until I feel embarrased to post it (@.@) Today is another simple bento, but I decided to post it as my hand is itchy and I feel sick for not blogging for few days. Hei, now if I don't blog for couple of days, I have the feeling like few days didn't communicate with bento mamas... weird.... (O.o)


I have finally stocked up my fridge, I did a quick grocery shopping during lunch and bought some golden kiwi, cheese sausage and nuggets (requested by Isaac for quite some time already). So bento today I packed a whole golden kiwi, two cheese sausages and a pandan tambun biscuit.

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.
