Bento #68 ~ Cherry Deco Sushi ~

Last Saturday, I tried to make deco sushi. Hmm......turns out a bit out of shape and messy. Big E said "mummy, you should turn it the other way so that it looks like two eyes with a mouth >.<

Cherry sushi with fish sausages as cherry and nori for the stems.

And here is my sushi. It's fun! Will try out other deco sushi :)



Bento #67 ~ Little Chicks Bento ~

Forgot to post this bento. This was done on last week in conjunction of the new book from Hippomum. I'm a big fan of her and definitely would not miss her new book ^_^ Tried out one of her new recipe -fried noodles with bread. It's yummy and most important thing is easy to cook for a lazy cook like me! Hahaha......

I've add two little chicks on the noodles. Dye one of the chick with brown sugar, hmmm......turns out the color a bit too dark. Sun tanned chicks! :D Some grapes and sweet corn to complete the meal!

Bento #56 ~ Totoro and Friends ~

This bento was done on last Saturday for Big E and Little A's lunch. Big E bought a Totoro plush toy and she is so happy that request for a Totoro lunch. I was following the Totoro plush toy for the making of Totoro bento and didn't realise that the Totoro plush toy does not have whiskers. So end up my Totoro also no whiskers. Lol! I only realised after the photo shooting and it was too late cos they have start eating it @.@ Told Big E about the missing whiskers, luckily she reply "for me it looks the same, still looks like Totoro" 

I mix some sesame powder on the rice to make the color of Totoro. Eyes are cheese and nori. In another bento box, I use half of a hard boiled to make another white Totoro and wrapped the rice with nori for the dust bunny. Serve with fried chicken, carrot tamagoyaki and a bowl of hot vege fish soup.

And here is my Totoro without whiskers :P




And Big E's favourite Totoro plush toy :)
