Bento #133 ~ Korilakkuma ~

This bento is for Little A. This little firiend of mine said "I want only bread, nutella, cheese and grapes in my bento!" Mummy replied " Can I add seaweed for the eyes and nose?" She replied "Sure!" Lol!

So this is the bento with only bread and nutella spread, cheese and seaweed for the details and lastly her favourite fruits, grapes. :D

I make simple Korilakkuma for her!

*She finished everything  but not in the school, she finished it in the car. lol!

Foodarts!

Last month, I made quite a few foodarts mainly for Little A's lunch / tea breaks during weekends. Little A is a girl with lots of imaginations and comments. She will comment every foodart or bento that I've made. Loves her comments always as it is so cute to me :)

1) Keroppi 

Little snacks for Little A tea break, bread with pandan kaya (coconut egg jam) and nori for the details. Served with a cup of homemade soy milk. 

2) My Melody, pink soba

Using pink soba to make My Melody, Little A's loves food in bite size which is easier for her to eat and she can finished the food very fast. So I made these small little My Melody for her lunch.

3) Totoro, deco steam cake 

First attempt on making the deco steamed cake, I tried out the recipe from Little Miss Bento .Loves her recipes very much, it is easy and yummy.

4) Rilakkuma and Friends, noodles

Using Mee Poh (thick noodles) to make these Rilakkuma and Korilakkuma. Scrambled eggs for Kiroitori. Again it is in bite size for Little A :)

5) Busy Bees

A toast art using quail eggs for the bees. I soaked the quail eggs in the turmeric water and the quail eggs turn to lovely yellow colour just nice for me to transform them into bees. Place them on the cheese and added nori for the details.

6)  Baby Pooh

Make another nori cutting, lazy me make the baby Pooh so big, easier for me to cut...lol!

7) Mini dumplings

This foodart is to celebrate Duanwu Festival / Dragon Boat Festival. On this day, we will eat glutinous rice dumpling. I don't know how to make the glutinous rice dumpling but I love to eat :P So I make my own version of  mini rice dumplings with different fillings.

Hope you enjoy my foodart! ^_^

Food Art ~ Totoro is reading?

Oh no, oh no, so sorry that I've been so long not updating my blog......have been busy with my work......I still have so many posts to update, hopefully can update all the posts as soon as possible. For latest bento, please follow me on my instagram, you can find the icon at the side of the blog :D

Today, I'm sharing the food art that I made on last month. April 23 is World Book Day and I made a reading Totoro for Big E. Big E laughed so happily when she saw the reading Totoro, I remembered she said "mummy I didn't know that Totoro knows how to read and he looks so hardworking! Lol!

Totoro is made of rice mixed with black sesame powder, add nori and cheese for the details and air-fried spaghetti strips for the whiskers. The book is made of carrot. Big E had yakitori and big red juicy strawberries for her meal.

Bento #123 ~ Baby Pooh in the egg?

Big E requested for cold somen to bring to school. Ah, that is pretty easy for me, just have to cook the somen and mix the sauce! Fast and easy! Since I still have some time, I made a baby pooh using mashed potato and place the baby Pooh in the hard-boiled egg as eggshell! Big E saw the bento and asked "mummy, how come the baby Pooh is in the egg shell? I replied "mummy, also don't know....hahaha".

Packed the bento in my favourite Japanese doll bento box! :D

I made Pooh in bunny costume. I mixed some yellow furikake in the rice for the Pooh. Shape it using cling wrap and add nori for the details. Ketchup for the mouth and color gel for the bunny's cheek.

Simple bento with gyoza, sausages, eggs and grapes.
