Happy Bento B90 19/12/12 a duckie xmas

Today's idea is an impromptu one as I was too tired to plan one.. Yawn.

Since I'm doing sandwiches (again, yes) I decided to cut them into triangles and as I was stacking up, they fell like dominoes! Oh no! But hey, I saw something- I could use them to make a Christmas tree! That excites me! I rushed to my veg
compartment and ran through to see what I can use to decorate my tree! Hence I ended up using lettuce strips, cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes to represent the star! I use duckie picks to decorate the tree! As for Santa's body, it's a pear! Haha my hubbie came and took a peek when I was doing up his bento, out of curiosity I asked him if he can make out what's in his bento? He instantly told me its s Christmas tree! Hohoho I've succeeded! do note that there are pressies (biscuit squares) under the Christmas tree.

It's exactly a week to Christmas, one of my favorite season:) I had some bake cinnamon ginger cookies and cranberry peppermint cookies from a dear friend as Christmas gift!! I told BIG KID (aka my hubbie) that I'll packed some for his bento, imagine him grinning from eat to eat kekeke :)

Since these cookies are squared shaped, it decided to use them as "cushions" in my bento for the puppies :) The puppies are mini sammies filled with four berries jam. The wreath is made up of Korean honeyed mandarin with jeweled picks.

Hope he like them:)

Happy Bento B85 11/12/12 Rise and Shine!

BIG KID aka my hubbie, can't seem to wake up no matter how many times I had tried to wake him up for work. Nope, not sick or anything, probably worn out. Thus I decided to make him a rise and shine bento.

Today's bento is super simple. :(( The BIG KID (aka hubbie) is down with throat infection thus I gotta do a healthy one. Wanted to do a character one but no time today thus this simple bento.

Happy Bento B77 8/11/12

I finally feel better after being down for a few days with a bad throat infection.

Since I took an absence from making bento the day before, hence I decided to do something nice n cute. Hence I did a little research and found a very cute dog picture online. I decided to do a bento with it :)

I used lettuce, cheese and chicken burger for the Sammy and orange quarters with multivitamins for my very busy hubbie. Hope he likes it.

Happy Bento B76 6/11/12

Today's bento was an impromptu as I was feeling too sick (due to fever and sore throat) to plan.

Today's bento is about baby koala going to work with my hubbie. His friends in the woods are sending him off with my hubbie.

In the bento, there's four berries jam sammies, apple, banana, multivitamins(hidden behind the sammies) and precious gem biscuits.

Happy Bento B75 5/11/12

This bento is a very interesting one to me. Firstly, I managed to do bread balls ( stuffed with pork floss) and make them into little children. Secondly I discovered a way of doing my apples besides the rabbits, swan and leaf that I came across on the Net. I was super happy when I managed to get these two done on first try.

However, I wasn't able to do my kids riding on a banana boat at sea! :( I think I will do this for my next bento since I still have some Japanese bananas. Hopefully I can get it done successfully and at one go.

Happy Bento B63 15/10/12

This month is halloween month. I wanted to do halloween bentos but didn't have much idea as brain juice malfunction :( luckily, I came across a pic online and decided to use that and brainstorm for idea for halloween bento. Unfortunately I did not have any hat picks and couldn't find suitable stickers to do my very own hat pick, hence I decided to forgo the hat part.

Happy Bento B62 09/10/12

I was too tired and almost couldnt wake up in time to do bento. Since i haven't plan for anything, I decided to use my new picks and do a duck family outing theme. The duck family was out for a swim and picnic at a new pond that they discovered. The ducklings were told not to go down into the pool yet. Suddenly, the ducklings slipped and fell into the pond! Papa, Mama and uncle duck are trying to swim over and rescue the baby ducklings who fell into the pond by chance! Lets hope that the ducklings will learn to swim soon.

Happy Bento B58 1/10/12

After a busy day of gathering with families for mid-autumn festival the day before, I hardly had time to plan for today's bento.

Since its children's day today, I decided to do a simple impromptu charaben - dinosaur bento! However, it's gonna be a less healthy one as there's less vegetables in there :(( what to do, schedule is way too packed for groceries shopping this week!

I did a chicken burger using grilled chicken patty, cucumber slices and some remaining cheese from the dinosaur. For the dinosaur, I used cheddar and mozzarella cheese slices to have some colour effect (I feel that my bento colours is too plain today other than some red colour).

For the condiments, I had sliced apple, wedges sticks, garlic chilli sauce, multivitamin pills and chocolate wafer.

Let's see if this bento works out to be fine.

Today's bento is the simplest of all. Hubbie told me that he gotta rush his work (file) out for his client, who is chasing unreasonably. Obviously, i gotta factor that in and do the simplest bento ever. Not that I like to but given the situation, keeping things fast and simple is the best solution.

Cheese sandwiches with pink lady apple, multivitamins and dark chocolate chip cookies (in packs).

Happy Bento B41 5/9/12
