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.

Happy Bento B56 25/9/12

Today's bento is really a new try out- piping hot steam glutinous rice bento!

Since usually it's bread bento, I thought it might be good to have a change and let my hubbie have some variety for a change :)

In the box, there's glutinous rice wrapped in aluminium foil, hawthorn slices, multivitamin pills, apples and carrot sticks :)

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

Today's bento consists of two pandas, cinnamon roll(square white bread) and purple mouse with orange ears. condiments include precious jewels biscuits.

Happy Bento B42 6/9/12

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

Yawn.. Today's bento is an impromptu bento as I was too tired and busy to design one. I already had a design in mind but no time to plan it out :(

Happy Bento B39 3/9/12

After a lazy weekend, it's back to Monday tomorrow. I decided to do something simple and sweet for the start of a week of work for the BIG kid hee :)

Rummaging through my toys, I told myself that the first character that I picked up will be the theme for my bento tomorrow. Shortly after, hello kitty cookie cutters came up! I picked that up and thought I should try something new- hello kitty pouch :) I wanted to try out some of those daisy shaped 3D flowers that I saw online, hence I modified it using daiso square bread mould and my hello kitty :)

For the hello kitty pouch, I filled it up with homemade egg mayonnaise. I came up with my own egg mayonnaise using the following:

Homemade egg mayonnaise (for 4 slices of bread)
Ingredients:
1) 2 hard boiled eggs
2) mayonnaise
3) Italian herbs
4) black pepper
5) salt

Procedures
1) smashed the hard boiled eggs in a bowl.
2) add in 1 to 1.5 tsp of mayonnaise, dashes of black pepper, Italian herbs and a small pinch of salt.
3) mix well and serve.

For condiments, I had oats biscuits, orange quarts and multivitamins.
