Tiger heart (B#310)

On a tiger roll here (literally) :)

CNY and Valentine's Day are on the same day this year. Suppose couples will have to share this day with the whole family and not just a loved one??? Not sure how that works but whatever it is, quiet & romatic could be out since during this period, the preference is to celebrate with a lot of noise and gaiety! The louder the better :)

In this bento is a bun with ham, slices of oranges, heart sausage, some blanched sweet peas and quail eggs for the ears.

First Tiger (B#309)

Haiseh-man, its almost 2 months into year 2010 and here I am posting my first tiger *shy*

Anyway, been seeing lots of cute tiger bentos around, finally rubbed off on me. Will also be submitting to Happa's B.O.M.B. challenge with a 'RED' theme especially since Chinese New Year will be celebrated this month (same day as VD).

But you know, while Chinese people love gold and 'red' (aka ang to symbolize prosperity/wealth) decorations during this festive season, even wear red clothings, etc. I've noticed that the food we eat are not necessarily red in colour!! Interesting huh?

Anyway back to the bento, RED container and RED watermelon plus RED angpows as decoration and RED food pick (hm, my red hearts have gone missing). Aside from the RED description of this bento, there is also popiah (aka spring roll), papaya slices and a cheese tiger face.
