Bentos # 88-95

Bento #95

J’s breakfast bento – Was planning another face but it turned to a flower instead. Not complaining. Underneath the ‘flower’ is commercially bought pizza bread. Other side foods are the same – sliced oranges and endamame.


Bento #94



DH’s breakfast bento – It seems that not only kids and teenagers are conscious about their ‘image’!! DH refuses to use any of MP’s cartoon/cute boxes. And well, MP prefers only to use the macho/boy type bento boxes. None of the Winnie the Pooh, Hello Kitty, My Melody or pink boxes please! Maybe at home ok but DEFINITELY not for school!!

Anyway, DH’s box contains commercially bought nutty bread. Not sure what to do with it so decided it could perhaps look like a snail? Ha ha – used a tau sar peng for the head. Other side condiments are the same – sliced oranges and endamame.


Bento #93
MP’s breakfast bento – Using commercially bought sausage bread with a bear (??) face accompanied with some endamame and sliced oranges.


Bento #92

Lunch bento – Hamburger face with oranges for ‘nose’ and grapes for ‘cheeks’!

The bentos below contain the same food – fried rice and cucumber. Was experimenting with some cut-out decorations inspired by akinochigo. It was indeed a tedious and time consuming plan!! But since I started, I could not abandon halfway.
Anyway, here's what's boxed.

Bento #91

Another dog motif.

Bento #90

Some baby chicks.

Bento #89


Could this pass as a yellow Boltz? Ha ha, probably not. Besides, Boltz has a lightning symbol not a 'star'.

Bento #88
My favourite character, Totoro. The seaweed was 'warping' when I left it on the egg for a few min. Not sure of the reason - maybe too warm when I placed it on top?? :(

Wahhh, you have been creative!

Go lah get the 2-tier oval black bento box for yr DH. 100yen has nice black carrier bags! I just got one today to complete my 'black bento' collection.

My DH is happy using the Lock&Lock for his fruits!

For DH, I just use the Ikea red&white boxes - good enough for him wor.

You're so fast, already at bento # 95. And such cute bentos too. Your DH's like mine.... want to be macho only. *_*

Hi 3lilangels, yeah can't believe reaching almost 100. But I think some of my earlier bentos were very simple.

What to do, these men don't want to be teased! He he he
