These piggy paus are filled with lotus seed paste, MP's favourite kind.
In this bento are some steamed paus, orange slices, pretzels and cereal bites.
To assemble the pigs all you need is a slice of cooked/cold ham, cookie cutters and a straw.
For the snout/nose - Use a round/oval-shaped cookie cutter. Cut out small holes as nostrils using a straw.
For the ears - Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter. Using same cutter, mold/shape the ears smaller.
To 'attach' the ham cut out facial expressions to the pau, any thin dried noodle can be used.
Have fun creating your own piggy-wiggies :)

That's very creative!
Those piggies are super cute and your bento makes me hungry this morning (^.^)
Tks gina, ha ha ha...u must have tracked me reading your blog silently :) Love your posts and somehow only manage to enjoy the pictures at cafes with free wifi, funny huh?
Tks Lia Chen, Unfortunately as cute as the pigs were, the particular brand of pau wasn't to MP's liking. He say's he prefers the green skinned ones. Must make a trip to the supermarket soon for this picky eater!! They taste fine to me!!! But of course he had no trouble polishing off the decorations, sigh!
