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?? :(

Bentos # 85-87

Bento #87

Breakfast bento - Some rolled bread with chocolate jam, shaped sausages, endamame and sliced apples. Was rushing with this bento as we all slept in!! Yep, got in a little late this morning :(

Bento #86

Was thinking twice about posting this since it doesn't look too attractive and only consist of onigri and leftover pasta sauce. This was my dinner - not pretty but was nevertheless tasty!! Also didn't have any of my bento tools with me and there is only so much one can achieve with a fat pair of kitchen scissors!!

Bento #85

Dinner bento - Cubed rice with some fish cake, string beans and mushroom. Was rushing this bento as MP had an activity that evening. Was surprised MP managed to finish his bento as I thought I had given him a lot of compressed rice!
