My 100th bento!!!

Can't believe I have reached a '00'-milestone! I must say that it certainly has been fun and interesting thus far.

Updated - thanks to all the fellow bento bloggers for their kind support. Without their invaluable input and willingness to share I am sure I wouldn't have started bento-ing, so thank you all!! May we all continue to inspire each other with our bento boxes!!

Bento #100

Lunch bento - Chicken rice shaped faces with roast pork, roast chiken and some green apples.

Bento #99

Breakfast bento - Cream crackers with egg custard jam (kaya), apples and endamame. Used some cheese slices to make some Little Men and Little Miss faces.

Bento #98

Breakfast bento - MP shared this with his cousin who stayed overnight with us.
Bacon sandwiches, some sausage with endamame and mandarin orange.

Bento #97

J's breakfast bento - A simple pan fried egg centred sausage with some fruit loops and mandarin orange. I was actually trying to do a pattern twirl with a sunny side up egg. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out as planned.

Bento #96

Breakfast bento - A sandwich with pork jerky (aka bak kwa) with a red apple and endamame. Got the cute idea of shaping the bread from shoppingmum!

Weekend baking

Can't believe Chinese New Year is only 6 days away. It only seems like yesterday we were celebrating Xmas and then New Year and now....CNY.

As expected, there are lots of things to do, buy, clean and prepare.

This year, I've decided not to unduly stress myself and have limited my festive baking based on one rule of thumb - it must be easy and fuss-free!! :) ha ha

This is what I have baked so far:

Fruit cake with rum


Cornflake cookies - my first time making this.

Almond cookies

Also had time for Feta Olive Bread, you can get the recipe here.

One of the loaf is for a friend of mine who is down visiting. This time, I baked an extra for the house! It was certainly a wise decision!

The bread was very addictive and tasty!
