Various including Kiki's cat (B#282-284)

Bento #284

I’m sure you are probably familiar with Miyazaki’s other animation Kiki’s Delivery Service which is today’s bento inspiration - but not the little witch girl but the cat.

Yes, I realize Halloween has just recently passed but this has been one of my 'to-dos' for sometime now.

Unfortunately didn’t realize we ran out of crabsticks and so had to find an alternative for the ribbon bow. Think it would look a lot nicer with a red bow instead, next time.

This bento consist of rice with steam fish, potatoes, leftover fish cakes and cucumber. It may not be obvious but I placed some Chinese sausage underneath the cat to keep the cheesey cat from melting on top of the warm rice!! :)




Bento #283

Monsoon season is here so we've been having a few wet mornings in a row. But today….its a ‘Sunny Day’ so made a bento to match today’s weather.

In the bento is a ham, quail egg and cheese sandwich with some pineapples and grapes.

Bento #282

Another ‘plated’ bento with heart shaped onigri, some stir fried cabbage with carrots, chicken, fish cakes and Chinese sausage.

Mice in a box (B#281)

In my bento accessories wish list, there is this tool which you can get to make various animal faces with quail eggs.



Couldn’t wait anymore especially since I bought a tray of quail eggs from the market. Tried toying around with an alternative way with the existing tools. It worked but hiya, left my face punchers at M’s house and could only make do with what I had that morning (looks more like pigs or something!!).

Wanted to make a pair of ‘mice’ so using a small round cutter, cut the ears and then push them into the slits of the hardboiled quail eggs. Dress the face details with nori seaweed.

In this bento box, a ham sandwich with a pair of ‘mice’ quail eggs, some carrots and pineapple.
