Panda Cheese Bread Bun

IT's exams are finally over and we are now counting down to School holidays! :) For today, I'm sharing some bread rolls which I decorated last Wednesday.

These are sausage buns, decorated with pandas. Pandas are made from cheese and nori.

My boys also had nuggets, golden kiwis and strawberries. :)

I also decorated my sausage buns. These are really easy and fast to make, flower and bird cut outs are done with cutters.

Bear Signboard Bento

Bento Berries has kindly sponsored a set of bento cutter, and I am sharing the creations I've done using the cutters in this post. Please hop over to their site to check out other cute bento stuff they carry.

Here's the cutter I received.

One pack contains 8 different designs. It also comes with a box to keep the cutters.

IMG_5993
I used the bear cutter in the set to cut out cheese and added on details with nori and ham. I made these on Tuesday, added the words 'ganbatte' to encourage IT for his exams this week. He still has one more paper next Monday, so we will be busy revising this weekend. -_-

Pasta was done aglio olio style with lots of garlic. There was also chicken patties, grapes and strawberries in the bento.

I used the same cutter for their snack boxes. This time I made a welcome signboard instead.

Panda Onigiri Bento

A quick post today, sharing some simple panda onigiris I made for my boys' lunch on Monday. :)

IMG_5967
Something fast to whip up on a lazy Monday morning, lol. Just shape rice into triangular onigiris using cling wrap. Cut seaweed with a pair of scissors and add on details with a nori puncher.

IMG_5971
Served with meat patties, broccoli, apples, golden kiwis and strawberries. :)

Curry chicken for breakfast. I've a habit of keeping curry chicken from dinner the night before and cook them with noodles the following day. :P

UP Bento

The bento I'm sharing today is based on Disney Pixar movie UP. I love this movie a lot, definitely one of my favorites. :)

IMG_5941
I made this bento last Friday. Carl and Russell are made from short grained white rice, coloured with a bit of ketchup. :)

IMG_5935
There's chicken patties, broccoli and strawberries in the bento.

IMG_5947
I also made this fruit platter last Friday, for my boys to eat after dinner. This was inspired by Idafrosk's UP creation.

IMG_5950
I used pineapples, kiwis, strawberries and grapes for the balloons. The house is made from bread and the balloon strings are pasta. I decided to do this at the last minute, so made this just by using whatever fruits I could find in my fridge. I wanted more orange/yellow colour but there was only a small slice of pineapple left.

Pooh Bear Sushi

I'm very busy this week as it's Exam week for IT, his last paper will be next Monday. I can't wait for it to be over, lol. The Pooh bear sushi I'm sharing today were made last Thursday. I still have a backlog of bentos to post. -_-

IMG_5919
I coloured part of the rice yellow using mashed egg yolk. Details were done with nori.

IMG_5924
For sides, my boys had meat patties, broccoli and strawberries. :)

IMG_5925
I'm quite happy with how the sushi turned out, I think I will try Piglet sushi next. But before that, there's another character sushi I plan to do on this coming Thursday. :)
