Pink Pigs Bento

Piggies are one of my favourite character for charaben. They are cute and easy to do. I sprayed on some pink wilton color mist on the bread, for that extra cuteness.

Duffy and Shellie May Bento

The characters for today's bento are Duffy and Shellie May from Disney. But I got the proportion wrong somewhere though, my Duffy and Shellie May onigiri looks quite different from the real Mccoy. We bought home Duffy and Shellie May from our last trip to Disneysea. LT's in love with Duffy and I adore Shellie May, so Daddy got us a pair. Check out some of the pictures after the lunch boxes.

Smiley Medal Bento

Made a smiley medal out of egg for them today. The main was stir fry udon. The medal in the picture was from the Standard Chartered Kids Dash. The boys participated in it last year, and they got the medal from the run. It was their first time participating in a run, they enjoyed it so we will be joining again this year.

Snack bento was rice krispies yoghurt bars, IT loves them. I used a heart cookie cutter to cut them out.

Pikachu n Pokemon Ball Bento

The boys requested for this bento. I was surfing the net for bento ideas, and they happened to see this bento of Pikachu and Pokemon ball. So they asked me to make for them. Pikachu was colored with the rice color sachets. Pokemon ball was made out of cheese, I sprayed on some wilton red color mist on them.

Chip and Dale Bento

Got a Chip puncher set together with my Doreamon set. It's my first time using them today. I only bought the Chip puncher set. It's too costly to buy both Chip and Dale, so I can only get one. I'm also eyeing the piglet and stitch set. :)

I imprinted the stamper on the cheese to cut it out, but I stamped a bit too hard, so u can see some imprints on the chesse. Will have to take note next time. 4 bentos for today, as it's the day LT brings a bento to school.

Bunny On Soba Bento

It's cold soba again. It's very hot over here these days. IT is very happy when he has a cold bento for recess. This time I kept the soba in the freezer before he left for school, so it will be very cold when he opens up his thermal container at recess. Made a bunny to decorate the bento.

Doraemon and Boys Bento

I bought the Doraemon puncher set from jmama sometime back. It's my first time using them. Something was missing from my Doraemon, I only realized it after I'm done. It's the bell on his neck. I must remember to add it in next time, he looks weird without the bell.

Quails eggs decorated as boys for the snack box. It's Japanese curry meatballs for them in the box. I made a lot of meatballs to store as my bento stash. It helps to speed things up in the kitchen in the morning. All I have to do is to pop them in the fridge to defrost the nite before and glaze them with a sauce in the morning.

Little Boy Bento

Ham and cheese sandwiches for the boys, it's a good way to make use of the leftover cheese. I always keep the cheese cut outs for the week and use them for their sandwiches.

My Melody

I am very happy the boys are not fussy about bento themes, it's a lot less restrictive for me. In fact, My Melody is one of LT's favourite character. IT does not fancy Melody but he does not mind having her in his bento.

Piggies Bread Ball

Piggies Bread ball for today, done same way as the bear bread balls sometimes back. This time I used white bread, instead of wholemeal. IT loves bringing lunchboxes to school, he has been bugging me to let him bring everyday. But I managed to persuade him to just stick to once a week.

Mouse on soba

It's cold soba for the boys again. It's one of their favourite japanese noodles. Their favourite is Ramen. I kept their lunch bento in the fridge and only took out before their lunch. The one IT brings to school was packed in a thermal flask.

Ladybugs

I've been wanting to get a small capacity double tier lunch box for them. That's because everytime I packed noodles, their normal lunch box is too small, I ended up with not much space for the sides and fruits. I found these pretty lunchboxes at Sanrio, sugar bunnies for LT, he likes them. IT does not like girly stuff, but he's ok with little twin star, coz there's a boy.

Stir fried Udon for them today for lunch. I cooked some miso udon for IT to bring to school. I packed it in a thermal flask for him and it was still warm at recess.

The Green Pig from Angry Birds

Remember my angry birds bento during the holidays? This one is a continuation, the boys have been asking me where is the green pig. So boys, here is the green pigs. They love it but they asked me why dun I make King pig, all I hv to do is to add in a crown. Oh well, next time, I need to shop for a crown pick first. Snack was a nutella sandwich again, IT loves nutella but LT does not likes it. This time it's a bear, details drawn on with chocolate pen.
