Ladybug Bento

I love the colors of these cherry tomatoes, today I used them to make ladybugs. Only problem is the boys do not like them, IT ate half a tomato yesterday with this "painful" expression on his face. lol. LT refused to have any. Today, they both fed the tomatoes to me. Yes, they just took the tomatoes and pop them in my mouth. Haiz. The making kids take food they do not want through Charaben never worked on my kids. :(

    1. Dark soya sauce is mainly for the colour, so you can omit. As for rice wine, you can try substituting with other cooking wine.
