My Favourite 13 of 2013

Happy New Year! May your 2014 be filled with health and happiness. I will be sharing my favourite 13 creations for 2013 in this post.

I found it really tough narrowing down my bentos to my favourite 13, I have way too many favourites, lol. I ended up choosing one from each month instead. I tried to choose those creations that I like but are less popular, hope you enjoy looking through them. Just click on the images below to link to the respective blog post.

Pumpkin, Ghost & Skull Sushi

I'm sharing Halloween deco sushi for today, ideas are all from a deco sushi book.

\
Pumpkin and ghost sushi, which my boys had for lunch. They love sushi because they like dipping their rice in soya sauce. -_- They are huge fans of salmon sashimi as well, for the same reason, lol.


I coloured my pumpkin sushi with steamed mashed pumpkin. The other ingredients used for the pumpkin sushi were japanese cucumber and kamaboko.


There were no instructions in the book on how to roll these ghost sushi, but since only the ghost hands needed to be rolled with the sushi, I did managed to figure it out.


These skull sushi were done on another day. The pink rice was coloured with sakura denbu and the grey rice was coloured with grinded black sesame seeds.


I made some Halloween sushi last year too, click HERE to check them out.

Halloween Ghost Bento

I normally don't post on weekends, decided to blog today because I had wanted to do so yesterday, but was too tired from revising with IT. IT's exams are next week, having mixed feelings, there's still so much more for us to revise and yet I can't wait for the exams to be over.


I'm sharing some ways to create a ghost, a friendly one, for Halloween. :) This one was using crepes, you can use wraps too.


There was teriyaki chicken, cheese and lettuce under the crepes.


I rolled up the rest of the crepes and cut them in half.


Another ghost creation, this time using egg sheet. The bow on top is made from ham.


There's salmon fried rice under the egg sheet. :)

Halloween Sushi Bento

I saw pumpkin sushi in Stefanie's bento a while back. I love the idea, so I stole her idea and created them for today's bentos. :) I'm almost done with my Halloween themed bentos, probably will do another one or two more on the last week of October.


Ghost and Pumpkin sushi, the orange rice is mixed with mashed pumpkin.


I packed the lunchboxes with prawn paste wings, broccoli and strawberries.


Sushi for School as well, with prawn paste wings and strawberries.


Close up of the sushi. :)


The extra sushi and wings, packed into a bento for myself. :)


A new bento bag for IT, from BentoUSA. It's an insulated bag and comes with an ice pack. :)
