One Piece Luffy Seaweed Bento

My boys used to be quite crazy over the anime, One Piece last year. The craze has died down a little this year, and I don't see them watching One Piece as often now. We brought them to J-WORLD in Tokyo for a visit last year. J-WORLD is an indoor theme park by Namco, it's based on popular manga characters like One Piece, Dragonball and Naruto. My boys actually asked for a Dragonball bento when we came back, I've yet to get that done, oops. -_- I ended up making Luffy from One Piece instead.


This Luffy bento was made while I was doing examinations revisions with IT in May. Speaking of exams, my boys exams are coming again soon, not so many topics covered this round, so revisions will be much easier.


Luffy is just seaweed, which I cut out using a pair of scissors, and placed it on a slice of cheese. Sunny is made using hard boiled egg, cheese, carrots and nori.


The side dishes were carrot meat patties and stir-fried pea sprouts with mushrooms.


Sharing some food photos I took at J-WORLD. Even though my boys had a great time there, I won't exactly recommend the theme park, unless you are a manga fan. The entrance fees were cheap, but they charge for every ride. The theme park is also rather small, not worth making a special trip down. However, Sunshine City, where the theme park is located in, is a great place to shop.


Some of the food we ordered, taste wise was just so-so, not fantastic, but not horrible either.


If you are heading there, do try the giant takoyaki outside Sunshine City. My boys are huge fan of takoyaki, it's our second time eating trying this stall, love this twist to the usual takoyaki. :)

One Piece Chopper Bento

My boys are very into One Piece since we came back from Japan. They are only allowed one cartoon per day and all they want to watch is One Piece. Daddy is equally into the cartoon, so on weekends, they get to watch an extra one or two episodes with him. It's definitely no surprise that I recieved a request for a One Piece bento from them. I decided to make Chopper, since he's my favourite in the show. The bento was done on Tuesday.


Chopper is rice coloured with dark soya sauce and sakura denbu. I know Chopper looks a little too dark! I accidentally added in a little too much dark soya sauce. -_- I guess I will have to try making another version of Chopper next week. -_- I still owe them a Chopper bento for School as well and I hope to get that done next week as well. The other details are done with nori, cheese and ham.


The bento is packed with nori pork rolls, broccoli and grapes. My boys are sharing the bento, this is a large box, with a capacity of 900ml.


I also made Chopper and Luffy cakes on Tuesday using pancake mix. I had the moulds so it was easy.


I had two for my tea break.


And I also packed them for their bentos for School for the following day. I added in some maple syrup in the sauce for them to drizzle on the cakes. :)

One Piece Luffy Bento

The boys did not go to School today, so I only made lunch bentos for them. IT won't be going back to School anymore, it's the start of holidays for him.

Bento Berries has kindly sponsored a pack of One Piece picks, which came in handy as I always wanted to make Chopper. However, I changed my mind yesterday and made Luffy instead, lol. :P Chopper is next on the list.


This is the pack of picks sponsored by Bento Berries. They are still having their Giveaway, closing on 18th November, so do hop over to their site to check it out if you have yet to.


There are nine picks in a pack.


Luffy, made from ham, nori and bread.


Lunch today is rice, meatballs, grapes and strawberries. I'm out of veggies, my fridge was cleared out over the weekends. Meatballs are from my bento stash in the freezer.


And a bento for myself. :) It's Deepavali holiday tomorrow, Happy Deepavali to those who celebrate the festival. :)
