Rilakkuma Pirate Bento

Ahoy Mateys! Today is International Talk like a Pirate Day. I'm having a pirate bento hop with my fellow Bento Bloggers & Friends onboard Black Bread's Revenge. My boy loves pirate theme and I've made a few pirate bentos before, click HERE to check them out.


I was debating between Hello Kitty Pirate and Rilakkuma Pirate for my bento, finally decided on Rilakkuma, I think I'll save Hello Kitty Pirate for next year, lol. The sides in the box behind are fried chicken cutlets, grapes and strawberries.


Rilakkuma is rice coloured with some dark soya sauce. The map is a recycled idea from my Pirate bento last year. :P The treasure chest is made from inari sushi, egg sheet, cheese and ham.

I made a bread version for my boys' snacks. The Pirate ship is bread spread with nutella and peanut butter, the skull is made from cheese and nori.


Rilakkuma's head is made from a bread bun and his bandana is cut out from a peach.

Now, are you ready for some pirate blog hopping adventure. Step onboard Black Bread's Revenge, sail over to Eats Amazing and check out the awesome pirate bento First Mate Grace has made . After ye've sailed 'round this hop, hang on to yer sea legs! Click 'ere to board t'next ship fer another hop!

Pirate Bento

My new blocks lunchboxes just came in the mail yesterday. I ordered them in the boys' favourite colours. The boys are excited over the Lego blocks look alike lunchboxes, especially LT, who kept playing with them. -_- I ordered them from Jmama, she's bringing in the food cups and straps as well. :)

I made pirates for their bentos today, one version using rice, and the other using bread. :) The boys say I made the pirates from Lego. I don't even know what they were talking about till they showed me their toys brochure. :P


Bento for LT, in the box are onigiri, ngoh hiang (meat rolls), broccoli, stawberries and blueberries.


Bento for IT, same food as above. I din like how the pirates with bonito flakes hair turned out, the colour of the flakes was too light, but I was running late, so I just left it. :(


Bento for LT to bring to School, in the box are butter/sugar bread, cheese, ham, ngoh hiang and grapes.


IT's recess bento, same food as above.


Pirates and new boxes.


For me, salad in Japanese soy sauce dressing and ngoh hiang. Not much of an appetite these few days. Just as well, I need to lose some weight. :P
