Pigs Burgers Bento

I've been craving for some beef burgers, so I decided to make all of us one today. The beef patties were prepared yesterday. I pan fried them this morning with an egg, so the bentos were done quite fast today. :) Instead of serving the boys' lunch in lunch boxes, I decided to serve them in wooden boxes today. I've a weakness for wooden boxes and can't resist buying nice ones. :) The boys' tables and cupboards are full of them. :P

LT's bento, in the box are beef cheese burger with ketchup, nachos and apples. I saw hubby eating a big packet of nachos last night and told him to leave some for the boys' bentos. :)

Polka Dots Ears Bunnies Bento

I think I woke up from the wrong side of the bed today, been feeling really moody and lethargic since morning. The bento did not turned out the way I wanted, but I was
rushing for time, so I just left it. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for me. :)

LT's lunch box, same items as above. I had wanted to use some pink sugar as the bunny's blusher, but they were so difficult to apply. So I gave up and dabbed on some tomato sauce instead, but you can still see some of the pink sugar if you look closely.

Mario Mushrooms Bento

The boys requested for me to make Mario mushrooms today. The words were also requested by them. The mushrooms were quite easy to make, so my bentos were done pretty fast today. Yay!

The boys are having Children's Day celebration in School today. And tomorrow will be a School holiday for them, so this will be my last bento for this week. Happy weekends in advance. :)

Uncle Jam Bento

If you are familiar with Anpanman's cartoon, you will know who is Uncle Jam. Uncle Jam is Anpanman's Daddy. If I'm not wrong, Anpanman is very popular in Japan. Anpanman cartoon is not shown over here, but the boys know quite a few of the characters, because they watched the cartoon in Japan before. We also visited the Anpanman Children's Museum in Yokohama last year. You can see some pictures of the museum in this post if you are interested.

IT's bento, in the box are salmon flavoured rice, cheese hanpen, baked wings, sausage and golden kiwis.

IMG_3698
LT's bento, same items as above, except his box contains no hanpen. He does not like them, he's pretty fussy, does not eat a lot of food.

Batman/Catwoman/Tamagotchi Bento

This bento is made using the same sandwich cutter as this post. This time I've made simplied versions of Batman, Catwoman and Tamagotchi. The colours turned out quite dull though. Hmmm.....

IMG_3678
IT's bento, there's ham/cheese sandwich, nuggets, golden kiwi and strawberries.

Snoopy and Woodstock Bento

The bento today was inspired by my sis's dog. She's really clever, just tell her 'find Snoopy' and she'll pick up her Snoopy soft toy and bring to you. :) So I decided to make Snoopy for the boys' bentos. However, the proportion seems a bit off, can you tell it's Snoopy?? :)

IT's bento, in the box are furikake onigiri, teriyaki meatballs, strawberries and ham.

Snoopy bentos for today. :)

Thanks to a fellow bento Mummy on facebook who shared with me about making the crepe the day before and just heating them up the following morning. I made a batch of crepe last night. This morning the boys had them for breakfast, and I packed a crepe for IT's recess. I still had some crepes left over, so I had them for my lunch and tea.
