Bento #1 - Reminiscing 2011

I shall being my bento blogging with some bentos that I'd made in the past. Picking only those that I am satisfied to share here ...


Packed this bento for my boys for dinner. We had to attend a cousin's wedding this day and the boys get to tag along.

Their dinner comprised of:-

1) Chicken Karaage - store bought, frozen ones very convenient indeed.
2) Pumpkin Onigiri - used Japanese pumpkin for this and it gives a very nice yellow color to the rice.
3) Broccoli, Carrots, Baby Corn and Quail Eggs as space fillers and garnish.

ANGRY BIRDS!!!

My daring attempt and luckily responds turned out well and are well accepted by the kids. Made these for a BBQ party with some friendly neighbors at my place.

Char Siew sauce is used to dye the rice red, egg yolks to make it yellow and edamame for the green.

Had been packing nice food for my boys and thought it would be unfair for the biggest boy (my hubby) hence found a chance to pack food for him to bring work one day ...

Hmm .. too cute to be a man's bento? LOL, not too sure about it. All I know is hubby's box was empty when he brought home ;p

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!!!

Made this for the boys on National Day 2011.

Used Char Siew Sauce to dye the rice red. Cheese for the wordings and symbols on the rice. Self made some flags and the National Day 2011 slogan to add on to the mood.

I did a series of Halloween bentos during Halloween week in 2011. Found all these ideas from our friendly search engine GOOGLE.

Hmm ... guess I was still picking up skills in 2011 and hence got nothing much to 'show off' :P Other than those above, I was not so please with the rest that I had made.
