Bento #3 - Under the Sea

Did a series of Themed bentos at the beginning of the year and this is one of it.

Dinner for the boys on 元宵节. Lifted an idea which I saw before.


The one above is for Oswald and below is Owein's box. Everything packed is the same for the boys except for the meat. Oswald have Chicken Karaage and Owein is Fish Fingers. Oswald would prefer chicken to fish and Owein vice versa and that explains the different type of meat packed.

The boys' 'sea' view bento.


Sandwich with a view ... Nutella sandwich + Octodogs (Pork Sausages) for Owein


Strawberry jam sandwich + Octodogs + Pineapple Tarts and Gummies for Oswald.

******************************

A bonus bento for Oswald to eat on the way to music class. Presenting ... Missy Octopus.


Missy Octopus is made from ham from an illustration from Yum Yum Bento Book. Rice balls with ham and 1/2 an egg coated with Pork Floss as sea bed and his favorite vegetable Broccoli to fill up the gaps.

'Fishy' business today to end the theme.

Owein had requested for a repeat of his previous bento and hence requested granted. P/S: save me some brain juice cos not need to brainstorm what to do.


This time, he wanted peanut butter spread on his bread ... wish granted. Paired with his bread are 2 'Fishy' Pork Sausages and Raisins.

For Oswald, he wanted to bring fruits (Blueberries + Oranges) to school for his weekly Fruits and Vegetables day. In order to ensure he can finish his food fast and eat his fruits, I'd decided to pack a lesser amount of bread and in bite site.


Took out my fish cutter to cut bread in the fish shape and made plans to add details to his fishes. Sort of regretted my decision when I was placing the details this morning. I think I will think twice next time when such details are required in the future. But seriously, I am quite satisfied with the final result. =)
