Minion and Agnes

Weeks had passed without any posting (ouch...) I am concentrating on projects in hand.

During the past weeks, my big boy asked me "mommy, could you do a Minion bento for my lunchbox by tomorrow? because my friends said they wanna see it" I just said yes to him.

Previously, I did a Minion bento once, in here. I was thinking to do a different way.

Inside the box:

* Yellow egg sheet and purple egg sheet (made from white egg colored with one drop of food coloring) on top of white steamed rice

* For facial expression, decorated with cheese sheet and nori sheet

* Green squash, steamed

* Lap cheong

* Mini tomato

Too bad, I was running out of blue food coloring and use purple instead. 

I guess it is a sign that I need to do it one more time with blue color!

 

By the other day, it was my girl whom requested Agnes bento

So, here it is

Inside the box:

* Brown onigiri, with facial expression resembling Agnes, using cheese sheet and nori sheet. For cheek blushes, I used ketchup. For brownish face color, I mixed white rice with few drops of sweet soy sauce.

I also stuffed some chicken floss inside the onigiri, since I did not plan to stuff some more meat inside the box.

* The hair was done with halved-chikuwa wrapped with nori and red-kani, resulting in her hair to stand-up. I just had an easy cuts on nori, to create hair's natural look. I pinned the chikuwa to onigiri in using some pieces of angel hair pasta. I expect the ponytail will stay-put until miss L opens her lunch! 

* The rest of box's filler are tamagoyaki, green squash, kani sticks, red and orange bell pepper, also two mini tomatoes.

I got the comments already.

"mommy, it is so cute...my friends also love it...!"

~~> Mission accomplished  \^,^/

Hello Kitty Apple

Hi there,

A talented friend of mine, Meilita, is right now enjoy herself in baking cute Japanese deco roll cake. While seeing her works, I found the web of Ochikeron's. And this bento was inspired by her work in here.

 

 

What's inside:

*HK onigiri using hellokitty rice mould, completed with punched nori for eyes and whiskers. Also red bell pepper for her ribbon.

*Pan-fried tiger prawn, wrapped with bacon, in butter lemon.

*Stuffed red bell pepper with minced chicken. Flavoured with salt pepper and garlic powder. On top of minced chicken is cheese sheet and few black sesame seeds.

*Blanched broccoli

*Mango pudding in clear cup.

For stuffed bell pepper, I just pan fried for each side until brownish, then added few spoonful of water and covered the pan, until water was gone (to steam it). 

It smells wonderful.

In early days, I have made her some Hello Kitty bento, as with chicken nugget, christmas edition, missing her whiskers, on top of sandwich, in pink color and HK stencil

I enjoy so much in making HK bento since myself a big fan.

Happy lunch :)
