I used a smiley face furoshiki (cloth napkin) to wrap the bento and cutlery.

Keroppi Plate

Saw this plate from a shop in OUB Center, Trendy Hub. It has some cute stuff in the shop. It's a bento style plate, J didnt have such plate, so I decided to get one for him. I also got a matching spoon to go with the plate.

Pooh Bear Cutters

I have a set of Hello Kitty cutters, like it so much that I bought the Pooh Bear cutters too. I used the cutters on bread this morning.

Hello Kitty Fishcake

J & ZY met up to go for a class party today. So I made lunch for ourselves with some of the new food I got over the weekend. I saw supermarket sell sweet beancurd skin for sushi, so got a pack to try out to see if J likes it. I saw Hello Kitty fishcake in Takashimaya cold storage so got a pack to make the food interesting. I used bear and star shape cutters to cut the carrots.
Since ZY & J likes quail eggs, i decided to include into today's bento for them. Both boxes consist the same food. The 1st sushi consist of crab sticks, rice and decorate with bear & star carrot as topping. The 2nd sushi consist of carrots, rice and Hello Kitty fishcake. I used beancurd skin for both sushi. I pack the remaining carrots and quail eggs in the silicon cups.
This is the adults' bento. Both boxes consist the same food. The sushi consist of rosemary chicken and I decorated the sushi with Hello Kitty fishcake. I marinated the chicken with rosemary herbs and all purpose seasoning, and pan fry with margarine. The herbs can easily found in supermarkets.

After Class Snack

I prepared snacks for myself n J. J starting his new class today, the class will end near his dinner time. So prepared this snack for both of us to eat before we go home.

I packed mixed veg and tomato flavour biscuits, quail eggs and grapes. I decorated the quail eggs with seaweed using a face nori puncher I got in the Hello Kitty rice mold set.

Not in pic: I also packed a damp hand towel for J to clean his hands after eating.

Hello Kitty Breakfast

I made use of a Hello kitty pan to make Hello Kitty egg for my boy. I decorated the egg with mayo for the face features. The Hello Kitty bread is supposed to be 3D but I flatten the bread too much, so becomes sleeping Hello Kitty. I have some cream cheese in a small bowl for him to dip the bread.

Simple Packed Lunch

We went to zoo this morning but I woke up late so prepared easy-to-cook food to pack as our lunch for the outing.

I made curry made from Vermont japanese curry cubes. I boiled the chicken carrots till cooked then add in cabbage and the curry cubes, the curry is ready within 1 hour. I packed the curry in a leak proof tupperware container instead of the usual lunch boxes I have as I don't want to risk having a curry scent cooler bag. I packed rice in the red lunch box for my boy decorated with powdered seaweed using one of the stencil I have. I sprinkled some furikake over a bear outline stencil for the rice in the pink lunch box for my hubby and Korean glass noodles which I got from a Korean supermarket in Singapore. The glass noodle can be found in usual supermarket nowadays. I packed hubby's and mine lunch in the 2-tier Hello Kitty lunch box. To maintain the curry to be hot or at least warm, I packed all the food in a Hello Kitty cooler bag. I also freeze 2 bottles of water and packed them in another cooler bag so we have cold drinks for the hot weather.
