Bento #5

Today's snack is strawberries, grapes and sweet potato. I tried to make elephants with egg white and egg yolk, I secure the ears, eyes and truck with cream cheese. Dont know if it still look like this after transportation.

This week's theme in school is elephant so I tried to make elephants and used elephant food pick and fork.

Bento #4

I packed transportation theme almond jelly in the silicon cup, apple sausages and mickey mouse pasta in the Thomas & friends lunch box. I buttered the pasta after cooked and sprinkle furikake.

Jelly

I made these for J's upcoming snack, so that I have something else to alternate with fruits. I got those pre-mix almond jelly powder. i prefer to use silicon jelly as the jelly will be easy to remove from the molds. The blue and pink 4 in 1 molds are from Daiso which I got recently. I like the size of the molds as it give me bite sizes jelly.

Bento #3

Today's snack consist of the usual fruit grapes, edamame and quail egg. I tried the quail egg mold for a smiley face quail egg but unsuccessful. I left the cooked quail egg in the pot for too long and it became not hot enough to be molded.

Bento #2

This Thomas lunch box is bought by hubby when he went Taiwan. It's actually a 2-tier lunch box but I only used one tier for today's snack. It has a separators that can be removed, the other tier has no separation. What I like about this lunch box is the lid is secure, need no elastic band to secure it. Hubby said the lunch box is on offer when he bought, it's only S$5 for a 2-tier Thomas & Friends lunch box.

I used a small star cookie cutter and made star multi-grain bread with cream cheese. I used star sprinkle to decorate the bread. I used a octopus weiner for the apple sausage to make it looks like an octopus and pasted seaweed as the eyes. But the octopus lost the eyes during the transportation. As I have a big pack of grapes so will pack grapes often for J's snack bento and it's one of his favourite.

Bento #1

I ran out of titles for my blog entries, so I'm going to title them by numbers from now. Lazy to go back to previous posts to start numbering.

This is snack bento I prepared for J this morning. He's starting a new class this term and have to prepare snacks for him for the new class.
I used the food picks that made the grapes look like ring, balloon and flower. Multi grain bread with cheese. They are cut into shapes and print of vehicles.

Great Thanks to Bento Pet

Great thanks to Bento Pet who got these for me from Malaysia, I love them all. Bento Pet and her friend Emily organsied a Bento Party in Malaysia and asked me to get some bento items for her from Daiso. She gave me these as gift, so nice of her.


The items shown are 2 sets of rabbit and bear egg molds and 2 sets of fish and car egg molds. Furikake in cute bottles; smiley faces punchers; weiners. Underneath the items are Lock & Lock chopping board sheet.

Knowing that my sister in law is a egg mold lover, she included 2 sets of egg molds each, isn't it sweet of her.
