Bento #12

Today's snack consist of grapes, potato sprinkle with parmesan cheese and sweet corn. I used monkey food pick for today's snack as this week's theme in class is 'Monkey'. I don't have enough time to try make a monkey for today's snack. Maybe will try wake up early the next time. I put in a set of fork and spoon, thinking that J might want to use if for his corns or potato.

Bento #11

I prepared this today for J as lunch after his weekly enrichment class. He likes eel so hubby bought this when he saw it in supermarket. We usually have when I made sushi as dinner. It's an easy to prepare meal for me as I only need to prepare the sushi rice and steam the eel.


I added pumpkin flakes which I got from Isetan some time ago to the uncooked rice and cooked together till the rice is ready. I steamed the eel and placed it on top of the cooked rice. I also prepared grapes in the side dishes containers. I used food picks to make the grapes look like balloons, rings, umbrellas and flowers. Niece also attracted to them, she arranged the food picks nicely on the table after she finished the grapes.


I used this mini bento set from Tiger as it can keep the rice warm with the thermal cup container. I like this bento set very much so decided to get a set. There're many designs for similar bento set in market. Hubby find this bento set is good and has an insulated carrier so decided to bring this bento set when we going to Hokkaido next month. We can use this to pack food for J, in case he gets hungry when we're on the road.

Bento #10

I bought a pack of ravioli last week, so made some as today's snack. The ravioli consists of mushroom and cheese as the filings. I don't know if J would like the ravioli or not, so I also prepared animal pasta with the ravioli. I added margarine and parmesan cheese to the ravioli and pasta after cooked. We've finished most of the fruits so did not pack any fruit for today's snack.

Today's snack: mushroom and cheese ravioli and edamame.
I packed the food in this shinkansen lunch box with the newly bought bento strap from Daiso. This lunch box does not comes with a bento strap as it comes with a thermal bag and ice pack instead.

Bento #9

I tried use sliced cheese to make the lion for today's snack. I packed strawberries, underneath the lion is quail egg and potato with mayonnaise. I used mini potato instead of those usual size potato, to lessen wastage.

Bento #8

This week theme in J's sch is Lion. I tried to make a lion with pancake and cheese but I don't know how to make the face, ended up looks more like a pig face. To match with the theme I used a lion food pick for the blueberries.

Today's snack consists of blueberries, sweet corn and pumpkin pancake.

Bento #7

We decided to visit our grandma at the last minute so made this for J & ZY. Dont have time to defrost other food, so only prepared eggs with pasta. I tried to use ice cream shape and similar to a mooncake shape egg molds for the hard boiled egg. But I don't have enough time to mold the eggs so the shapes are not obvious. I manage to use some of the new items my hubby got from Taiwan.

I used a 2-tier Hello Kitty lunch box for today's dinner.

Each child gets a tier so both have the same food, hard boiled eggs and Mickey Mouse pasta. I stirred in some margarine to the pasta before I pack them into the lunch box. The yellow and orange containers are japanese mayonnaise for the hard boiled eggs, rabbit furikake bottle contains parmesan cheese for the pasta.

Bento #6

I used the animals cutters hubby got from Taiwan to make koala bear and giraffe corn bread. I buttered the bread and put in sliced cheese for the bread. I made use of pancake and sliced cheese to create an elephant as part of the deco for today's snack box. I don't have enough space for the quail eggs in the box so try to squeeze them in between the food. As no elephant food pick or fork is used for today's snack, I used an elephant printed divider. Just want something to match this week's theme in school. I got some pomelo in the silicon cup for today's fruit.
