I’ve just recently developed a craze for Bento and the reason is because I am trying to get my daughter to eat more greens. Being a totally uncreative person, I have to find inspiration from You Tube and Japanese Bento blogs. However, one person who inspires me a lot is a good friend of mine who runs Bentofun dot info (though it’s list on my sidebar). Psst…not linking her blog coz I’m not proud of my “artwork”, else she would hop over here to see my post. LOL.
I have not invested in many Nori punchers because there are no smiley punchers available at our 100 yen outlet here. So, some of the cutting had to be done with knife and they looked awful. Wish I had gotten them from Daiso when I was in KL.
I decided to prepare these lunch boxes today because both the kids were coughing and the lunch today at their tuition school consist of fries and nuggets.
For the girl
For the boy
Just realized that the cheese which I shredded to use as “earth” for the trees/plants do not really show up in the pics as the colour is too light. Must remind myself to replace them with ham the next time to add more colours. Also did not have time to take close up pics of the Octo and Mouse sausages which I made.
All in all, it took me two hours to complete everything. That was truly taking up too much time. Must improve on timing and skills.
