Furkid on Treadmill!!+Dessert Bento no 38

Dessert bento consists of yummy moist Pandan(Screwpine leaves) Butter cream swiss roll as Furkid with sweet Red Globe grapes in this double tier Pikachu Bento box. Furkid always likes to stick a bit of her tongue out so that's why a bit of grapes skin was used on the butter cream.

Oh dear loads of calories in this bento especially the cream and do you know 25 minutes on the treadmill burns 150 calories only for me guess I have to step up the level...la..yikes!

Furkid on the treadmill!!!

Have a look at the video of furkid on the treadmill "walk walk" indoors. With the hazy weather, sudden rain and all sorts of viruses especially Leptospirosis, Meningitis and Swine Flu or now known as Influenza A(H1N1) is best to do my exercise indoors! with furkid...LOL. Hey my doggy needs her exercise too...or else she will be sulking and pretend to be very sad lying flat down on the floor!*grin*

Have a happy day bento-ing.....

Teddy+Flower Rice moulded bento no 37

Teddy + flower onigiri with half fish shaped egg, prawns, brussel sprouts and carrots.

Make use of the shaped silicon cups on this rice moulded bento with stir fried shelled prawns, brussel sprouts and hard boil egg. Actually this was part of dinner food but ensemble into my new Minnie Mouse bento box for this bento. Filled a little light soya sauce in a cute apple face sauce container for added taste to the half hard boil egg. Details were done with nori and crab stick on the teddy+flower onigiri. Wanted to fill the gaps with lettuce and cherry tomatoes but couldn't find any in the fridge...sigh! Time to go groceries shopping........

Fruits shaped bento no 36

Mangoes and papayas in different shapes in Tomica bento box

Did a mango and papaya fruits bento in my new Tomica bento box which is about 220ml in capacity smaller than the usual ones of 300ml. As you can see from my previous post picture it is not much bigger than a pack of picks! It's kind of small but great as a compliment snack box. Various shapes were cut using miffy, mickey, bear and flower cutters accessorized with lovely picks to beautify the faceless miffi and mickey! LOL!

Happy bento-ing!!

About me! in a bento box no 33

Me, Hub, Furkid, My Garden, Favorite food and Piano Keys.

Finally I found the time to enter Javapot's contest and this will be my entry. It's a caricature cartoon about me with big "goldfish" eyes, hub and furkid...I mean my fluffy dog la! LOL! This was actually for dinner as morning hours are too short to be creative as I need to rush to work. Anyway it took me more than an hour to cook the food and add in the details.

Me in the office busy on the phone and cooking at home.

I was created with steam orange, purple sweet potato for my hair and dress. Body parts made of potato with cheese and nori details. Do you see I have two hairstyles? It is because when I am working in the office I don't tie my hair and quite offen on the phone too. Must also look nice in my "yellow" high heels ..peer pressure ..ha ha.
Back at home is a totally different story got to tie up my hair to cook presto speed in my "carrot wok" and "nori spatula" and be a "si lai" aka wife.
Looks like I have split personality here! LOL!
Carrot, cheese and nori cut outs for hub plus furkid both waiting patiently with growling stomach but obviously hub has to lend a helping hand if not dinner will be extremely late.
Cooked braised chicken with tou foo pok (bean curb) and fried bittergourd with eggs slotted in between the white and brown rice. Can't do any fancy food on working days only speedy simple homecook nutritious food.
I love details and vivid colours as can be seen from my bentos so that is why I like to crochet as well.

My flowery, miniature cactus, edible cucumber little garden.

Close up view of my "little garden" of blooming flowers and mini organic cucumber depicting my interest in plants especially in growing miniature cactus.
Anyone interest in my cactus and cucumber plant do let me know I will try to germinate in a pot for you. Don't worry it's free but off course on success basis ....haha!
As you can see there is an octave of keys on the mini cucumbers and some musical picks on cherry tomatoes which shows my hobby in piano playing as well but sad to say I have not been practising as much like before in my younger days. Really need to cut my nails short.."sigh" and start the keys rolling again!

Pssst.. can you see the sinful dessert on the silicon cup? Yup it's my favorite sweet tooth addiction ie chocolates!! It's chocolate coated almonds with M+Ms on top...yummy. Once in a blue moon ..oklah!

That summarised a short story of my everyday life in a bento box! Here you go Javapot.....

Girl and Boy bento competition no 32

Made this for Susan Yuen's competition earlier and I won 4th place for the entry.

Moulded with brown rice shaped in round balls to form a girl and boy sitting on a bed of coral lettuce, corn and flower carrots. Inside the rice balls are some fried mince chicken which can't be seen. The details on the boy which look like a sailor hat are made of cooked button mushrooms. As for the girl's hair and hat are cooked green capsicum and the face details made of nori,crab stick plus cheese. The tiny details on the hats are from lunch sheet. They are surronded infront by cut oranges, rabbit mangoes and flower watermelon at the back in silicon cups.

Thanks again Susan for the prize.

Pooh Face bento no 29

Garfield and Odie bento 28

CP reminded me that the lunch sheet was approaching expiry date so I decided to do a Garfield bento since the lunch sheet has just the right "orange" colour. Did a sketch of Garfield and Odie then trace out on another piece of paper to make a cut out figure. After that use the paper figure placed on top of the lunch sheet to cut out the shape of Garfield and Odie.


So here's cheeky Garfield gasping poor Odie, that's why Odie is green in colour(lack of O2) rather than brown...LOL! Actually I don't have a brown lunch sheet!

Wishing everyone a HAPPY and OX-PICIOUS CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!

Eggy friends bento meal no 27

Made some kyaraben or charaben ie cute quail eggs bento on my new Mickey and Minnie mouse bento box from 100Yen shop. As you can see from the bento meal the eggs are coloured yellow using tumeric/kunyit powder, brown from dark soya sauce and pink with purple dragon fruit all natural ingredients coloring so it's safe for consumption. Surrounded by blanched carrot, mini corn, cherry tomatoes and mini chinese "pak choy" plus coral lettuce. Expression on the egg face, flowers and stars from punched out nori/seaweed to beautify the bento meal. Oh ya blushing rosy cheeks with a drop of chilli sauce too. Lastly to complete the bento meal with some picks..two semi quavers, mini hearts plus tiny mickey head. Ta..da...finito!

Pooh+Kitty pineapple tarts bento 26

After moulding and before baking Winnie the Pooh and Hello Kitty pineapple tarts.

Tried out the Winnie the Pooh and Hello Kitty vegy cutter to make a mould for pineapple tarts. Kind of sticky the dough so a bit difficult to get a perfect shaped face or maybe I should have added more flour but it might make the pastry too dry. Anyway the conventional method of doin the tarts is much faster. Lol!

End results after baking the pineapple tarts.
