Nöm #149- Mom, there's a Caterpillar on my bun!! (20Jul-12)

Went to bed last night with great "motivation" to do really cute animals with intricate details on the hotdog bun (chey.. say only).

Woke up with an entirely different mood :P

Only had to do 1 today (boy has event in school & needs no bento) & I got lazy. Just stamp some nori/cheese and added "tadpoles" to decorate the body.
Yippee.... It's Friday :D

Nöm #148- Nominbox is ONE! (19Jul-12)

It's been a year since I started bento-ing.

It's been such a wonderful experience and hopefully many more "anniversaries" to come as long as my kids still want their momma to pack ♥ ♥ ♥

Nöm #147- Robo-Kuehs (18Jul-12)

Too many girly-themed bentos, making something boyish today o^^o

Kids have yet to complain about getting the same type of staple every week; rice, noodles, bread, but momma is getting bored of packing the same type of food :P

So it shall be kuehs (there is Lapis Sagu, Sagu Melaka & Kueh Salat) & belgium waffles today, with longans & grapes + a nice frozen pack of vitasoy to keep those kuehs nicely chilled till recess ♥

Nöm #143- Candy Nose? (12Jul-12)

Alarm went off, but I was really tired this morning, so I switched it off, slumped back into bed and decided that kids shall eat from canteen today.

Woke up an hour later (feeling much refreshed), felt kinda of guilty as kids had requested for bread today. Rushed to kitchen with intention of fixing them something simple with no decor.

Still can't resist those "itchy" fingers :P
Today's bento is fast and simple. Bears are made of wholemeal bread (with kaya filling), crusts for the ears, food picks for the nose and nori as facial details.

It's been longer days at work this week, guess not much energy left to do "complex" bentos. And whatever little time I have left in the evening after I got home is spent with the kids.

Another day to Friday. Gambatte, everyone! :D

Nöm #142- Japanese Curry Baked Cheese Rice (11Jul-12)

Not much "motivation" these 2 days to do cute characters. And since boy has home-based learning today, and I only need to do 1 bento, decide to do something quick and easy.

Its baked cheese rice today and instead of adding cream sauce, I added Japanese curry into the rice instead. And we have kids' favorite homemade meatballs with grapes at the side.

Nöm #141- Tomato Buddies (10Jul-12)

I will try and give different forms of carbohydrates everyday. Kids had rice yesterday, so it shall be bread today.

Today's bento is actually very simple, just stamp out small circles for eyes/nose + nori.. add on a leave pick, and tadah.

We have corn bread with tuna mayo, cherry tomatoes, grapes and golden kiwi. I usually pack in a packet of frozen milo if I am packing bread for that day. Will give nougats to the kids as treats too =)

Nöm #140- Rocket away.....! (09Jul-12)

Quite a spread today.. black/purple rice, saba fish, stir fry asparagus with garlic & seaweed soup (it's pork/veg soup base).

A totally "warm" meal today, thus no fruits as I can't keep fruits inside the thermos container. The thermos is quite bulky already and I really don't want the kids to carry another separate bag with fruits. They will have their fruits when they are back from school =)

The cheese rocket decor are sitting on ham, and I guess it will melt a little since the container is warm :P Shall ask the kids for feedback tonight.

Nöm #136- Fruit Bats (03Jul-12)

Saw the "watermelons" from a bento book and had always wanted to do it (coz its easy and really cute).
My main subject is actually the watermelons today, but needed something to accompany it. Thus asked my boy for suggestions and he gave bat.

So here we are, Fruit Bats with watermelons today ^^
I thought I should have added fangs for the bats, they look kinda of blur, hee.

Rice balls with fish floss fillings | bacon wrapped carrots/baby french beans | baby corn | cherry tomatoes | golden kiwi
