I finally get to make my very first ever bento boxes. I had to make three because I have three little cousins. I've decided that I'll make them once or twice every week as a special treat.My aunty told me that my cousin's lunch usually does not get eaten,but they prefered to buy something from the canteen, so hopefully this will help get them to eat their lunch.
Sports balls bento box - Stuffed rice balls with saute pork mince. I've used tomato sauce for the colour.
Tigers Bento Box - Since I'm making these bento at the same time I've decided that they will all have the same stuffing (hehe that's what we had for dinner)
I've also coloured the tigers in tomato sauce and add some fried fish eggs for tiny side dish.
Two little pigs - It was a challenge when I've tried to colour the pigs using boiled red cabbage with a dash of vinegar, the colour before added to the rice was pink, but when I've added to the rice it didn't turn out to be very pink and the rice tasted a wee bit sour (but my lil cousin didn't notice it :p). I've also had some trouble with the cheese as I use the large straws to make the noses and ears, it keeps breaking and the cheese stuck inside the straws. Anyway it took a while but i finally got it right.
Well the verdicts? it was a hit, nothing left in the three lunch boxes and there's requests for more.
I am going to sign out now and will attempt more bento next week.
PS: I've got all the inspiration from the "yum-yum Bento box" book and the website.
Happy bentoing :) Hieng G
