Bento #13

This week's bento theme is ... Under the Sea. Decided to do a bento-lift and hence set this theme for this week.

6 February 2012

Today is the last day of CNY, 元宵节. As usual, our family will gather to have a meal together. This year, 元宵节 falls on a Monday. To make it easy, we decided to eat out and had chosen Dragon Phoenix Restaurant @ Clarke Quey for dinner. Afraid that dinner may start late and the boys will be hungry, I made bento for the boy and bento-lift the idea I saw before.


1st picture is bento for Oswald and the one below is Owein's box. Everything packed is the same for the boys except for the meat. Oswald have Chicken Karaage and Owein, Fish Fingers. Oswald would prefer chicken to fish and Owein vice versa and that explains the different type of meat packed.

Bento Wednesday!!!

The boys get a 'sea' view with today's bento.


A simple breakfast for Owein this morning. Sandwich with a view ... he got Nutella sandwich + Octodogs (Pork Sausages).


Recess break for Oswald is similar too. But he got Strawberry Jam in his sandwich and got extra snacks - Pineapple Tarts and Gummies.

Made a bonus bento for Oswald today. Not sure why I am in the mood ... just decided to make something nice for Oswald to eat in the car on his way to piano lesson. Consider this as a BONUS for him hehehe.

Presenting ... Missy Octopus as Oswald's meal on the go today.


Missy Octopus is made from ham from an illustration from Yum Yum Bento Book. Rice balls with ham and 1/2 and egg coated with Pork Floss as sea bed and his favorite vegetable Broccoli to fill up the gaps.

'Fishy' business today to end my this week theme.

Owein had requested for a repeat of his Wednesday bento and hence requested granted. P/S: save me some brain juice cos not need to brainstorm what to do.


This time, he wanted peanut butter spread on his bread ... wish granted. Paired with his bread are 2 'Fishy' Pork Sausages and Raisins.

For Oswald, he wanted to bring fruits (Blueberries + Oranges) to school for his weekly Fruits and Vegetables day. In order to ensure he can finish his food fast and eat his fruits, I'd decided to pack a lesser amount of bread and in bite site.


Took out my fish cutter to cut bread in the fish shape and made plans to add details to his fishes. Sort of regretted my decision when I was placing the details this morning. I think I will think twice next time when such details are required in the future. But seriously, I am quite satisfied with the final result. =)


Oh well, that marks the last bento that I am gona make this week. Got to think what theme to use for next week ... time for some brainstorming ...
