Bento #02 : Doggy Bento

My second bento was using the same food as bento no 1, but with different decoration. I also liked the simple bento. I would only have to cut a circle cheese (even that was done by puncher) and stick sausage as the dog ear. How I love doing something almost effortless but with big impact. Cinderella definitely thought this dog was cute. But she kept asking, "Mommy, where is the bear?"
Obviously she was quite impressed with the first Bento. Hee hee.

Bento # 01 : Beary Cute Bento

There's always the first thing for everything. This was my first bento. I am very excited about it. I bought 4 bento book from Japan and I can't stop drooling over the books. I want a bento that is not too complicated for several reasons:
1. I am a bento beginner
2. Cinderella is still the most important thing in my life to me. I don't want spending hours and hours of bento decorating and neglect my baby girl.
But still, the bento has to look cute to catch her attention.
Thus my choice for the very first bento lies to this Beary Cute Bento. It is soooo simple to make (with nori puncher on my hand). I would only have to make two burgers, one is bigger (as the head) and one is smaller (for the ears). I loveeeee the simplicity.


Please pardon my photograph. I really need to learn how to take picture beautifully. This is done by a pocket camera with minimum lighting.

Cinderella was so thrilled to see her first bento. She ate everything! The food decoration only took me 10 minutes. Everybody was happy =)
Oh yes, I must admit that this is not a real bento, since I used plate instead of lunch box. Still, I think the art of bento can be applied everywhere, not only for lunch box. Won't you agree? =)
