Bento Creation #37

I think this is the most satisfied bento that I had done. :) Its Elmo!

Elmo Bento

Too bad when I m home, Ann didn't eat the bento and I keep asking her why why why? I so sad that it wasted my heart & time preparing for her.

Ann:" That's too much, I m so full!"
Me:" Where got much? Why are you so full?"
Ann:" I ate 'lotus biscuit', yeh yeh bought for me from pasar!"
Me:" Next time those snacks cannot eat before school!"

I believed if she didn't take the snacks before school, sure she will finish the bento of mine. :) Hubby asked me do not force her and scold her if she didn't eat. He worried next time she will throw away or give to her friend eat just because scare scolding by me. I m not scolding her actually but just to find out why she didn't not want to eat. :) Explaining which is good & healthy food and which is rubbish snacks to her. Taken too much snack is very unhealthy to her too. Hope she will improve her eating habbits!

 Treasurebag (egg in Inari)

Rilakuma Bento

The treasure bag is hard to make. Will try again next round. When I am home, Ann finished the Rilakuma with the rice but she only ate the egg but not the inari skin from the treasure bag. When I was asking her why not you eat the inari skin?

Ann:" 那个这么烂怎样吃哦？"

I was laughing at myself that time. :) Mummy still learning, be patient and mummy can do better next round!

Ann can't finished all. The rice is too much for her. She said the portion is too big. Perhaps one portion is enough for her at this moment.:)

Blueberry Muffin

Today bento rest day to me. Coz Ann didn't go to school and I m working half day too. But after work, I tried on the new small rice cooker from Toshiba to bake muffins.

Ingredients:
Muffin Mix
4 eggs
140ml Corn oil
115ml Water
Blueberry fillings

 Ready to bake

 Done!

With rainbow colors

Mix well with all ingredient and its ready to be bake for 45 minutes. Just simple & easy. Taste not bad but feel that the filling is not enough & I forgot to top up with some nuts so that it will be more yummy! Try again next time!

Bento Creation #28

Rice bento is challenging. But today I try on a simple one. Filled up the rice as carpet 1st. Then I do the grilled egg for Minnie. Egg white & egg yolk need to cook separately to get the color nicer. :)

 Minnie Bento

 The egg white is not even so a bit weird looking!

Hot Dogs + Sauce for the rice!

Bento Creation #27

Bento for today is little bit more. Yaki Udon, spinach (Ann do not eat), quail egg & hot dogs.

 A simple one

 Mini rabbit face on quail egg + Crab hot dog

My 1st Mickey bread bento doesn't look alike. And my sis commented the it look so cacat. This time I improved. Hehe:)

Does it look more alike? Actually small items and the details is more difficult to do. :) That's very challenging making it real & really look alike. :) 

Bento Creation #25

Bread is always Ann's favorite. Just simple one but she willing to finished all.

Bento Creation #24

Ann requested macaroni again. Today I added up with mushroom & brocoli. 

Macaroni , Potatoes fr Hokkaido + Strawberry Milk

Too bad, Ann told me that she do not like the mushroom. She didn't finished the bento today. Perhaps this frozen mushroom is not nice to her but initially she love mushroom very much. However, I m glad to hear or listen to her opinion on the food or bento I prepared for her. To know more her eating habits and improve her habits too.
