Bento No. 14 - Toy Story : The Little Green Men






I always tried to make some different bentos during weekends when I have more free time.
This Sunday I planned to make the Little Green Men with Quail Eggs. I love Buzz light year and these green Aliens from Toy Story.
After picking up tips on how to colour the Quail eggs from other Bento mums, I give myself a try.
I grab some food colouring from my Mum's kitchen, as she has tonnes of this as she is a home professional baker.
Dip some blue and green colour in seperate bowl of plain water, keep rotating the eggs.

It turn out a nice green for the head and Blue for the outfit for the Little Green Men.
However, I did not cut the black dots for the eyes as I am rushing to go out.
So it does not look perfect like in the picture as i intially planned.

My Boy ate all of them while I clear the left overs of the Quail eggs.

After this bento, E starts to request a Theme for his next Bento. He asked for Buzz Lightyear and Woody.

Oh dear, I better start prepare for my next challenge. :)

I realised sometimes when I upload the my pics on my blog, the pic rotate vertically, but i cant find the function to rotate it back, any advice anyone?

    First visit to your awesome blog..so pretty & nice.I love the header logo picture on top of the page...so many adorable animals. Love it.
    For the rotation problem, I think you will need to rotate the photo before you upload to the post.

    My boy asked me to make the villain in the Toy Story. I dont know whats its name, it looks like Darth Vader in Star Wars.

  8. Those little green men are so kawaii!
    I am never good with eggs and since my son don't really like to eat hard boiled eggs, I seldom include in his bento. He likes sunny side up as he likes to lick the gooey yolk!

  11. Angeleyes : Thanks for the compliment! My boy doesnt eat hard boiled eggs too, so i tried quail eggs and let him dip some soy sauce and he loves it since then. since your son eat sunny side up, so doesnt matter its hard boiled or fried. :)
