Bento No. 34 - The Mummy & Frankenstein

To continue with the Halloween Frenzy, I made another Halloween themed bento.

The two star of the day are Mummy and Frankenstein.
My Boy knows what a Mummy is as he watched the movie " Mummy Returns" , but he never seen Frankenstein. Well, its pretty normal as no kids will like to watch horror movie Frakenstein. haha..

He take it as The Hulk, which I don't blame him. They are pretty similar.
Sheri has made a Frankenstein bento too , and it is not scary at all, too cute!


Strips of cheese are layout randomly on the surface of the sandwich as bandage of the Mummy and 2 M & M's as the eyes.

As for Frankenstein, I cut a piece of the homemade Pandan Chiffon cake. Nori and cheese for the eyes and mouth. 2 green jewel picks as the bolt on both sides of the neck.

Its pretty simple to make actually.

On the top layer of the bento, I cut 2 piece of steamed purple sweet potato into Bats, some grapes and cherry tomotoes.

Have posted this bento over at Shannon's WFLW this week.
