Welcome to the next level of bento addiction :P

I can't wait to try all my new gadgets. I just loved the transparent cover bento boxes.

I ordered them from Bento Craft, and i got my parcel within 2 days. very efficient. :)

Bento No. 55 - lil Monkey and Bear go to school

My Boy asked for a Monkey bento so i try making my first Monkey. :)

Make 2 sammies using 2 diff sizes of bear shape cutter.

Place Cheese as the face of the Monkey and bear on top .(I am using bear shape cutters too..very handy tool, its a must have for bentoing)

Added a cap and hat pick for the duo.

Put in only 2 grapes for E, as you notice its a very light bento as he will have his fav fried noodle in school menu today.

I have use the newly added Tomica bento box, E is so excited to see his new bento box.

Bento No. 54 : Happy Valentine ! I see you , You see me

Happy Valentine's Day to all of you! Today I made a simple bento for E.

Using heart shape cutters to make 3 sammies and a few apple hearts. Place Cheese hearts on the sammies and use alphabet cutters for 3 alphabets S E E which represent my hubby and my 2 Es.

I just want to say I love them with all my heart. Thank God for Blessing us and giving me a beautiful family.

Fill up another deck of the bento with some skewers of grapes, starfruits and apples using my new flower/Sakura cutters.

Bento No. 52 & 53- Bentos on Lazy Days

A simple Tuna Sandwich using the pocket sammies cutter. Cut a bear and a rabbit Cheese face and stick it one.

Just use different shape cutters you got to cut mini sammies and use nori cutters to add some facial expression on it.

These are the few bentos that i made during those lazy days (usually Mondays), and i just don't have any bento ideas at that time. Thus i called them lazy bentos. :)

Bento No. 51 - Baby Koala Bear

I have been planning to make a Valentine's Day theme bento, however i got to change to plan B as my prince (ya..E called himself "Prince" yesterday.. i couldn't believe my ears and i make fun of him for the whole day) requested a Koala Bear bento.

However i still place a mini heart on the baby koala, so I think it still count as a
Valentine's bento? :)

I scratched my head and try to imagine how to make a koala from my wholemeal bread.

I pull out my tray of cutters, choose a bear cutter for the face, 2 diff sizes of flower cutter as the ears, oval shape for the body and 2 oblong shape cutters for the arms and legs.

I place a slice of cheese on the sandwich as background for contrast. Carefully arrange the different shapes cut from sammies on the Cheese and pin it down with short spagetti strips.

While Koala Bear needs a tree to hang on, so I use the bread crust that i trimmed just now to recycle as the tree trunk, slot in a few leafy picks.. tata.. a tree is done.

As I run out of E favourite grapes, i added a jello and gummy as a treat.

Bento No. 50 - Three Bears without Goldilock

I have made a Happy Bunny Family bento earlier on, so I thought of making a Bear family this time. Using different sizes of bear shape cutter again to make triple deck ham and cheese sandwich. Pop in a mini honey mandarin orange again and few grapes.
