More on the things I bought at Daiso, Singapore

My ex-colleague complained that she can't visualise the things I bought at Daiso. Gave her my standard reply "too many, too lazy", but she's not settling for that. Since I'm not lugging all my things over to her house, and she doesn't want to drive so far to mine.... I've gotta concede to the 8 months pregnant lady. So this post is for you, LS.

Small snack box.
Various picks -plastic, wooden, animal / fun shapes.

Small forks and spoons - animal shapes.

Sausage cutter - cut a tulip shape in the sausage. Heart and Star egg mould - see earlier posts.

Various cookie cutters, can use to cut bread, pancake, eggs etc.

Plastic transportation cutters. I have used it on bread, see this link..


Plastic heart and star cookie cutter of varying sizes.

More dinosaur cutters for the boylet.... I already owned a few. My defense was these are of different sizes. And the boylet insisted that the top one is an Iguanodon, which we didn't have yet.


Mini metal cutters - can also use to cut carrots, cucumber etc

Stencils - eg. remove the plastic bear face, then scatter meat floss, seaweed, sesame seed etc to form a shape of bear on white rice. For my super picky boylet. Got 3 pics, bear, bunny and elephant.

Tamagoyaki pan - for frying eggs (rolled up to form a pinwheel). Because of its rectangular shape, useful for rollups, as compared to a round frying pan. Besides eggs, can make pancakes rolls/ pinwheels.

Small containers for butter, mayonnaise, ketchup, or other thicker sauce....

Food cups in various shapes, colours, and materials. Check out the silicon ones which was used for the jelly in earlier post. Those can be used in the oven for baking cupcakes.

Food dividers - put between food so they don't come in contact with each other. Also to prettify the bento box.

Oshibori - wet towel and case, for wiping hands.


Plastic disposable plates - just because so cute, mah....


Cutting sheet - with measurement on it. Now I can cut my maki / rolls into equal sizes.... hehe...
I bought the hamtaro mouse design, while my sis got the pig.

Bento belts - elastic bands for bento boxes.

Silicon Moulds for pancakes or eggs. Put in on the frying pan, pour your pancake mix or crack an egg into the mould, and there you have it.... a pancake / egg in the shape of the mould.

Now some boring stuff....... food wrap / polystrene wrap of various sizes.

Anti-bacterial sheets - to keep food from going bad.

Also got some small containers for liquid sauce, but couldn't find them at photo time. The kids probably thought that they are toys for them to play with.... hehe...they do look like toys.

That's the gist of it. LS, you're going to be busy with the new baby the next few months, but hopefully you can find time to make bento for WW. *_*

Daiso loot

Early last week, I went back to Johor, and of course must pop over to Singapore for a spot of Bento shopping. Dragged my sis to Daiso in Plaza Singapura, and here is what we ended up with ~ 100 items ~ consists of cookie/vege cutters, silicon molds, rice molds, pancake molds, egg molds, silicon cups, plastic sidedish cups, cute forks n spoons, picks of various designs, bento belts and bags, sauce container and bottles, various dividers, and a tamagoyaki pan each. My dear sis blame me for enabling her...... hey, you've got your craft stuff as well, didn't you?

Anyway, what a loot!! And at SGD 2 each, they're a real steal too. Saw most of these things going for at least USD 2.99 each on ebay, and that's not including the shipping costs!!! For basic bento stuff, nothing beats Daiso. Other than the variety, the quality is also better than those in the 100 yen shops here in Klang Valley, eg. the tamagoyaki pan.

As for cutie character stuff, that'll be covered in the next post. Right now, I'd better go put the kids to bed. Poor kiddos, I've been busy figuring out this blogging thing today, and have severely neglected them. Sorry my darlings.
