Bento # 25 - Hello Kitty

Today's bento had the Hello Kitty onigiri again - trying to clear the frozen stash. Didn't dye the eggs this time because wanted to make white rabbits. But after struggling with the first rabbit, whereupon I tore the egg white while stuffing the carrots ears in, decided to turn the other two eggs into chicks instead. Also cut out star carrots to complement the star chicken nuggets. Edamame made up the green component of the bento.

Look simple right? But this bento took me waaay too long to make, almost an hour. That was because I'm a zombie today after a sleepless night. First, struggled to put babylet to sleep. "Mummy! mouth pain pain. Mummy put meyson." That's for calling her weird because her molars grew before the canine. Guess what? As a revenge, her top canine teeth chose to make a showing too. So three molars peeping out and 2 swollen gums, added up to a really whiny baby. To make matter worse, at 2.30 am, d'hubby woke me up because of a stench in the room. Sure enough, the boylet peed and pooed in bed while sleeping last night. He's really regressing. After cleaning him up, the mattress and washed his pajamas, I was left turning and tossing, unable to sleep again until 5 in the morning. So good night everyone. I'm turning in now - with or without the babylet. Sleep well and sweet dreams!

Bento # 18

Two weeks ago, a fellow blogger, Angeline informed me about the Hello Kitty kamaboko in Jusco Midvalley. Since then, I had been dropping in Midvalley periodically to no avail. Anyway, I was in 1U to buy a present and on a whim, checked out the Jusco there. To my delight, they had two packs left. Very clear sign that I'm meant to buy them, right? RM12 price tag regardless. Hehe.... can you hear me clapping my hands with glee..... Thanks Angeline (Sorry, can't access your blog to thank you directly).

So yesterday's bento was wonton noodles topped with Hello Kitty kamaboko and carrots. Fried wonton, boiled wonton and sweet peas on the left. (Both type of wontons are part of my stash in the freezer.)

For dessert, Girlet got a custard tart and cherries. Notice the teeth mark on the tart? Girlet couldn't resist having a taste first. It ended up as a Hello Kitty day with all Hello Kitty boxes, sauce container, wet cloth, cutleries and bag.

Bento # 8 - Sandwiches using Hello Kitty Cookie Cutters

More new toys. Cut out sandwiches using the Hello Kitty Cookie Cutters. The imprints are really nice. I put in the above pic to show the various cutters. Have another 2 of the bigger sandwiches, oval and star shape, not shown. Was eaten before I took the photo, and I ran out of bread, so couldn't make more.

The actual lunch taken to school is as below. Added some Hello Kitty cookies to add interest. The sandwiches were filled with cream cheese and kaya. Yum. The girlet noticed that both the side cups were cat shaped . Didn't think she was that observant. Her teacher said that she always look mon-cha-cha, hehe.... Her parents would probably look worse than her if we were to attend a chinese kindergarten. At least she's picking up mandarin, though still speak like angmoh. *_*

Bento # 7 - Hello Kitty rice mould set

Have new toys, must play right? So this is the product using the Hello Kitty rice mould set. Turned out quite well. The girlet was most impressed. I offered to make for the boylet too, but he refused. Still he looked a bit green when he saw this....... oopsie...



The main compartment has steamed eggrolls (fishpaste and ham fillings), green pandan and milk jelly, and hello kitty carrots. Girlet ate everything except the capsicum bow and flower.

More loot from Singapore

Bought these cute stuff from the shop in Chinatown Point. Spent more than SGD100, so am now a member, ie. future purchases have 10% off. Yay!

This is a silicon cake/pudding/jelly mould. Is oven safe. There is a similar mould for Winnie the Pooh, but out of stock.

These are vegie/cookie cutters. So cute right? I'm eyeing those with Tigger and Piglet. Read somewhere that Carrefour Plaza Singapura has, but didn't find any when I went.

My dear sis, can you please go check at BHG Bugis when you are free. Thanks!

I tried them on carrots. Works well. But don't slice carrot too thin, or the cutter will cut through, as can see from the broken HK's neck on top.

The kiddos were very impressed, but didn't eat any cos too cute. That defeated the purpose, didn't it? Hmm.....
More Hello Kitty cookie/sandwich/pancake cutters.

Also bought a Hello Kitty pancake pan. I had actually seen something similar being sold in KL for RM20+, but didn't get it. Now couldn't find it anymore. Talk about regret. Ended up having to pay double of that.
This is a Pikachu rice mould. After buying so many girlie Hello Kitty stuff, must balance with some boyish things ~_~ And lastly, my favourite. A complete set of Hello Kitty rice mould, nori and vegie cutter. Rice mould to shape the face. Nori cutter (which works like paper punch) for the face features -HK eyes, HK whisker & rabbit nose/mouth. Vegie cutter for cutting out HK's bow (from red capsicum), My Melody's flower and bear's ears.
