Bentos # 102, 103, 104

Bento # 102 - for Girlet. Tried to fashion a small charsiew pau and two pieces of fishpaste/ seaweed roll into a dog, with dismal results *sigh*. How did I pass art exams last time? Anyway, my mum gave me some mini papayas from her tree, and they were the perfect size for bentos. I halved 2 papayas and they just evolved into a man. Added edamame for some green as we're out of lettuce. Babylet had the rest of the papayas for brunch.
Bento #103 was for Boylet. He started classes in a new nursery, and they serve mainly fruits at snack time. It must be insufficient for Boylet as he would gobble down his lunch when he's home. On one hand I'm happy that he's eating lunch unlike last year where I have to either persuade, bribe, threaten or force him to have lunch. On the other I'm afraid he's starving. Am hoping that his appetite is growing as he's getting older. Fortunately many of the kids bring their own snacks, so he's not so adversed to a snack bento for himself. I tried to make a bunny out of the mini pau & grapes, and a flower out of jelly & edamame.
Bento # 103 was a breakfast bento for d'Hubby. Consisted of pancakes with maple syrup and mandarin oranges. The pancakes were just too plain and I couldn't resist adding facial features. A first cutesy bento for d'Hubby. All the container were too small to store the maple syrup, so made do with a silicon cup covered with a clingwrap.

Pancakes for breakfast

The kids had pancakes for breakfast on Sunday morning. Kelloggs brand Animal Pancakes. So nice, anyone knows where to buy moulds like these?

I think have four designs : elephant, gorilla and hippo, as shown below. Also have lion. The boylet liked it so much, he asked for it again this morning. But he would only eat it with butter, no maple syrup, chocolate or jam. Strange boy, huh? Don't talk about vegetables, nobody believed that I have to chase him around to convince him to eat chocolate cake!!! So have to resort to novelty items like this. He has been eating better since I got the cookie/sandwich moulds, egg moulds, fancy pasta shapes, etc...... so can consider them as good investments...... and nope, did not write this to justify my purchases.... hehe...
