Bentolicious #072
Andrew had his swimming mid-test at school this morning. To show some supports for him, I made this froggies bento. Hope he could swim fast with his frog style, breast stroke. The little froggies were made from cucumber and the faces were decorated from crab stick and carrot. Put the froggies on the top of the rice. I used the 2 tiers round box this time. The size of the top tier (green) is smaller than the bottom tier (blue). Inside the top tier : raspberries, tenderloin beef cooked with salted black bean and onion, and stir fry veggies (chayote, corn, baby corn).

Hi Lia,

Chanced upon your blog and loved all the cute bentos you made! :)

Can I check with you, how do u cut the froggies' hands? Is it by cutter too?

Tks for sharing all your tips too! I learnt so much reading them! :)

God Bless!

@tona-mama : Thanks a lot Tona for your kind comment! I was cutting the froggies' head with small bear cutter, for their hands with small round cutter then cut freehand at the edge like tulip shapes. Hope this will help :)

@Angeleyes : Thanks a lot! Using cutters helped me so much in saving time to prepare these froggies :)

@javapot : Thanks a lot Javapot! Very appreciate your effort to post your comment here. Probably my blog got wet because those froggies were splashing the water hahaha ... :D
