Today's snack bento was pretty quick to prepare. I stuffed thin slices of spam inside the onigiri and decorated with Hello Kitty shaped thin layer rice on the top. To make the thin layer rice, you just need to put rice between two plastic cling wraps and use roller pin to flatten the rice. After that, press with a small cutter to get the Hello Kitty's head shape. Press softly the cutter on the onigiri then put the thin layer rice on the top, so the thin layer rice can stick properly.Onigiri boxes are fun to use. They come with different sizes, colorful, and sometimes with cute character on the lid. Those 2 in the pictures are pretty small, just perfect for the kids.
Inside the other box : fried chicken drumlettes, green tomato & cucumber, and strawberries.

This has got to be the most creative looking bento ever. I just started getting into it and hopefully with enough time, patience and hard work I'll create something worthy of bento.
Hi! I love your blog and the bento boxes you made for your kids are beautiful! I have this pan in Mickey mouse pattern but I just couldn't made the pancake as good looking as yours, would you mind sharing your batter recipe? thanks!

@siudow : Thanks a lot! I don't even make my secret ingredients for the pancake. For busy morning, I just use a pack of Homestyle Pancakes from Pillsbury hehehe ... :D
