Bentolicious #135
I always wanted to make Disney Cuties characters since long time ago but always forgot about it. So today I made one. I chose Minnie Mouse for my daughter's bento. When she was younger, she loved to watch Disney movies. But now although she still watch Disney Channel but her orientation has changed to the teen Disney movies like the Camp Rock and Hanna Montana. So before she say NO to Minnie Mouse, I decided to make Minnie bento for her.

Minnie Mouse was made of egg sheet and nori. I wanted to use cheese instead of egg sheet but it was just impossible for me to do that. I think the cheese will melt quickly because this week is quite sunny and hot day after last week rainy days. I hope all of you don't get bored to see my bento because I often use egg sheet to make a character. I added ume somen and egg flowers for decoration too. I was inspired by Sheri's ume somen bento. So far, I found 4 colors for somen : regular somen (off white), cha somen (green), ume somen (pink) and egg somen (yellow).
Inside the dark green box : crispy fried chicken, lemon, carrots, grape tomatoes, stir fry cauliflower & chayote, and mun tofu.
I linked this bento up for What's For Lunch at Shannon's blog.
Many bento friends has joined up the Pink October event organized by Bento Blog. You can check all the links here.
