Bentolicious #177
2 more days for the kids to practice at school and at home before their spelling bee contest on Saturday. We have been doing so much practice at home in the afternoon. Anything can happened on Saturday but I really hope the kids will do their best. I made a 'spelling' bee for their bento. The bee looks a bit dizzy, maybe it suffers from too much spelling practice LOL :D Instead of 1 hour lunch time. The kids will only have 30 minutes lunch time today because the English teacher will have some tests for them to prepare for the contest. Hope they can finish their lunch quick. Kids were asking for fried rice bento but hey ... Mommy didn't have that 'blank' day anymore this morning, so fried rice bento will be served next time. Inside the boxes : steamed rice, stir fry Chinese spinach and corns, fried egg, pan fried chicken with oyster sauce, mun tofu, and cherry tomatoes.

Lia, am sure your kids will pass their spelling bee contest and the dizzy bee looks so cute!

I love your egg sculpting, I have never done something like this before, but it looks like fun, but I am not sure if I would be able to do it as good as you, because I have never been so good at craft.

Spelling Bee is so very cute!! Good Luck to the kids on their spelling :)

I can't believe they usually get 1 hour for lunch! So nice! Kidlet's school gives 15 minutes, not enough time to eat :(

@Emily Wong : I used white egg sheet and nori for the eyes. Thanks a lot Emily!

@ChantaleP : Thanks a lot Chantale for your sweet comment and good luck wishes for the kids! Really appreciate it :)

@Anncoo : Thanks a lot Ann!

@Cooking Gallery : Thanks a lot CG! I know you can, is fun to use egg sheet to make the character :D

@Jenn : Thanks a lot Jenn! 15 minutes really is not enough time to have lunch. My kids usually eat very fast, less than 30 minutes and they will play with their classmates or go to the library for the rest of their lunch time :)

tee hee the bee really brightened up my day! It put a big smile on my face.Crossing my fingers for the kids! :D
