Bentolicious #216
This morning, I only cooked beef soup and rice for lunch bento. I didn't bother to make any decorations for today's lunch bento, instead I tried to decorate today's quick snack bento for the kids. Two bread balls stuffed with beef floss inside. Decorated it with black beans, nori, and cheese to make this black and white buddies. I put some fruits (strawberries, seedless grapes, oranges) from the fridge inside the box. This was quick to make, I meant like really quick. This afternoon we will be cleaning the whole playroom downstairs. Kids will be helping to clean their library and I will be working to clean the other shelves in the room. During the 1 week holiday next week, my husband and I will give some house chores for kids to do. No bento for next week but see you all soon after the holiday. I might be posting something on My Bloglicious during the holiday since no bento making will be happening next week. See you all after the holiday! Have a wonderful weekend and wish an early Happy Eid for friends who celebrate it :)

Hi Lia, are you able to share how you made the bread ball? Did you use normal slice bread from brands like Gardenia? Thank you!

I adore the roundness face of this snack bento. I tried once but not so flawlessly round like yours hehehe

Wow....do your kids get something cute everyday? They are so lucky. I do make some cute food for my son to bring to school, but only maybe once every other month. Haha...I really am not a morning person ;p
Can't wait to see your new bento! You've always had the cutest idea!

@Susan Yuen : Thanks a lot Susan!

@Heather : I'm planning to take some step-by-step pictures on tips section very soon. Working on it ... Please check it later this week :) Floss is dried sweetened meat pulled to separate the fibers and spun until it has the texture of crispy cotton candy. Very common in South East Asia. Can be made from pork, beef, chicken, and fish.

@Twenty3 : I will try to post the step-by-step pics very soon. I use the sandwich bread, any brand should be ok :)

@Jiyoonie : Thanks a lot Jiyoonie! Wow ... mom of twins is cool! My sister also had twins. Hope you can try to make bento for your kids. Doesn't have to be complicated, most important is healthy foods :)

Another cute bear. Like fine art. Sometime I just wonder how you can come out with such a good ideal & skill. If I happan go to Jakarta, must visit you & learn some skill from you. Ha Ha.. Or if you happan to visit SABAH, do drop by for your Bento class.

That looks so cute and delicious! It reminds me of the disney movie Kung Fu Panda lol
