Bento #18 - Noah's Arch

Posted by Pikko

WOW she is simply amazing this is her 300th bento idea!!! An ark bento full of animal onigiris! Imagine she wanted to make a little zoo of animals, but instead she had made two of each. She call it the Noah’s Bento, the upper deck!

Wonderful work!! WOW she spent a long time making them!!! I wonder what equipment she made used of for the making of them...If she had the Animal Kingdom sushi making mould, I guess it will be easier for her...

Kookaburra Sits In The Old Gum Tree

Posted in 18 September 2008 by

The kookaburra looks like it's singing!! Actually first look at the title, I started hymning the song that I learnt when I was still in pre-school:

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree-e,
Merry, merry, king of the bush is he-e,
Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh,
Kookaburra gay your life must be!

Hee...The song is also posted on the author's website...Great minds think alike...

Bento #6 - Cute & Scary?

I was trying to find blogs that shows steps on how they have created their bento and found CUTE BENTO BOXES DECORATED AS JAPANESE CHARACTERS AND KAWAII KITTIES.

However these bento are not created by the author...Hence I will still be steps to make these bento...Actually it will be more fun to make them during Halloween =)

What is a Bento Box?

I went and searched around for more exciting Bento and found out:

Bento is a single-portion takeout or home-packed meal common in Japanese cuisine. A traditional bento consists of rice, fish or meat, and one or more pickled or cooked vegetables as a side dish. While bento are readily available at convenience stores and bento shops throughout Japan, it is still considered an essential skill of a Japanese housewife to be able to prepare an appealing boxed lunch.

Bento can be very elaborate, aesthetically pleasing cuisine arrangements. Often the food is arranged in such a way as to resemble other objects: dolls, flowers, leaves, and so forth.

A bento is traditionally made in a 4:3:2:1 ratio: 4 parts of rice, 3 parts of the side dish (either meat or fish), 2 parts of vegetables, and 1 part of a serving of pickled vegetables or a dessert. However, almost anything can be used to make a bento. Wow...that's something new to me! hee...

Bento #5 - Simple & Cute!

I saw this from eureka's mom blog So cute and simple to make!!

Both the bento looks like a piece of art work...and its so easy to make...

In Japan, there are numerous bento contests, especially targeted at practioners of the art of charaben or kyaraben, cute character bentos. The biggest one of them all is arguably the annual charaben contest held by Sanrio, now in its 3rd year. The one rule of the Sanrio contest, not surprisingly, is that the bento entries must feature Sanrio characters.

The winners of the contest were announced yesterday. Here’s the Golden Grand Prix winning bento :
