Angry Birds 'The Sequel'

This is my 2nd Angry Birds post and here is my older one. I had this idea from my friend, because he requested me to make one for him. As usual, he only can enjoyed it from the picture. :)

Inside the box: Rice, meatballs, potato, broccoli, and grapes. I used ketchup for red color and egg yolk for yellow color.

The one who enjoyed the bento is my daughter Elaine..she was really happy when she ate it and she loved the  meatballs. 

 

I've been thinking to submit this bento to Contest: Via col bento , which is held by: Kitty's Kitchen and Semplicemente Pepe Rosa. The Contest will end on Thursday, June 2nd.

Here is the recipe for the meatballs.
