Happy Family

 

Today's bento was requested by my daughter herself. Last night while we were watching TV, she asked me to make her white mommy chicken and yellow cute chicks for her lunch today. She told me to put boiled egg yolk for the yellow chicks. Gene doesn't lie, right? I think she will become an excellent bento artist in the future!

Rilakkuma is Here...

 

This bento was inspired by a Rilakkuma stuffed toy that I saw in one of the online shop here. First time I saw it, I fell in love with the cuteness of it, so I told myself to make the Rilakkuma as a bento. 

Here is my other Rilakkuma bento, this time I used rice molder which is goes with the cutter and puncher. It's so handy!

Here is the molder set that I used for the picture above.  You can find the details and buy it in Bento USA .

Have a nice weekend, everyone! See you on the next posts..

Mun Tofu

Mun Tofu is one of our family’s favorite food. It’s a simple dish which is easy to cook and healthy also. Today I only used the ingredients which is available in my fridge, so it’s very simple. I bought the tofu in korean grocery store because the taste and texture is much better than the local tofu.

Here is my way to cook my Mun Tofu.
