Bento #286 - Children's Day Bento

Tomorrow is a school holiday as it is Children's Day, so I'm making a Children's Day Bento in advance for Kimi today.

In Japan, the carp kite/windsocks or Koinobori is synonymous with their boys'/girls' day. So I'm combining the 2 and giving a Taiyaki for school. It is filled with fresh blueberries and choc pearls. Added Prawn Paste chicken wings which is also Kimi's current favourite. And of course our usual stash of broccoli and corn. I heard there's going to be ice-cream, pop corn and cotton candy at school today. Wow, Kimi is going to be very happy!

 

I felt so guilty cos I had promised Kimi that I will buy some so he can hang it at our planter but I had totally forgotten about it.  Love these colourful fishes floating in the air! Ahhhh, aren't they just lovely?

 

Since this is the last bento post for the week, Happy Children's Day and Blessed Weekend everyone!!

Bento #285 - Simply Mooncake

Not making charaben today because Kimi wanted the Green Tea Baked Mooncake I made - happy! So, this is a another simple and speedy bento which I used picks to pretty up.

In the box, there are seaweed chicken which Kimi now loves, broccoli, corn and more corn and blueberries.

Bento #284 - Black & White Kitties

Continuing on my pair/couple theme, I made these 2 cute kitties after seeing them online.  Someone made these kitty cookies, aren't they adorable? The cookies were much cuter, of course!  I'm sure you have seen the B&W Piggies? This is the kitty version, lol!

Kitties are made of cheese and nori and sit on a bed or rice, accompanied with Teriyaki Salmon, corn, broccoli, golden kiwi and blueberries. :)

No bento yesterday cos we skipped school. Oops, mummy is a bad influence on Kimi. :( Guess more school skipping as I start preparing for our upcoming trip. Yay, holidays at last!!! Break time!!
