Cheep Cheep....

Hi there.....

After a long wait..... I finally got my first bento cookbook last August..... I am really recommending this book to all bento lovers..... Today’s bento is a remake of one of the bento featured in the book. Chicks......!!

First, I shaped the rice using a small bowl..... If you want a glossy rice, you need to make sushi rice by adding sushi vinegar, salt and sugar once the rice is cooked.... Mix them carefully and fan the rice as you mix them..... But today I just used ordinary rice as I was rushing for time..... 

Second, I cut-out two small circles out of seaweed for the chick's eyes.... The beaks were made out of corn kernel..... I think it was very adorable..... and the rosy cheeks and the comb were made out of chicken wiener..... Btw, does chick have comb??? Hahaha.....

This bento is for hubby...... The portion is of course bigger...... As a result, I couldn't use the corn kernel for the beaks...... They were way too tiny for his chick, so I used carrots instead...... 

Both bentos have chicken wiener flowers..... (I did not really do a good job in cutting..... The knife was too blunt..... I need to buy a good knife......), chicken kaarage, cherry tomatoes and broccoli.....

I also added fish chikuwa filled with carroy stick and asparagus..... They added colour to the bento......

Let's eat!!!
