Bumble Bee and Butterfly Dinner Bentos
I’ve been eying on this set of rice molds for some time, and CP did a favor of getting them for me and Arlene from Japan. Thanks CP!!!
So, I decided to try them out for my kids’ dinner. You can easily fix a pig, a bunny, a cat, a teddy bear, a frog or anything else with these rice molds, and since the onigiris are “slanted” at 45 deg, it’s like the animal onigiris are smiling at you when you look down at your bento. Nonetheless, I wanted to try something else, instead of the regular animals.
Thus, I used these rice molds for today’s bentos
I stacked up the “bunny onigiris” for my boy, but only pack a “teddy” onigiri for my gal. Their dinner consisted of tempura, some fish and stir-fried kailan with prawns and fish balls.
Then, I decorated the onigiris as a bumble bee and a butterfly.
I think my gal’s bento is more like having a bee on the onigiri, instead of fixing a bumble bee onigiri. LOL!
My boy’s butterfly looked slightly better. LOL! My mom prepared some meat floss rolls today, and I added some into their bentos.
I would say it’s great to have these rice molds, if you pack rice often or if you kids like fancy rice balls at meal times.
Great!!! *thumbs up!!!
Wow, they are so cute especially the pig. You do invest quite a bit in the bento tools huh.
wah…some more new tools ah?
Winnie, thanks.
Inspiredmomx1, that pig was an example from the store that sells these rice molds, I didn’t make that pig. LOL! But it’s a good example on how to use the rice molds.
Chinnee, ya loh…:P
