Rilakkuma and Korilakkuma Bento

I bought the set of Rilakkuma cutters from Bentomarket.com some time ago, and I decided to use them for today’s bento.

I bought a loaf of chocolate milk bread yesterday, and I thought it would be nice for Rilakkuma. As for Korilakkuma, I cut it from normal white bread (leftover from yesterday’s bento) and Kiiroitori, the yellow chick, was cut from cheese. This preparation was done last night to speed things up in the morning rush. Then, I stored the bread away in air tight container, and refrigerated the pieces of cheese.


Tools for today’s bento, but I left out a small oval cutter in this photo. :P

 

I steamed some corns for breakfast, and packed a few pieces in the bentos. At the same time, I packed some persimmons and custard apples for my kids too. So, here are the bentos:


My gal’s bento with Rilakkuma, Korilakkuma and Kiiroitori lying on the corn. 

 


And here’s my boy’s bento. You may click on the photos to know more about it. :)

 

I think the chocolate milk bread is too dark for Rilakkuma, so you may use wholemeal bread or sesame bread as an alternative. But this chocolate milk bread is too delicious, even to be eaten alone, and my kids love it.

BTW, if you are packing custard apple, please make sure that the bento is kept cool at all time. I keep the tea bentos refrigerated in the office, and only take them out to room temperature before picking up my kids from school in the late afternoon. If you are packing the fruit for your kids to school, please pack along a cooler gel to keep the bento cool in  insulated bento bag. Most cooler gel packs can last for 4 hours, and if you need longer hours, go for ice bricks (I love those from Coleman!). If not, the custard apple might be watery and it won’t taste nice.

It’s just my two cents!

    SW, it’s from the bakery section of Oishi, I think the bakery’s name is nothing else, instead of Oishi. I will check the label again when I get another loaf. :)

    [...] before 7.30am. So, the bentos consisted of a piece of sandwich, some SPAM decorated as pandas and Rilakkuma and  Korilakkuma, quail eggs, some corns and fresh fruits packed in the lower tiers of the sandwich [...]
