Slice them and wrap up and keep in the fridge. :) Shi-chan, I think just a minute or 2 will do. Slice them and wrap up and keep in the fridge. :)

Just that they're already soft to the touch even after straight out fr fridge. Guess its the quality of cheese again. I will try out with Chesdale next time and see if its better.so take them out, cut to half, stack them, wait a while to stick tog, and then slice vertically? How long approx to let them stick? I waited too long, was like a bit mushy by then. haha... think i need practice practice practice! ;) well the cheese didnt melt totally when i took them out from fridge.

It should be hard, and you have to cut them in shapes when it's still hard. When it's soft, it would be harder to cut. I use Chesdale, so far it works for me only. My stripe cheese stick quite well, except the last slice, which I used for the chick in this bento. It's because the back part not so even already since it's the last slice I have. But it still stick on together with a small crack. Thanks Little Prince’s Mum and Sasha.

I had some problem with the stripe cheese. I prepared them last night but i'm not sure if its due to a different brand of cheese (i bought President) that it turned out q soft and sticky. So sticky that when i used the mould to cut out a shape, the cheese got stuck in it and when i tried to get it out, the stripes were all falling apart. :( I know u use Chesdale cheese so maybe thats harder? Also, how do u prevent the strips from coming apart? ( I did leave them outside to let it stick for a while) shoppingmum,

And pooh saucecase & ABC mould. I realised that some popular products only come in like 1 unit so i kiasu, quickly ordered and checked out my cart. haha... I saw My melody and shinkansen bento boxes too but when i clicked on them, no picture found. I think they're OOS thats why lah. The stuff on NST seems to be a bit costlier than BMP hor? But carry more products lah. I cant wait to receive them. *hee* shopping mum!!
