Spam Burger Bento
It’s another simple bento today. I pan fried some SPAM for breakfast, and this time, I bought the less-salt-less-oil version from SPAM, instead of Tulip! So, I didn’t have to “struggle” with the can this morning. LOL!
I prepared 2 wheatmeal buns, some lettuce and 2 pieces of Spam.
Obviously, there is nothing special about the mini burgers. 
I just replaced the burger patty with Spam.
I packed everything in the bentos.
There are mini burger, tamagoyaki (which the lazy mommy bought from the Japanese food section at supermarket ), some blueberries and a strawberry. The strawberries from Driscolls are quite big and I couldn’t slip in more, so I packed a few more strawberries in smaller lunch boxes for my kids.
Since my kids have always preferred to have their food “smiling back at them”, I proceeded to decorate the mini burgers.
I added 2 eyes, cut from fish tofu, to the buns. (Why I use spaghetti strips)
Then I added their eyes and lips with nori (that’s the puncher I used) and 2 rosy cheeks cut from artificial crab meat.
What I had in mind was decorating the buns as frogs, but my boy said, “Mommy, it doesn’t look like a frog.” O.o *sweat*
Anyway, here are the bentos:
My boy’s mini Spam burger bento.
And here’s my gal’s bento.
I gently pressed down the buns before closing the bentos. Don’t worry, I have an extra pair of tweezers for my boy in the lunch bag, and he might “fix” the nori if he feels that his meal needs some touching up. LOL!
Now, would you please excuse me. I have to go figure out what’s wrong with the buns as they don’t look like frogs. LOL! *just kidding, I have to get back to work. *
Good job! Another simple and cute bento!
It does look like frog to me.
it’s so cute with the crown on the frog! beside, may i know how you close the the cover with the eye (i mean the fish tofu) on top? pai seh
Annie Q, thanks. Gee…maybe my boy is expecting something else. LOL!
Lisa, I just pressed down the buns and they got flatten a bit. The eyes are still ok, the last i closed and open the bentos to check again. But them if you have the sandwich basket, they will be great for burgers or tall sandwiches like this. I already took out the bentos, so I too lazy to change them to the basket lunch box.
Another way is, you pin the fish tofu flat down, instead of standing up like mine. 
Cute smiling faces…
i like the crown picks.
and the frogs do look like frogs to me. happy bento~
Hee hee! The froggies look so cute. Your son is a tough sell! LOL!
Cute leh.. looks like frogs wat…. hmm.. maybe call them toads instead cos of the colour & texture? Kids are so smart these days hor? They won’t take things face-value lor…. & they wont humour us too! Keke!
