Tiger Garlic Bread Buns

I can’t believe it, I didn’t snap any photos for today’s bentos! Serious! I was in a bad rush this morning (I’m not a Monday person), and I thought that I’d taken the photos of the bentos before packing them up. When I was looking through the photos in my camera just now, I got a shock when I couldn’t find the complete bento photos. :P But then, I took some while decorating the garlic bread into little tigers, so at least there is still “something” to share. LOL!

This is what I did last night:


I cut a regular hotdog bun into 3 segments. I would only used the ends.



Make a cut on the top of the ends but don’t cut through the buns.



Spread some butter and garlic spread in the opening of the buns.



I stored the buns in air tight container, and kept them refrigerated over night.


By doing so, it would save me some time in the morning! So, the first thing I did this morning was to toast the buns for 10 minutes, boil some quail eggs and a small piece of kamaboko, and prepare the fruits.


Once everything was done and cooled down, I proceeded to decorating the buns.



Cut the quail eggs into halves.



Pin the quail eggs on the buns with spaghetti strips.



Cut the kamaboko into small circles.



Slip in the kamaboko as ears for the tigers.



Punch some nori with this puncher and add the stripes for the tiger.



Then, add the rest of the face features.



Cut 2 small circles from the pink layer of kamaboko and add them as cheeks.


So, here are the little tiger garlic breads.
