Hamtaro and Garlic Bread Bento

I haven’t packed buns (pao) for quite some time because my kids don’t like them anymore. :( Their taste buds change from time to time, so it’s best to pack their “preferred” food at the moment to avoid food wastage. I’ve always wanted to fix Hamtaro again since it’s so cute. But without using pao, just like the previous Hamtaro Char Siew Pao Bento, I resolved to using cheese with this cutter:


Rilakkuma cutter


It’s a last minute decision, so I didn’t have time to snap the step by step photos. Hopefully, you can figure out how I did the cheesy Hamtaro.


My boy’s Hamtaro and garlic bread bento, with lots of fruits too.



My gal’s Hamtaro has a smiley expression because I was running out of time to cut the eyes. :P


From the way I arranged the fruits, I guess you can tell that I was packing these bentos as fast as I could. LOL! I was trying my best to slot everything in before running late. It’s been awhile since I last pack papaya too. My boy doesn’t like papaya and kiwi, and he will only have them at school due to teacher’s pressure. :P I hope that he will finish his papaya and kiwi today!

    Really, they both decide they don’t like bao anymore? Wonder if my kids will change too. RIght now they would eat bao all day long if I let them. Anyway, your cheese Hamtaro is just as cute! So busy, but you still manage the tiny details so carefully :)

    Sheri, ya, it’s been awhile since they eat buns, even if I order one at the restaurant, they are not interested anymore. I can only manage something super simple and fast these days. LOL!

    Lia Chen, oh ya, it’s nice to have a good bao store near by us!

    Chinnee, Hamtaro is a hamster, it’s part of its fur which has 2 different tones.

    i love these cute hamtaro, they really brighten up the yummy garlic bread. and i agree with everyone above, even when you are rushing you still cut the fruit beautifully and fill the boxes so attractively!
