Bento Wishlist

Most of us who follow some Japanese bento blogs might have seen these new arrivals over the weeks, but I still can’t find any online stores that carry these products.

Have you seen these picks at 100Yen?

Those are the hat picks I mentioned previously! So cute!!! Where to get them though?

There is another blog that featured some cute piggy picks, but I can’t find it in my feeder. Those piggy picks and barans are very cute too.

So, anyone is going to Japan lately? :P

New Arrivals at BentoCraft

I’ve just made my order at Bentocraft.com yesterday, and I’m so excited to get these 2 items:

Tomica Fire Engine BentoAnimal Picks

Animal Picks

There are a lot of new bento boxes, especially sandwich bento box. I was tempted to get Shinkansen and Cinnamonroll sandwich boxes, but I know that I’m really running out of space to keep more bentos! So, if you are interested, do take a peep at BentoCraft.

I found a few new picks at some Japanese bento blogs, and maybe Carmen, the owner of BentoCraft, will bring them in soon. I just can’t wait to get the picks with the cute characters with custom hats. I have seen them somewhere, but I can’t remember which blog it was. :P

Anyway, it’s nice to have a few more cute items added to my bento tools collection!

Hello Kitty Frying Pan

My SIL got a Hello Kitty pan from Penang, and she is having a hard time using it. I think it looks something like this:

hello kitty pan

She asked if there is a way of using this pan, and make a nice piece of fried egg sheet. Seriously, I can’t help much as I don’t have any fancy shaped frying pans. Remember that my kids rejected fried eggs and it’s only until recently that they love it?

On top of that, my kids don’t take pancakes, so I don’t think I need a pan like that. I tried preparing pancakes for them, and I ended up eating ALL because they didn’t want to try!!! I had almost needed the best hgh releaser to burn off the extra calories after eating so many pieces of pancake with honey syrup!
Another reason is, I doubt my skill in flipping it over to the other side and I wonder if the shape will come out exactly the same.

Thus, if you have any tips in using fancy pans like this, please share in comment section. Thanks!!!

Pressies!

I should have posted this earlier but I was very occupied for the past few days. Our guests have just left today, so we will have a more relaxing holiday until the new year. I’m not sure if hubby has any special plan on how to celebrate new year’s eve, but I would prefer a nice shopping trip. LOL!

But firstly, let me spend a day cleaning up my house first. The ceiling fans, tile flooring and bathrooms have not been cleaned for a week. :P That’s how BUSY we were.

On top of that, I would like to thank Ellena for the Christmas pressie, and Arlene for getting me some bento tools all the way from Japan.

Thanks ladies! I really appreciate your kindness and help. :)

I hope that all of you will have a joyous holiday and looking forward to the new year.

Happy New Year!

Another Facial Nori Puncher

 I should stop checking out bento tools, the more I see, the more I feel like buying. LOL! Maybe some guys don’t get it, but it’s like you see any auto accessories, or a high tech gadget, or a nice set of golf clubs which you just got to have one, or else you can’t sleep tight at night. Got it now? LOL!

I’ve always loved this webstore, which has a lot of nice things to offer. But I haven’t bought from it directly as most bento stores will get the items and sell in local market. What we need to do is just wait for them to “import” the stuffs.

So, I wonder if these nori punchers will hit some online bento stores soon…

They are really cute! But I guess I can imitate these facial expressions with my existing punchers, or just cut with exacto knife. But if you have only started collecting bento tools, maybe you can give them a try. :)

Hello Kitty and Tomica Sandwich Moulds

Here are my new bento gadgets…


Hello Kitty and Tomica Sandwich Moulds!

Yeap, I got the tools in my bento wish list, yippie! They are from Bento Craft (thanks Carmen!) and my kids love them the moment they saw it. My boy already used the Tomica set this morning for his breakfast, but the bread was too small for the mould. So, he suggested that we use the milk bread next time, which is slightly bigger. My boy is very interested to play with most of my bento tools, and luckily, these tools are not as “dangerous” as electrical supplies. So far, I haven’t let him try my exacto knife, maybe only when he’s older.

And thanks to Carmen again for the pack of autumn leaf picks. They are so pretty for an autumn theme bento. :)

Some Cute Bento Boxes

I should stop checking out online bento stores. The more I visit, the more I feel like buying. LOL! It’s an addiction, and a very bad one. :P

There are some of the cute lunch boxes which I found online, and they are listed in my bento wish list too.

Care bears! Do you still remember them? I used to love watching the cartoons when I was young. I found them here. Ah….I’m resisting the urge of buying the pink and blue bears. :P

BTW, if you prefer an even shape bento box, but with a fancy cover such as Rilakkuma and Korilakkuma, you can get them from Bento Craft.

Just in case you are wondering, NO, I’m NOT being paid for posting about these bento boxes! :P

I’m not ordering any of them yet. I’m out of space of storing the existing bento boxes, and if I can find a way of maximizing the storage space, maybe I will grab a few more bentos. Gee…I feel like I’m buying too many tools and bento boxes, I can forget about getting the new iPhone and iphone accessories already. :P

New Bento Tools from Bento Craft

Yeap! I got the parcel from Bento Craft! Yippie! I didn’t buy a lot since it’s my first purchase from this online store, but the store owner is very nice to ship out my order ASAP because I got my flight date messed up. :P I thought I will be leaving soon but it is a week later from now. LOL!

Besides that, the items in my bento wish list are coming soon to Bento Craft, so I might get them if the price is reasonable. Maybe some other bento stores are getting the same products too, thus I can make a price comparison. :P

On top of that, I won’t be spending a lot of time blogging or doing “tag” or accepting awards, but thanks to those bloggers who linked to my blog and passed me the awards. I don’t have a stable internet line here, and I’m SOooooooooo lazy on my holiday back home. I just spend my days eating, sleeping, knitting, visiting my grandpa and nothing much. I might need the best colon cleanse to clear out my body system or sign up a body slimming program if I stay here another month longer. LOL!

Some New Tools

I am still enjoying my bento break here in Malaysia, so I won’t be fixing any bentos for some time. Anyway, my kids won’t need any bentos, and they are so thrilled to be home and they are having a great time here with our friends and family. Too bad that hubby can’t be here with us now due to work commitment. If not, we will surely have more fun during this term holiday, even if we are not getting any mazatlan vacation packages.

Since there is no bento at the moment, I shall share some of the new tools I’ve received recently…

This puncher is a pressie from Arlene. Thanks ya!!! Those stars are cute for decoration, especially starry eyes. :) Besides that, I got my orders from Bento Market too.

My boy has finally agreed on having this Cinnamonroll bento box, so I got one for him. Previously, he didn’t like it, but there isn’t a lot of choices for boyish bento boxes either. :P I got some new Hello Kitty cutters too, but I’m still clueless on what will I do with them. My mind is all about enjoying my holiday and stuffing myself with all the local food that I’ve been craving for a year. Obviously, I’m enjoying this bento break a lot! :)

Bento Wish List

I found 2 new items which I wish to have…

7266_1.jpg7273_1.jpg

They are pre-order items by NST.  Check them out if you are interested! Mmm…should I order too? LOL! I’m tempted, but I shall put them in my bento wish list first. I won’t be fixing bento for some time, I guess. So I won’t need any bento tools yet. Nonetheless, these pre-order items take a while to reach you once your payment is made, so check out the details from NST blog.

Ok, I shall stop looking at bento stuffs and go enjoy my “char tua pan”. Gosh, I might need to get something like puristat after my stay here for a month, if I eat like I’ve never eaten before. LOL!
