Please welcome my new Matryoshka bento box, isn't it adorable :)? I bought this bento box weeks ago from Bento&Co. I had to unfortunately pay a quite expensive customs fee because this box was sent from Japan. If you're located in Europe, I recommend you to buy this box from CasaBento, because it's less expensive in total (i.e. shipping fee, no customs fee, etc) and it would arrive much sooner at your door. I found out too late that CasaBento has this bento box too in their shop :(.




Anyway, today I made a Hello Kitty-themed bento. Both kitties were cut out using a teddy bear cutter (for the bear suit) and an oval-shaped cutter (for the face) - the kitties are from cheese by the way. I decorated them with nori (eyes, whiskers, etc), chili sauce (cheeks and the red dots on the dresses), cheese (nose), cucumber (green flowers on the dresses) and carrot (for the wings or coat or whatever they're ;)).

The left box contains cucumber salad, kimchi, cucumber border, mini schnitzel, egg, carrot flowers and boiled shrimps.

There is also some Indonesia-style chicken 'Ayam Bumbu Rujak' in the round box - I used instant spices to make this ;), cucumber slices, tomatoes and mandarin slices.

If I hadn't seen it I would never believe Matryoshka bento exists! Angelic hello kitties are extremely cute and the details are so tiny, I wonder how you managed to do all this...

OH why must you tease me with such cute things? I am addicted to cute little eating implements, whether it be lunch boxes or chopsticks or tea cups!

Hello Kitty is also a favourite of mine! This is cuteness overload. And delicious too.

Your bento box is adorable and you are a great cook to be making this type of cuisine. I've always been nervous of Japanese cooking - so much chopping and slicing with those ultra sharp knives.
