This was my lunch for today: a platypus bento, inspired by the San-X character, Kamonohashikamo. As some of you might have noticed, this is another new bento box which I bought online some time ago but have not used until today.
This bento is relatively easy to make and took me about half an hour. The front box is filled with Platypus-shaped Omurice (fried rice wrapped in omelet), a few pieces of blanched broccoli, half a strawberry, a slice of ham, a pieces of grapes, kiwi and a thin slice of surimi.
The second box is filled with leftover mapo tofu from 2 days ago, stir-fried with egg noodles, a turmeric tinted hardboiled egg which is also supposed to imitate Kamonohashikamo, three slices of cucumber, red currant, a slice of ham, a flower cheese and parsley (?).

Which character should I make next? I am somehow rather uninspired... Could you help? But please ask me to make something easy ;).
Till next time :).

I just love how you made the platypus face, it is adorable. The bebto box is cute , love the long shape. You're so artistic (I know I keep saying that) but you are!
ReplyDeleteThese are really cute. You are very creative and have the ability to make food look beautiful. That is a real talent. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteYou're really an expert on making bento. These are really cute :))
ReplyDeleteabsolutely lovely Im sure daughter would really love this bento!! so cute! gloria
ReplyDeleteoh my, that is adorable!! very creative!
ReplyDeleteThis only took you 30 minutes? I'm jealous... :)
ReplyDeleteHave you tried making kero from Cardcaptor Sakura? That would be really cute ^.^
@ Xinmei - I used lots of leftovers, that's why it didn't take that long to make :). I've never heard of Kero because I don't watch Cardcaptor Sakura, but I just googled it and I find him quite cute, but would be rather difficult to make...;)!! Thanks for the suggestions anyway, highly appreciated :D).
ReplyDelete@ Dania - Keroppi was actually my favourite character from Sanrio when I was a little girl. This doesn't seem to be too hard to make, I'll think about it. Thanks for the idea :)!!
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. I'm really glad you did. This is such a creative blog, I love your little creations (have added myself as your follower too ... if you enjoyed mine, I'd love if you joined too!) ... How about a Hallo Kitty? Have you made one of those yet?
ReplyDeleteIf that was my lunch I couldn't eat it, it's too pretty! :-D Hmm, not sure what to suggest for your next project...
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the sweet comment you left on my blog! I love your site -- your bentos are adorable! I would love to see a ladybug bento box...I think that would be super cute. :)
ReplyDeleteYour bentos are real works of art. I think you are a real artist, I don,t think I would have that creativity. So adorable.
ReplyDeleteGoodness gracious! This bento box looks too adorable! An attempt to make this would probably take me the whole day... :)
ReplyDeleteSo cuto! I love pandas. You have any panda ones? If not, I'm addicted to Death Note. Not really cute, but you could probably have some fun :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog today. I am so impressed with your work. You are very creative,obviously patient, and you have a unique niche. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteah! make something for mother's day?
ReplyDeleteLovely, cute, beautiful! I'm inspired to try at making bento one day! Interested to make some Powerpuff Girls bento? Would be lovely!
ReplyDeleteThis puts the cute in CUTE. I wish someone would make me a lunch that looked this wonderful. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnother perfect bento! I love keroppi and hopefully you may consider making your nest bento with keroppi theme :) Cheers!
ReplyDeleteOh my, the bento is so lovely and tempting! I always love this kind of slim bento box but yet to find one :)
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful bentos ALWAYS puts a smile on my face!! :)
ReplyDeleteAww I feel so proud that there's a platypus there! Oooh what next? A koala perhaps if we're on Australian wildlife? ;)
ReplyDeleteHi CG! I can look at your obento box for a long long time appreciating your detail work. Are you accepting a request?! I have one! Well, I hope this is an easy one... Do you know Anpanman? My kids LOVE that Japanese cartoon show... well, I don't think it's cute character, so maybe it's a wrong one to ask for. =P Oh! We all love Totoro~~~. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis bento is absolutely cute, too pretty to be eaten!
ReplyDeleteThe platypus is sooo cute... And you're killing me with that slim green lucky clover box, envy.... T_T
ReplyDeleteOh so this is the cute bento box you just bought :) The shape is unique for bento set! I wish I had your lunch today :) Sorry I missed out on the Easter fun! I've been so tied up at work and also sorry for not visiting your blog sooner :P
ReplyDeleteI salute you to put in so much effort into your lunch. Next character?...How about a floral garden theme... Spring is here!
ReplyDeleteThis bento looks delicious with all these veggies and fruits around it!
ReplyDeletenever knew that those were ham! you sliced them so beautifully! oh, i'm also not familiar with cartoon characters, what's on my mind now is only snoopy, ha!
ReplyDeleteWould a wombat fit into that little box though? :)
ReplyDeleteI love this. I've always wanted to try my hand at bento lunches for my daughter but never think I can make them as cute :) Yours is so adorable and yummy!
