CATS (Bento #53 - hubby's & 54 - girl's)

We attended the musical 'CATS' last evening with KY & JG. Timing was very tight as we both had to wait for the kids to come home from school before rushing out the door. KY lives like 45mins away from the Esplanade and she's really lucky to have arrived before the doors of the theatre closed. For me, we are lucky we live less than 10mins away. However, I prepared bentos for princess, hubby and myself which we needed to consume before the start of the show. We made it in good time!

However, I spent at least 2hrs on the bentos and seriously can't imagine myself doing this on a daily basis. But, I am really happy that I fulfilled what I started out to do. And am proud that the CATS logo turned out pretty well on hubby's bento. In his bento, I have placed the rice at the bottom after seasoning it with sukiyaki beef furikake (picture down at the bottom), which is super yummy, if I had put more of it in. Was afraid that it'd turn out too salty, but for future ref, will be generous with it because it really is super delicious! :P I have also placed some blanched broccoli & a piece of luncheon meat at the base.

In this layer of his bento (using the hamburger bento, which is a perfect portion for him), there are strawberries, dragonfruit & a salad I made with potatoes, corn kernels, cut-up sausages & Japanese cucumber and seasoned with mayo, garlic powder & black pepper.

For the girl, I made two little kitties to depict the characters in the musical. For the fishball cat, I cut two tiny triangular ears out from the luncheon meat & secured them with vermicelli strands. I didn't have time to beautify it further as it was time to get ready to pick her up from the bus, a quick shower & change then rush out the door. Love the metal Cinnamoroll bento.

Her dessert bento held dragonfruit & blueberry marshmallows.

The bento below is for myself. I had onigiri & a salad just like hubby's, However, I only ate the onigiri & the salad is still sitting in the fridge. I think I was too tired after the preparation of the bentos that I wasn't hungry by dinnertime.

I made some extras, for JG & for my mum, which they ate during interval.

This below is the very yummy sukiyaki beef furikake.

We did have a good evening & princess enjoyed the musical, because it is after all, about cats, which she loves. However, it was too long for her and by 10.20pm, she was complaining that she was sleepy and bugging to go home. She got a t-shirt from the merchandise shop and couldn't wait to put it on. She even wore it to sleep. ;) Thanks AG & KY for the tickets. :D
