MTM for goddaughter

My dearest goddaughter has been asking for curry udon so I made a date with her to come over last Tuesday since it was a day off school. I made them curry udon, chicken karaage, strawberries which I drizzled with chocolate sauce and yoghurt. Princess had soya milk instead of water, and that was the only difference.

More bento updates

This is the first time I'm trying to do a checkered apple. I think it is very pretty but you need lots of patience. This is a simple bento of prata, steamed cake, flower ham, cherry tomatoes and apples.

This bento was indeed a heartbreaker. I got both ideas for the heart-shaped sealed sandwich and the Hello Kitty in a suit from shopping mum, and I put in lots of effort to get it right. It was perfect at first, but while I was moving the fruits around, I accidentally destroyed my HK. How sad I was after all the intricate work put in. Sob sob. But at least she got to see it before it got destroyed.

I have been eyeing for one of these bento trays since I spied them in a Korean shop. However, I didn't like the design on the Korean one. I did come across a Thomas one and was hoping very much that they produced it in Sanrio characters. And I found it! So very happy. This is my new 'muffin tin' tray. Hehe. In this tray there is meatball spaghetti from the hawker centre and apple-flavoured Yakult.

MTM - Muffin Tin Meal

Following in the footsteps of my fellow bloggers, Peony & HK Choo, I decided to make a muffin tin meal for princess one evening. Her dad and I were having curry chicken for dinner so I had to find alternative food for her. Apparently it's the latest trend to serve kids their meals in one of these tins. It has the same philosophy as a bento, and makes meals fun for little kiddos, enticing them to eat up. I am hoping to get my hands on a silicon one. A friend likened it to meals served in the Army. And it fact it does remind me so, of those mess tins used for their meals. I think it's kind of cute, but not something I will do very often, or so I hope. ;)

In this tin, there is Yakult with jelly by the side, fishball miso soup, tamago and cherry tomatoes, organic golden kiwi, plain rice with Cinnamoroll seaweed and chicken bak kwa. She finished everything except some tamago and tomatoes.

It's the first time that I made checkered apple. I found it a little bit tedious although it's beautiful. I tried the rest of the apple to make a rabbit but it didn't turn out well so here I have something which looks like a mouse. She also had prata, flower ham, cherry tomatoes and a steamed cake which I learned from Little Corner of Mine. My version didn't turn out so well but the little girl said it was nice. I felt it tasted too eggy, because during the mixing process, I had no energy to beat the egg into fluffy thickness. I think that was what went wrong. Will try it again another day.
