Mid-Autumn: Chang Er Bento

Mid-Autumn festival falls on 19 September, Thursday. I am just too excited to use rice to make bento for this theme. :) It is another opportunity for me to make Chang E in rice type.

For the lunch bento, I made little girl with holding bunny lantern. The girl is made from rice and bunny is pick. 

It is packed with meatballs, fresh baby carrots and grapes. There is a fish paste soup which I forgot to include in it. :s

I actually plan to use the quail egg to make the bunny as lantern. I changed to use bunny pick as I am taking too long to prepare the Chang Er. :s

William, Olivia and I are participating this lantern competition by using recycled materials. It is our first time to make this, the paper materials supplied by schools. Initial we plan to use can / tin to make the lantern and after thinking design and tedious work and lots of kids participating maybe little and little. We change to use box instead of can. 

The drawing Chang E is drawn by me. :) From far angle see, look good. Closer look, you will find rough workmanship. ;p

After submit this and chit chat with the principal, I changed the plan in making Minion for her as I feel this lantern above is abit traditional and old fashioned. 

Which one you prefer? ^-^

Happy Mid Autumn Festival!

Chang E and Jade Rabbit Bento, Chinese Mythological

月亮传说- 嫦娥奔月 

I am not sure my paper cut 'kungfu' able to cut out the extraordinary, gentle and pretty lady - Chang E and jade rabbit. Well it is my good try. ^-^

The bread spread with nutella hazelnut. I use round mould to have round shape of BBQ cheese. Placed the cut out Chang E and bunny (rabbit) from nori and placed in it. I cheat and cut the tiny cheese instead of cut from the inner of Chang E. (Hm....m not brave enough =.=')

She also had her mini snow skin red bean moon cake and grapes for her. 

Adding little cupcake sprinklers on the surface of bread and bunny picks. 

Remarks: Olivia said mummy had cut out wrong creatures that I should cut bunny instead of cockroach. Oh....

Picks I used for the day:
