Panda Rice Bento


Panda Rice Bento, originally uploaded by sherimiya ♥.
I haven't used this panda bento box in awhile, and I really love it a lot. It's so cute! I forgot to include the top in the photo last time, and I forgot again this time. Oops. It looks a bit like the face I made on the brown/white rice with freehand nori cutouts. Underneath the rice is yet more chicken adobo; the last of it. I put as thin a layer of rice as I could, and added extra sauce in the container for him to mix in if he likes. In the lower tier I placed some fruits: strawberries, mandarin and grapes, and a little sprig of broccoli. I know, there are barely any vegetables in this bento. Why didn't I toss in some carrots or sweet potatoes? Well, they did eat a bunch at dinner, so that's okay.

Exciting post coming up; stay tuned!

    I think the cover can't be cuter than your panda face ;) And much fruits are sometimes better than others ^-^

    late to the party again, but needed to put my two cents in :-)
    i actually really love this brown-faced panda, would never have thought to use brown for this but it makes him look like an adorable teddy! and the panda picks really complete the theme nicely.

    i'm excited for whatever you've got coming up, woo hoo!

    Lil'chan, awww, you're so sweet! Now I can't show the cover in case you're wrong ;o) Just kidding! So true about the fruit... if we have them in season it's better to pack them all in!

    Thank you tatabonita! True, it's a panda day!

    Thanks a lot Martyna!

    Thanks Ingrid! Yep, exciting -- I think so!

    Thanks megan ~ I should have used white, but I really very rarely make pure white rice! I thought this mix would be close enough :) Yay for cute picks!

    Thanks bentobird, fully realized! Except I should have put my plush in there too -- aw, next time :)
