Oh how I wish that the time can move a bit slower =_=" Seem that many things cannot be done within 24 hours! Oh well, perhaps each time when I arrive home after work..... it's like continue working as a mother job. Everyday repeating the same routine except not cooking during the weekends. Phew!

Today's lunch I make it simple. All I can think is cute Baymax ^_^
My girl requested to eat Udon noodles so I stir-fried with some fish balls and sausage. After boiled the quail eggs, just roll into round shape to make Baymax head. Add nori for the details and I add red heart pick on top ^_^  Along the side, I add baby carrots and cucumber leaf. Some grapes at separate small container.

Finally I'm back after more than two weeks bento break. Not school holidays but both of my kids not feeling well and my son already discharged from hospital last Thursday. Thank GOD that everything back to normal, I loved to hear the noise and laughter at home because it's been too long didn't hear it :(

I'm using Kiki Delivery Service bento box (bought it during my Japan trips) so thought of making Jiji for today's bento ^_^ This time I make it simple by just adding the minced pork to become Jiji. 

First, add the rice onto the bento box then use cling wrap to press out the shape of Jiji in the middle so that can fill up with minced pork. Next, add the rice eyeballs and nori details. Crabstick for big red bow and white part for Jiji ears. 

Some broccoli and grapes for side dishes. Can you spot my tiny fish furikake? Hehehe..... I just remove some fishes out from a packet of furikake. Have a lovely day! Stay healthy ^_^
