Little Miss Bento

Black Cat Bento! So happy to make this Monochrome thematic black cat bento.

After seeing one of my IG friend posting about these super cute black and white farfelle pasta that were sold at Mustafa, I went down last week and bought a pack of the pasta.

Frankly, the quality of the pasta pales in comparison to the ones I buy in Japan. Not all the prints and shapes of the pasta were consistent, so I had to pick and choose the pretty farfelle pasta pieces for the bento.

To match the monochromatic colors, I wanted a black and white theme bento today. And decided to make a black cat bento.

Also pretty nice for the upcoming Halloween too ^ ^

The bento was packed in my white monbento from Bento&co. The side dishes included teriyaki salmon fillet, tamagoyaki (Japanese egg roll omelette), and vegetables.

To kick start the week, I also included a bento tutorial to make the black cat. Have fun~
