Since I blogged about my experience going to the Pompompurin cafe in Harajuku, Tokyo. I decided to make myself a Pom Pom Purin Bento for lunch today.
Pom Pom Purin is a golden retriever dog character introduced by Sanrio in 1996. His trademark is his brown beret that he always wears and loves the pudding that his mother makes. His best friend is Muffin the hamster.
I have very limited groceries (no eggs!! ahhh) so I made some rice with some curry spices added for the color, and shaped the rice into Pom Pom Purin.
The brown beret is actually a brown button mushroom which I grilled in a pan. Pom Pom Purin’s features were cut from seaweed.
The side dishes were a sauteed broccoli with tiger prawns and mushrooms. I also added a really cute ‘pudding’, which really was some thick creamy corn soup that I scooped into the nice mini porcelain mug I just bought in Japan.
I also added some purple sweet potatoes and carrots cut into star shapes.
As you you can tell, here are the table placemat, tissue that I took back from the Pompompurin cafe. And at the top left corner is the limited edition Pompompurin mug which I got from my meal at the cafe. Read all about my visit here.
Have a great Tuesday!
