Little Miss Bento

Ho Ho Ho~~ festive mood here!

With Christmas just around the corner, I made Gingerbread Man Bento!

I always love Gingerbread Man, or a more intimate name – Gingy!  And especially when they are depicted in animation movies or cartoons.

Today I am joining my friends from Bento Bloggers & Friends in a festive theme bento hop, and decided to make this Gingerbread Man Bento!

What is a bento hop? It is when a group of bento bloggers come together and create certain thematic lunches and we post them at the same time on our individual blogs. Then via a hop button, readers can simply move and hop from one blog to the next to see all the lunches. It is perfect for getting different ideas for making bento!

The main dish my Gingerbread Man Bento is pasta. I love the rainbow strips design of the Padonni pasta, it feels so festive. I bought them from Rakuten Japan and thought they will be great today today’s bento!

I seasoned the pasta with some olive oil, garlic, sea salt, parsley and chilli.

The Christmas wreath was made from broccoli florets, cucumber and some christmas tree deco pasta.

The red ribbon is imitation crabstick (kani kamaboko) while the Gingerbread Man character and the candy cane were made mainly of mashed potato.

I packed today’s bento in my white round enamel Noda Horo bento box.

I also packed some Laughing Cow Party Cubes, I love how they come in little cubes. Great for bento, tasting and also as fingerfood or snacks.
