It will be Easter in about a week’s time! So it is definitely time to start making and sharing Easter Bento.
Easter always makes me think of Easter bunnies, Eggs and Chicks~ So for this Miffy Easter Bento, I made Miffy with a mini Easter egg made from quail egg.
This week our country received some sad news of the passing of our founding Prime Minister Mr Lee Kuan Yew. So I decided to keep my foodart themes more muted and did not post any cute bento or foodart until today.
Even so, I did not choose a character that was way too ‘happy’ ~ Miffy sort of have that sad/grumpy look. Sad news aside, I hope this Miffy Easter Bento will send a little cheer on your way to brighten up the week.
Miffy character was made from shaping rice ball with the features cut from seaweed. The yellow dress that Miffy is wearing is made of rice ball wrapped with thin egg sheet.
The quail egg was boiled, coloured and made into the easter egg. I shared tutorial on this a year ago you can refer to the recipe post here.
The side dishes included sauteed french beans with shiitake mushrooms, baked salmon fillet and pumpkin as well as some lettuce.
I also packed a small Japanese fruit and vegetable juice with my Easter bento lunch.
Spotted these at Isetan Supermarket yesterday, and was immediately drawn to the pretty packaging (haha). Plus the flavours looked really interesting and yummy.
I chose to try the Dekopon & Carrot Mix today, to match the bunny theme.
The juice was really refreshing with citrus notes, loved the taste. At $2.30, I might buy them again~
