I have been procrastinating to do a Bento for the Lunar New Year as I was so tied up with all the CNY preparation. Baked a lot of cookies and also have to clean the house which seemed to get dirty just after a few days!

Well, since this year is Moo-moo year, I decided to make these cute little moo-moo cows with quail eggs…

Don’t you think they look so darn cute????? I got the idea from one of the Japanese Mama’s site. However, I do not have some of the tools so have to make do with what I have and they did turn out quite nice. The nose is made of ham and the black patches are seaweeds.

I used 2 slices of carrot to make the ‘fence’ which turned out pretty good. I had wanted to pan-fried them so they have the brownish effect but I was too lazy to clean the wok so I just blanched them together with the other vege.

In the box there are some broccoli, cauliflower (hidden/under the ducklings) and some sweet peas. Added a cherry tomato brighten up the box and a mini mandarin orange for dessert.

That’s for all now….

Wishing you and your family A Happy Moo… Year!!!!
