Bento Fun #69 – Happy Moo Year!
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!!!!

Yeah I know but I still wonder how she make the small patch (nose) as it is so
hard to stick it on the egg! In fact I cut the ham into 2 to make it thinner so it
sticks!
hey these turn out great!! Love the fence too – u so creative la
You’ve only been bentoing for quite a short period but your bentos are really nice. I’ve just started since YY started kindy this year but I’ve been repeating the same ole stuff. Mind to share more Japanese mums’ sites?
Actually I do not go to that many Japanese mamas sites… when I pack my bentos, I usually
pack stuff that are available so it is kind of impromptu thingy. I must say that if you have more
tools, even a simple bento looks great! heheheeh so you know where are all the hard earn PPP
money goes to rite?
There is a link on this post itself of one Japanese mom which I normally go to… you move your mouse
to that “Japanese Mama’s site” and click on it. This template is weird as the color scheme is a bit out so
those highlighted links are not able to differrenciate from the normal text.
I love it! I think you did a great job!
Ohhh!! I love your moo cows !! And that little face peeking out from their tummies. haha !!
And that fence is so farm housey. so appropriate to house those little moos !!!
Have a great CNY, rambling moo !! Pardon the pun. haha!

[...] prefers the half boiled, poached or those I pan fried but with the yolk still soft and gooey. The last bento with boiled eggs was done on Chinese New Year eve. That was more than 2 months [...]
