Bento Fun #129
Not sure what I should be doing today so I decided to try something new. Can’t remember where I’ve seen the idea from (either KarenMama or Akinoichigo) on doing these ‘fruit balls’ using bread. Since Darrius is kinda sick with those stack cheese sandwiches I’ve made for him the past weeks, I decided to wrapped them into balls instead. 
Doing these fruit balls or bread onigiri were not as easy as I’d imagined! Well, the shape don’t really stay as round as I’d wished it would be! They are completely different from molding rice balls as once you’ve squeezed them together, there’s no turning back unless you dump it and start a fresh with another slice of bread!
I stuffed all those cheese bits which were left overs from the past bentos that I have kept in a box so they are not wasted. Have wanted to put in a mini chicken cocktail but worried the hard shape of the cocktail may alter the shape so will try that out another time.
For filler, I put in a strawberry, some baby carrots and corn on the cob. Since there are limited space, I took away the golden kiwi.
I hope Darrius will be amused with these fruit balls!

I think the bento gadgets for molding the bread into ball shapes will coming soon hahaha …
But you did it, so cool! And I spy the 2 colors corn there. Nice color for this bento!
Oh really ah Lia???? I did not know if there is such a gadget! I know there is one for the rice balls but not for bread balls! Can’t wait to see it in the stores!
Oh yeah, the that was the pearl corn which is very sweet and milky and can be eaten even if we don’t steam it.
woh, I have never seen these before! Bread onigiri?! You are so cool! This bento rocks!

Thanks Asfora!!! You’re so sweet!

Thanks Susan! It was not Darrius but this lousy mommy who fell sick! Too much chocolates!
So cute and such a brilliant idea! I should try that too as I wonder when my boy will get bored with the normal sandwich bento I made him everyday
Nope I was just kidding … hehehe … but who knows? Japanese people always so creative to create so many bento gadgets

If you squeezed the bread compact, won’t it be hard?
AMD – There are fillings in there so it is not like the whole things is the bread (like mochi) so it should not be hard.
