Bento Fun #206 – Fishes-fishes Where Are You?
Gosh! The past 2 days has been chaotic! Baby G started crawling on all 4 so now I have to practically be her bodyguard full time! She refused to sleep and will start to crawl the moment she turned over! Then Darrius has been eating slower than the snail again! I have to spend so much time nagging him for breakfast, lunch and dinner! He even managed to dupe persuade his daddy to feed him since this mommy refused to do so! Therefore, I have no time to do any bento for the past 2 days! Blood pressure has been hitting sky high! 
Today’s bento is inspired by Susan’s Fishy Sandwich. I bought some dinner rolls yesterday and thought I’ll make some mini burgers with them since I wanted to clear all the frozen patties that I still have. Remembered Susan did one which looked so cute so I just gotta do it!

I think my fish don’t look as good as Susan’s! 
Guessed the problems lies with the cheese. Mine is the regular cheese slices so they are quite soft when it hits room temperature. They get all limpy just after a few minutes. Maybe I should go look for those old cheddar cheese next time as those are firmer and don’t melt easily. The eye is a dried blueberry. Used a heart shaped pick as the red lips.
Since this is Darrius’s lunch, I added a small cup of spaghetti bolognese. There are two octodogs too since I bought a new packet of mini cocktails to try the other day. They have a darker tone as compared to those I have been using previously. I wonder why we don’t have those red sausages the Japanese moms have been using??? The red is so vibrant as compared to those we have here… so brown and dull!
Added some broiled broccoli and endamame on skewers too. Found some big and juicy strawberries which turned out to be very sweet as well.
Could you believe it that it will be October tomorrow????!!! In less that 100 days we will celebrate another new year!
Ok, that’s all for today my dear bento folks!

Thanks Yeapies! I like Susan’s more… mine is a bit out of shape!
Well, nothing can keep me busy except for the kids!
Yeap! Fish is nice n cute! The octos added a nice sea themed bento. I hv the same problem with cheese! Try using smoked cheddar, they’re firmer.
Thanks Karen!

hahahaha! Yeah, they must be as blur as the sotong!
I like the octodogs! I have to try it too. I have collected so many ideas looking at so many bentos. Certainly too many, thus I do not know what to do next….hehehehe…

Hahaha… yeah, tell me about it!
I browse until my head wanna explode sometimes!
But those great bento done by those superb Japanese
mamas are just tooo beautiful so it kept me inspired!
Totally agreed with you on the cheese and sausages. I always find the normal cheese too soft and the colour of the sausages too pale! Like the bubbles you added for the fish
Yalor!! I’ve checked all the sausages around and most are
so pale!!!
LOVE it!!! I use sliced cheeses for our bentos but it’s a thicker deli slice, you could try that

Glad you like the fatty fish!
Oh yeah, I saw some of these deli cheese which I thought
I’ll buy one of these days when I finished my stacks of
regular cheese slices.
I think the whole thing is cute! What a great sea themed bento! I’ve never seen the red sausages here either, hopefully I just haven’t been looking hard enough

Thanks Heather!
I tried looking for those red sausages in the Japanese
mart here but they don’t have them either.
Maybe one day I’m going to dye my sausages!!!!
Looks great!! I like the undersea theme a lot! Well done

Wah, such a FAT fish you have, cute! You can try with BBQ cheese, the color is darker as compared to normal cheese. I found it at Tesco only. The octodogs look so blur…haha. Nice bento.
