Bento Fun #224 – Santa & Rudolf for Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope all of you are enjoying the love, peace, joy  and of course the abundance of food during this festive season! Well, though we are not Christians, we are not excluded in the merry making!

I am still very ‘lazy’ after such a long break and thus, hardly update this blog as well as visiting yours! Hopefully, my inspiration will return as the new school year is going to start in a week time! Oh! How wonderful eh? To be very honest, I have not even unpack my luggage even after I’m back for almost 2 weeks! Can you see how lazy I have got? *blush*

And back to bento business. To commemorate this joyous day, I made Darrius a Santa & Rudolf bento…

Hubby was the cook today and he made some soya sauce chicken. I only have to put all the items together. Santa is made of 2 colors rice which the face was added with some rice coloring… a gift from a bento pal. Finally, they have them here in Penang! The beard was made with just white rice and the santa hat made of filamen stick. Rudolf is made of steamed meat balls and his BIG RED NOSE is a fresh cranberry! I bought a pack which I intend to cook cranberry sauce these few days. Wanna make my own Ikea meatballs!!!

Rudolf eyes are from filamen stick and his and Santa’s cheeks are kamaboko. There are some orange wedges, strawberries as well as some broccoli that are made into a Christmas tree. There are also some snowflakes cut from broccoli stem… cool eh?

And here is how the rice coloring looks like…

Looking forward to experiment with the other colors too once I get back my inspiration!

I am adding this bento for WFLW Week 30 at Shannon’s and December B.O.M.B at Hapa Bento.

Meantime, wishing everyone a great week ahead and Happy New Year!!
