Jenn's Bento Boxes!

Tiramisu made with ladyfingers, egg yolk, sugar, whipping cream, coffee, marscapone cheese and decorated with cocoa powder and dark chocolate shavings. It's called Komodo Dragon Tiramisu because I used Starbuck's Komodo Dragon coffee with an extra shot of espresso to make it.

Blackberry mousse cake made with whipped cream, sugar, egg, gelatin, blackberries pureed, lemon and a sponge cake made from a mix in the middle.

Top Left: Tomato and cucumber salad
Right: Steamed lobster
Bottom: Rice with garlic broccoli and lobster

Lemon sponge cake with lemon pudding and raspberry sauce made from fresh raspberries!

Mussels, shrimp, mushrooms, onion satayed with black bean garlic sauce on rice. A piece of sardines right on the rice cause sardines and rice is yummy.

Some sushi that I made with my friend, David.

Tofu curd filled with rice and furikake on top. Green and yellow peppers. Tofu with kimchi (Korean pickled cabbage) on top.

Top: green and yellow peppers with different shaped cheddar cheese
Bottom: Spaghetti with chili tomato sauce with onions, peppers, chili powder, mushrooms, tomato paste, tomato sauce. Some cheddar cheese under the sauce.

Starting from top to bottom. At the very top there is a fried vegetable croquette, which was bought frozen. It's mainly potatoes, mashed with peas and corn inside (very crunchy). Then there's three pieces of tofu curd. It's actually the ones that are supposed to be stuffed with rice, but I didn't realize that until after I opened the can of tofu. (Will try stuffing them another time).

Then there's two dumplings, fried. Boiled vegetables. On the right there are 2 triangle onigiri flavoured with plum furikake (rice seasoning). And on the bottom left corner there's eel that I got from a can in soya sauce and black soya beans.

Top: Salad with lettuce, cucumbers, pumpkin seeds and tuna chunks from a can. Bottom: 6 chicken and vegetable dumplings

Top: White rice with eel and vegetable satay. Bottom: Vegetable/potato croquette and boiled dumplings on the side. The smiley face is just mustard.

Getting lazy, the eel was bought already cooked and was reheated, the croquette was also frozen and pan fried and the dumplings were bought frozen as well. The only thing I really did was cooked the vegetable and put it together.

Rice balls made into pigs, with seaweed (nori) decorations, carrot and celery sticks in the middle. Strawberry flowers and leftover salad. Ranch dipping sauce in the middle for the carrot and celery sticks.

Chocolate covered strawberries with icing.

First time I'm using containers within my bento to separate things. Bottom left container has mangoes and pineapples in them. Top right container has sweet potato salad, which has sweet potatoes, red baby potatoes, eggs and mayonnaise. In the middle is wild rice with salmon (from a can) drizzled with some olive oil and some baby carrot sticks on the side.

2 sunny side up quail eggs on rice. And shrimp balls, some other stuff that I got... I think they're fish balls, but shaped like sausages. Some peas and some more chicken and veggie dumplings. Click here to see it from a different angle.

Click here to see the sandwiches that my brother made! They're like triple stacked hamburgers on toast.

Everything in this bento was boiled... pretty much. Top tier: brown soba noodles with mini boiled shrimp and peanuts. Bottom tier: boiled chicken and veggie dumplings, hard boiled quail eggs coloured with food colouring plus some boiled green and yellow beans on the side.

I tried to make frittata... but I didn't have any cheese at all in my house so I tried to omit it. It was so hard to keep together and ended up looking a little charred. So, bottom left is the frittatas with mini sausages snuck in between the gaps. Bottom right is a left over quiche. Top bento has raspberries, blueberries, baby carrots and yellow bell pepper slices.

This is a bit of a weird combination. I made some quiches (top left and bottom right). I used Pilsbury flaky rolls and formed them into cups in a muffin pan and then I added an egg mixture with milk and spinach in the middle to make the quiche. I also have some onigiri filled with tuna and mayonnaise and seasoned with a mixture of dry dill and spices. I have some breakfast sausages as fillers and a cupcake liner filled with raspberries and blueberries in the middle.

Top: Mushroom cous cous with ground beef, satayed in in a pan for some crunch. Skewered red peppers, red potatoes, shrimp and scallops seasoned with President's Choice seafood herb mix.

Bottom Left: Left over tofu and broccoli. Bottom Right: Fresh raspberries, and blueberries atop some cool whip and topped with sugar.
