Charlie and The Chocolate Factory

Once again, together with my fellows Bento Bloggers and Friends, we organized a blog hop to celebrate the Roald Dahl day. 
Recently, my sons watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie on the television, and they loved it!
So I tried to create Mr. Willy Wonka from Roald Dahl's famous book Charlie and The Chocolate Factory for them. 

To make Mr. Willy Wonka, I used hard boiled egg, olive, crab sticks, nori, noodle, and earwood fungi. For the hat, I molded white steamed rice and covered it with nori and red crab stick.
For the base, I put white steamed rice, with stir-fried bamboo shoots, pickled cucumber, and red chilli.

For the side dish, there are pork wontons, ham "flower", pickled cucumber, strawberries with white crab sticks, and homemade fruit jelly (inspired by Nami from Just One Cookbook).

I hope you enjoy this post! Please continue the blog hop to the wonderful work of art from Bento Monster by clicking the button below :

Red Fish

The idea is from Dr. Seuss' book : One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish; but on this occasion, I created 2 red fish instead. I used sliced cheese for the background, red and blue egg-sheet for the fish and the bowl . For the details I used nori and white egg-sheet.

Inside the pita pocket, I put grated carrot, roast chicken sliced, BBQ sauce, sour cream and cheese.

For my eldest son, I prepared :
1. Red Fish Pita Pocket
2. Prawn tofu nuggets (recipe is in here) with BBQ sauce
3. Corn on the cob
4. Watermelon cuts for recess

And for my little one, I prepared :
1. Red Fish Pita Pocket
2. Prawn tofu nuggets with tomato sauce
3. Corn on the cob
4. Kiwi fruit for recess
