Bento Craze

I've been dreaming for so long on how I can create a very appealing and appetizing food art. I was thoroughly browsing over pinterest for limitless Bento diy ideas, been saving screenshots and downloading photos as my references on the day that I'll be able to make one. 

And the day has come... It is Valentine and I want to surprise my husband a nice breakfast that will exertly put all my hidden talents and effort into.. It may just be a simple steamed-fried meal but this really test my creative skills. 

My materials and ingredients are:

• Steamed rice 
• Basic shape nuggets
• Jumbo hotdogs
• Meat loaf
• Cheddar cheese
• Eggs
• Rommaine lettuce
• Foodpickers
• Food box
• Bamboo skewers

I created a heart shaped and floral hotdogs, scrambled egg flowers and hotdog-cheese-meatloaf skewers. After preparing all these ingredients, I started creating my 1st bento meal box. I put several rommaine lettuce leaves on the sides of the box, set the steamed rice on the right side and carefully assembled the nuggets, hotdogs and skewers. (please refer to pinterest for more diy bento ideas). I bought my food pickers in Japan Home Center and only costs 88.00 php. I am planning to collect more bento meal stuffs like cutters, trays and molders for more bento meal boxes soon..

I'm going crazy over these foodpickers!
