Onigiri with meat patties, golden kiwis, grapes and blueberries.
Blue rice coloured with butterfly pea flower and red rice coloured with beetroot.
The usual sandwiches for School, with fillings they requested, packed with grapes and meat patty.
Same colouring ingredients used to make the bread. But the beetroot version was more towards a faint brown instead, will have to experiment on that again. :)
Another so so cute Bento! :) And I love your decorations too. The fork is very adorable!
ReplyDeleteTks a lot, Maya, I love the fork too. :)
DeleteSuper cute Elmos. Love them and not the Elmo song keeps playing in my head:) Where do you get the food coloring that you use for your rice? I like the idea 'cause it is natural.
ReplyDeleteLol, tks, Rina. The butterfly pea flower Is dried flower, when u soak it in hot water, you get a dark blue colour. The locals use it to make 'kueh'. I use the dark blue water to cook the rice n make the bread. It's available at some baking supplies shop n tea supplies shops here. Mine was from my mum, who plucked them off someone's house in Malaysia, lol.
DeleteHello :) How do you color the bread? And where you get the wooden coaster and fork? They are simply adorable!
ReplyDeleteSimilar to the rice, I dye the water needed to make the bread dark blue b4 adding in. Wooden coaster from taobao, n fork from rakuten. :)
DeleteThanks for your reply! :) But will the bread turn soggy?
DeleteNo leh, their boxes are sch are packed with a frozen drink, so it's usually still cold/cool when they eat.
DeleteHi Ming, i have the butterfly pea flower at my mom's place. do i still have to dried them first before soaking them?or i just soak the fresh flower? so excited using natural food coloring rather than the artificial one :D

Not sure if its a must, but my mum did dry them for a couple of hrs in the sun b4 freezing them. I just soak in boiling water to get the blue water.
