My Favourite 13 of 2013

Happy New Year! May your 2014 be filled with health and happiness. I will be sharing my favourite 13 creations for 2013 in this post.

I found it really tough narrowing down my bentos to my favourite 13, I have way too many favourites, lol. I ended up choosing one from each month instead. I tried to choose those creations that I like but are less popular, hope you enjoy looking through them. Just click on the images below to link to the respective blog post.

Kiki's Delivery Service Bento

I have just been informed that Bosch has launched a coloured special edition of their very popular MUM5 kitchen machine. Click HERE to view them, comes in really yummy colours. I'm so tempted to get one myself.


This image of Kiki (the main character in Kiki's Delivery Service) has been saved on my ipad since a long time back. I wanted to make it for Halloween, but got distracted by a Blythe version of Kiki and ended up making that instead.


Kiki was made from ham, cheese, nori and capsicum.


Please pardon the sloppy job on Jiji. I only remembered I had not make Jiji when I was taking the photos. -_-

KiKi's Delivery Service

Do you know the anime flim, Kiki's Delivery Service? There is going to be a live adaption of the anime soon! I've always wanted to make Kiki, but somehow it did not materialize until last week. However, this version I'm sharing today is not the one I had always wanted to make. Hopefully I will find some time to make that next week.


This version of Kiki is inspired by a Blythe doll I saw. The doll was dressed as Kiki for Halloween. :) I also saw a cute version of Kiki, have to make that one too. :)


Kiki is made from rice, nori, cheese, strawberry, inari age and squid ink pasta. The sides for this lunch are teriyaki meatballs and asparagus/corn stir fry.


A closer look at Kiki, her broom is made from asparagus and inari age. Can you spot JiJi? :)
