Happy Forest Bento (70) and Maki Bento (71)

On Wed evening, little girl had demanded sushi for her bento, she complained that she didn't have it for long time, so ....  'Ta Dah'!  Here comes the sushi bento for her this thu :)


It took me slightly more than 1 hour from blanching, boiling, cutting, rolling, packing til photo-taking.  Think time took a bit too long for preparing 2 bentos only....
 
Contains of bento: broccoli, grape tomatoes, cucumber & furikake maki, chicken cocktail sausages, hard-boiled egg and containers of soy sauce & mayo.

Story behind this bento:  Trees (broccoli) are growing happily from the healthy soil (cucumber & furikake maki), therefore, bird, chick and bunny live happily and healthily nearby too!  Grape tomatoes are the sunlight shining between the trees and chicken cocktail sausages represent the wood fence.

Little girl kept 2 maki, 2 sausages and 2 cucumber for her snack later, then she polished the bento with no fuss!  I was surprised that she ate the egg yolk, the reason behind it was she was told by her cousin Y that one may know how to swim after finishing the yolk!  Kids can really make up something *roll eyes*

Nice story... especially like the part that grape tomatoes are sunlight shining between the trees. Clap! Clap! Good imagery here.

Eh! That's the best place I can put those tomatoes, thus gotta come up with something to go along the story ;p
