(# 229) Tricolor fusili pasta bento

For tomorrow's bento I prepared leftovers pasta dinner, I must say I spent forever trying to cut the cheese ..LOL ...
I used the dragon cutter but there are some tears here and there especially on the feet parts, so for the 2nd bento I used the butterfly cutter, turned out the same... took me forever to release the cheese, next time I'll stick with carrot :P so much easier :-), anyway here are the pictures :

I packed some orange on the next tier along with fresh plum and black berries from the back yard.

(# 228) Beef Bulgogi Gimbab Bento

What's up with me and Korean food lately? almost all of the new bento posts are contains Korean food.
We loooovee Korean food :) it's simple, easy to prepare yet so scrumptious according to my kids :P and I don't blame them ....

For tomorrow's lunch I prepared some beef bulgogi gimbab/kimbap with ebi furay, I made some ebi furay from scratch and I must say I am so happy with the result, hubby said he can just eat the whole plate ...
The ebi furay I made *however* is not the kind that using panko bread, but regular tempura batter, so maybe I should mention shrimp tempura instead? well, I can careless about the name this time :P

On the next tier I packed some fresh pineapple along with some sweet mini peppers.

Have a pleasant evening :)

(# 227) Beef bulgogi and rice

Another simple bento from yesterday's lunch :

That was actually leftovers from late lunch the other day, we went out to Korean fast food in Lynnwood, we ordered too much, I forgot the portion here is always HUGE ... after spent holiday for 2.5 months in Indonesia :P where the portion are much smaller compared to here.

First tier contains white rice sprinkled with furikake, beef bulgogi, and some cukes. I also put some takuwan to make it more colorful.
There are some fresh black berries from our backyard in the second tier, some kiwis and red cherries.
