A Sanrio theme bento today! Featuring Keroppi, My Melody and Purin characters!
Instead of my usual rice bento, I made myself a noodles bento for lunch. Happy that I finally got to cook these lovely colored Japanese noodles that I bought at the Okinawa Fair held earlier at Mediya Supermarket, Liang Court mall.
These colourful noodles were actually purple sweet potato (pink), turmeric (yellow), and bittergourd (green) flavours. I was initially quite worried that the bittergourd noodles will taste bitter, thankfully it was not, phew! :P
I first saw noodle foodart on cookpad recipe some years back, where the Japanese made these super cute totoro designs using soba noodles. Ever since, I have been wanted to make my own noodle food art creations, though I have not made that many (Opps) :P
I decided to do a slight spin off and pack the noodles in my bento box instead. While these were not soba noodles, but instead were thin udon noodles, they still worked well in the creation of the cute characters. Simply pack the bento with some dipping sauce and you are ready to have this for your meal!
The side dishes were baked chicken wings with bbq sauce and honey, sautéed asparagus, cucumber, lettuce and the last pieces of my white strawberries.
The ingredients for the characters were:
- Keroppi (bittergourd udon noodles, seaweed, hanpen, ham)
- My Melody (purple sweet potato udon noodles, hanpen, seaweed, ham, and just a tiny bit of the turmeric udon noodles for the nose)
- Purin, also known as Pudding Dog (turmeric udon noodles, seaweed, grilled shiitake mushroom)
So many people kept asking me about the white strawberries...
These Japanese white strawberries are actually hybrids of strawberries and pineapples. Its full name in Japanese "初恋の香り, 白いちご" (hatsu koi no kaori, shiro ichigo), literally means "the fragrance of first love, white strawberry" in English. These strawberries are also known as pineberries in some other countries.
I bought these shiro ichigo (white strawberries) air flown from Japan via Kuriya Fish Market at Rakuten SG. They are definitely pricey but I wanted to try them.
In terms of taste, it is has the familiar strawberry flavour with a very subtle pineapple fragrance. It is also slightly softer in texture compared to the usual korean strawberries.
