I am here to teach you how to CHEAT.

Yes. 
This look verycomplicatedwtf. 
But unless, you don't even know how to use a knife, or else, this is just a PIECE OF.....

KAWAII BENTO. 
which means a cute lunch box.

If you really can't make this after read my blog post, seriously, you don't deserve a boyfriend, single is just good for you. haha

For the bento making, you need the 
Utensils:
Wok
Knife (small one will do)
lunch box
cling wrap
chopping board
toothpicks

Ingredients:
Sausages
Carrot
strawberries
cucumber
red plum ( THAT IS NOT AN APPLE FYI ) 
green apple
eggs
Rice ( Japanese rice is recommended )
cheese 
seaweed
soy sauce

Something Extra:
Brain
Patience
Creativity

Ok, basically, I will teach you guys how to do the basic thing, and how to decorate it, and what ingredients you want to use actually is optional, depends on personal preferences. 

1st: How to make your rice brown?
Ok, I am not going to teach you how to cook the rice as everyone has the rice cooker. 
But if you want your decoration bear to be a "Brown Bear" instead of the "Polar Bear" or "Panda" , mix your rice with the soy sauce.

 DONE.

2nd: How to shape the rice?
Use the cling wrap. Always use the cling wrap.
You can use your bare hand tho, erm. Just that it's not that hygiene.

See? The Brown Bear's head is shaped.
You can achieve a better result while the rice is still sticky and warm.

Mine is actually quite a bad example....


3rd: How to make the octopus decoration?
It's pretty simple.
But always remember to buy a bigger sausage.
The length is not vital but to get the perfect Octopus Deco, you have to make sure the sausage is thick enough for you to cut.

Cut a cross, and another cross again. ( so hard to explain lah, use your brain here )
Left it half hanging to form the Octopus head.
Now you'll have 8 tentacles.

Fry them on a pan/wok with a little oil. And you're done with the octopus.

6th: How to make the cute rabbit decoration ah?
Ok. This is something hard.
As it is kind of hard to explain with my utterly finite vocabulary.
If you cannot get it through the picture, just don't do the rabbit deco okay? *RAGE*

Basically you have to crave a shape like below on your apple.

And gently slice the rabbit ear. ( DON'T CUT IT OFF MORON)

And do a upper cut lah. like below:

Your rabbit basically will look like this.
It can be a base to make your strawberry flowers stand.

Something extra?
You can actually fried some nuggets to make as base too.

Do a cheese roll egg if your bf loves cheese.

It's pretty easy, just fry the egg into 7/10 cooked and roll the cheese on. 
Mama-mia!

Decoration start.
Oh well, to make the eyes, you can always cut the seaweeds into the shape you like.
for the nose part, use a toothpick and draw on the cheese!
