Bento #27 Chinese new year bento
Today's Chinese new year and now we're in the year of the tiger.
I'm a tiger myself so I like those years best =)
To honor the occasion, I made a special bento for tomorrow: A tiger- bento!
It's om-rice with chicken, carrot, zucchini, onion and orange bell pepper, topped by an omelet tiger with nori-stripes.
I am really proud how that came out!
In the lower tier there's veggies with a baby bell cheese, grapes and mousse au chocolat with pear paw prints and a mochi filled with sweet beans.
The baby bell has the chinese sign for luck on it. And yes, it is upside down. It must be upside down on a red square and you plaster it on your door for best luck ;)
Here some close ups of the tiger:
And of the head:
Hope you enjoy this. It was fun to make =)
新年快乐!! (Happy new year)
