Hi, I’m Samantha. I’m not a professional chef and I’ve never been to culinary school. I’m just an ordinary, regular and average mom, crazy about making mess in the kitchen.
I started my very first Bento making in December 2008, when I was heavily pregnant with my second daughter. It was to let my elder daughter to eat independently after the arrival of her younger sister. I was very lucky and blessed that my creations never failed to impress my elder daughter and it made her looked forward to the next meal. Now, she has her little sister fighting over which character they should get during mealtime. It makes meal time extremely fun.
It’s lovely to meet you. I hope you enjoy it here.

I love your bento creations! Do you always serve your kids such cute meals? Do they eat it all? How old are they? I want to try for my 2 year old. She is such a picky eater !
Hello there, so sorry to reply late. Yes, I served the charaben meals to my 2 and 4 year old kids few times a week at home. They loved it so they will eat them all. You should try to make healthy cute food for your 2 year old. All the best my dear.
Hi eatzybitzy Jonathan again. Just thought I would like to suggest some characters that would look great as a Charaben 🙂

Thank you Alyssa. I usually shaped the rice (in cling wrap) to oval shape…for the face. The rest are cut out from the nori sheets and eggs. White= egg white, yellow= egg york or whole egg…etc. I hope it helps 🙂 Will try to show some simple tutorials soon.
