Bento attempt .... Angry Birds and Pancakes..

 
The week before CNY, I fried some bee hoon with canned pig trotters.  It was a speciality that my mom cooked and I was inspired to cook too.  It tasted alright but of cos my mom's one was much better.
 
Anyway, Louis has "picky" eyes.  If he doesn't like the food at the sight of it, he wouldn't even want to try it. Haiz... forcing him just doesn't work and he will "inspect" the food before it goes into his mouth.  He wouldn't eat anything with vegetables, corn and carrots.  He doesn't even eat duck previously as Ducks are supposed to be his bathmates and not food.  OMG.  hahaha..  He loves noodles though.  So any type of strip looking stuffs, we will tell him it's noodles - including bee hoon.  As I was cooking the fried bee hoon, I was also thinking what I can make it into.  Recently, he's just craze about the Angry Birds' Yellow bird.  So, since the colour is closest to the yellow bird.  I shaped it into a triangle and made some brows and expressions for it using seaweed.   It really doesn't look really alike, I must say cos I was free cutting the seaweed and trying to serve the hungry people out there asap....
 
Well.... but as long as Louis likes it.... who cares! hahah..



Yesterday, I decided to try making pancakes again.  This round I use a pre-mix pancake mixture and made 2 angry birds and a rilakkuma pancakes.  :P 

As for the methods, I put the mixture into a squeeze bottle.  In the frying pan, I squeeze out the brows, the eyes, noses, ears and the face first. Let it cook for a while before pouring the batter to fill up the spaces.   This way, the eyes/noses/ears are actually a darker shade from the rest of the face.
