It’s Chinese New Year 2010, “The Year of the Tiger”.
It was late last night when I started packing this bento and before completion… I was cursing ! Hey…. Why can’t this be “The Year of the Egg”?
Anyway… long story short, here’s the final product; a featured bento with a base of roasted asparagus, white tiger musubi, veggie gyoza, salmon patties, cukes, and tomatoes (for you Linda).
Even though this bento was a challenge for me, I kind of like doing these charaben/kyaraben. You may see another one soon. In the meantime… Kung Hee Fat Choy!
When I look back on how I felt after doing a few charaben, I remember thinking, oh the heck with this. lol
Oh boy… what have I gotten myself into? hehehe
Cute tiger and lovely setup! Great job with charaben!
Hi sheri, Thank you!
The white tiger is SOOOO adorable! I love how the paws are sticking out the bottom!!!
Hello BentoBoxUk, Thank you so much for your nice comments.
awesome tiger! i love when you do kyaraben – i love ALL your bentos, but a kyaraben once in a while is a nice treat
this white tiger looks very gentle.. maybe a cute cub? and the paw prints are fantastic!!
Hi gamene, Yeah I think you’re right about it being a cub. Thank you for your comments. Yep, Kyaraben…once in a while is a fun treat!
Love the tiger, he’s so cute! LOL, I like his paw prints too, the little details like that make it extra cute! Nice paw print paper too. Kung Hee Fat Choy!
Thanks Susan! Happy New Year to you too!
I love the presentation. Cute tiger!
Thank you anncoo!
Great job on the tiger, I love the little paw prints too!!
Thanks Jenn, I’m so glad that I decided to add the paw prints.
Very cute, and the paw motif is wonderful. Also, I’d love those vegggie gyoza!
Hi bentobird, Thank you for your nice comments… as always. I love these veggie gyoza. Someday, I’m going to have to make some of my own from scratch.
Yeah Debra! I can feel the CNY from this bento. Nicely done tiger and cute paws. You presented all the CNY colors and great setting for the picture. I amazed … you even have the paws paper for the background d(^.^)b
Awww Lia, You are so kind with your words. Thank you. The background paper did work out nicely.
Great bento! I vote we add a year of the egg too!!
