My favorite San-X character is the little black cat of Palette's Sweet Street, and this adorable kitty and surrounding universe of bright-pastel Francophilia inspired a DIY bento box project today. I applied some favorite Palette's Sweet Street stickers to a plain bento box picked up at Daiso to create this customized box, with that sweet-toothed, inquisitive kitty peering out amid macarons, cakes and flowers:
What's inside? A mini salad of watermelon radish and romaine (ginger dressing in the little container), crab shumai and snow peas in the second section:
These have a very mild spiciness and I love the brilliant pink color!
That fushia colour on the radish is one I very much associate with the B-bird palette. I don't know that we have them in Australia. My eyes hovered over your dumplings too. Longingly.
ReplyDeleteI love watermelon radishes. They are just SO pretty, they just pop! And they are pretty easy to grow, as a kid I always would plant radishes. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Blorgie, it made me smile to think of a recognizable B-bird palette, and yes indeed, all shades of pink esp intense ones would be major players!
ReplyDeleteMiss Mochi, you've inspired me to plant these in our garden after this comment...now if only it would rain a little, right?
ReplyDeleteThe stickers are so cute :), and your bentos are still as beautiful as ever. Happy New Year 2014 :)!
