Bento Mania #48 & #49 – Fairy Bread & Guacamole
My kids love Fairy Bread very much. I think any other kids would love them too.
Fairy Bread is just a normal bread spread with butter and topped with lots of Hundred and Thousand and just about any other decorative sweets you get from the bakery shop.
This is my 8 y/o bento. We had some mandarin oranges, frankfurters & carrot in skew, monkey container with kewpie mayo for dippings and tulip cut out Fairy Bread. You need not have to worry as the bread is full of Hundreds and Thousands they won’t stick to each other even if you stacked them.
For my boy, I hate to have wastage from the bread. My all time favourite shape – triangle!
Seriously, kids won’t mind the shape at all. I put less Hundreds and Thousands as compared to the real Fairy Bread as they really covered them with the colourful sweets. Go check out more about Fairy Bread in the internet if you are interested. They are very famous in Australia.
While kids have those sweet stuff, the adult had real food. (asif)
Dunno why each time I see avocado in the supermarket, I must bring home one even if the price is RM4.99 per piece. I love guacamole a lot.
If you have a better recipe, please share them with me. This is my recipe. Very simple stuff:
- Avocado
- Sundried tomatoes
- Yellow onion
- Pinch of salt
- Half lemon/lime juice
Mashed the avocado and combined all of the ingredients. You get homemade guacamole. Very delicious to go with nachos.
This is the adult bento. Very obvious we had spaghetti bolognese, bake potatoes with chicken bits and cheese topped with guacalome and bake drumlet. Hubby told me three of his colleagues took the spaghetti one roll each as I put them in a ball size so that it is easier for him to share eat . When he told me that, I quietly cursed under my breath, “Idoit, don’t appreciate my food issit. Luckly his colleagues appreciate my food.”

Ooohhh…those bread looks lovely with toppings… but I can’t seem to find the decorative sweets here in UK… Maybe I should look for them a bit harder

Wah, avocado for RM4.99? It’s still cheap compared to USA if you convert the price. If not in season, the price here could go between US$2-2.50 each. I love guacamole too. I found this recipe on classic guacamole online – check it out:
