While I was visiting Cassi we went to Mitsuwa, a huge Japanese marketplace and eatery!  They had amazing fresh made deserts and food, course I was most excited about the Daifuku and Oribenishiki (type of Kurimanju) !  It was so greatttttt.

Some sort of bliss known as mochido - the mochi donut.

And now Mitsuwa is added to my list of places to visit when I am next in CA.

Okay, THIS is my best bento… :3
mochi bunny, cute little rice balls and mini fried hotdogs

—————————————————————————————————————————————-

Mini hotdogs:

dough:

-  2 tablespoons of flour

- 1 egg

- salt and pepper

- 1/3 tablespoon sugar

- ½ tablespoon baking powder (yes its alot, but wanted the dough really light and crispy)

- finely chopped spring onions

- add milk if the dough is too thick

cover the cocktail sausages in the batter and deepfry until the dough is golden brown… *tastes yummy* <3

Rice balls and Mochi Bunny:

I used sushi rice for this.

i am not the best in the world to make onigiri, so used clear film to push out the rice on and then add the crabmeat filling. then i just pulled the plastic together and twisted in to a ball… much much easier ^^
for decorating i used, plain cheese, black nori and red crabcake meat.

Rest: 

Carrot flowers, mini tomatoes, brocoli, lollo bionda salad (curly salad), edamame beans. and Mini meatballs (bought them finished because they taste really good i think ^^

LOOK HOW TASTY THIS LOOKS OMG

I had just enough energy to make some cupcakes, I intended weeks ago to bring in some to work for my birthday (tomorrow).  :)  Simple cute cotton candy color icing decorations, homemade butter-creme icing - my fav.
