My first ever My Little Pony Bento!
So happy that I finally got around to make a My Little Pony Bento.
My Little Pony was one of my favourite childhood cartoons while growing up. I really loved the ponies and unicorns~ My Little Pony has sinced evolved quite a lot in recent years. So the cartoons and merchandise you see these days are very different from how they looked or at least how I remember them to be.

I wanted the mane to be colourful, so I did a bit of research online and found two possible My Little Pony characters including Princess Celestia alicorn pony and Rainbow Dash.
I decided to go with Princess Celestial as my inspiration as I didn’t want to have to colour my rice blue :P 
Quite happy with how the mane and tail turned out. Do you like them too?
To create the bento character, I used Japanese noodles – ume plum (pink), egg (yellow) and matcha (green) noodles to create the mane and tail.
The head, body and legs were shaped from Japanese rice.
But I forgot to add the unicorn! :(((( oh well~~ haha
The side dishes for today’s My Little Pony bento included grilled mini minced meat patties, broccoli, carrots and strawberry.
