Hello Kitty Sealed Sandwich
It's the school holidays again!
This morning, we took LV to the Botanic Gardens for a runabout with her granduncle and grandaunt. Packed a sandwich for her to take along in case breakfast turned out to not agree with her (she's getting more discerning in her tastes and seems to be going through a bread-only or rice-only phase).
Just last week, we took LV down to Chinatown. I was in search of buttons and ribbons for a craft project and could not find any. Instead, we ended up at Kai Kai Gifts and much as I said I had nothing to get, I ended up buying this Hello Kitty sandwich sealer and another similar one, but of a car. The sealer comes in 4 parts actually - a sealer base and top, a cutter, and this stencil you see here which fits over everything. It's pictured here after I was done sprinkling Milo powder over it.
And here is the final product! It's filled with egg mayonnaise, and LV enjoyed it very much. She's seems to enjoy having her "Kitty Sandwich" at mealtimes and rather looks forward to the treat. It so happened I had a matching Hello Kitty die-cut bento box and the sandwich fit really nicely into it, so everything just came together so prettily, I felt I had to share it!
Friends reading this in Singapore may wish to note though, that I used Japanese-sized bread slices for this sandwich. Regular bread loaf slices (a la Gardenia or Sunshine bread) here measure only 10x10cm. This sandwich sealer (as with other similar square sealers you may see online) is made for the Japanese (and I suspect also US) standard, which measures about 12x12cm per slice. I got my loaf from Provence, a Japanese bakery in Singapore. Their 8-slice loaf costs SGD$2.40. I think. Or could be SGD$2.80. Thereabouts.
