Bento #6: Doggie Bento

A doggie bento that I have made that includes rice, nori, tamago, broccoli, and sauteed shrimp with onions. Very easy bento-making. It still needs tonnes of improvement, but my bf loves it, so I'm happy! =D

 I use up some cute picks for the decorations. This bento consists of two doggies. One with plain rice, and another one with dark soy sauce.

Danish Puff Pastry

I realized that I did not post this photo. This is a Danish Puff Pastry which is super crunchy and great in texture and flavor! Crunchy foods are always my favorite, because I like to bite into foods that have the sounds of "kacha-kacha-kacha". LOL. This recipe is super easy to make. 

Danish Puff Pastry

Ingredients:

(I used store-bought made puff pastry dough, Pepperidge farm brand)

1/2 cup sugar

1 egg, beaten

Tools needed:

Baking pan lined with parchment paper

Steps:

1. Roll out the dough and brush with egg wash, then sprinkle sugar on top of the dough. Cut into desired shape, and twist it. I did not make it too pretty since the dough was cut too short and thick by me (mistake >.<).

2. Bake in oven at 400 F for 40-45 minutes until golden brown. If you desire a more crunchy texture even in the inside of the pastry, bake for another 10 minutes. Cool completely and store in airtight container.

Easy, right? I love this easy, yet sugary puff pastry. Who does not love puff pastry. If you make puff pastry from scratch, it is very time consuming, and the texture will come out the same eventually. I made that before and the texture is the same. I guess the brand that I bought, Pepperidge Farm is so far the best.

Enjoy =)

Egg Tart

Very ugly egg tart... but yummy.. The first 3 photos are the original/traditional egg tarts with the flour texture tart... The 4th photo is adapted from Nasi Lemak Lover's puff pastry egg tart. Very yummy as well..I boyfriend prefer the puff pastry one because it has more layer texture and crunchy and buttery and fatty...LOL...And, it is very easy to make. The puff pastry can be bough in store ready made, frozen one... Just thaw it and cut to desired square shape... The filling is sugar, eggs, water, milk and vinegar... Super easy...
