There was a challenge on my bento community, and the theme was Sci-Fi TV shows. I love Sci-fi, so I had to participate – and not once, but three times even!

I was so impressed by the bento of Leiji Matsumoto’s character Queen Emeraldas posted on JList that I set out to do a Queen Millennia from the series of the same name after all. This was my BF’s bento today (well, the photoworthy part of it).
Face done with sushi rice colored with a tiny drop of gochujang; Hair from omelette; Body is a riceball with Nori, the deco is red bell pepper, nori and cucumbers.

Avocado, cucumber and egg sashimi surrounding some sushi rice with an inari cutout.
Cat container with wasabi and leek mayo, hollow tomato with miso ball. Not shown: Soy bottle, prepacked miso condiments
…and if you can’t recognize this one, you have lived under a rock in the 80es. Hint: why does the cat have a sweatdrop?

Saffron&seafood risotto with peas and spring onion deco; more seafood; Parmesan in the bowl; candy.
Character(s) from Doctor Who, of course. Not too happy with how the Dalek came out, I had trouble shaping the riceball the way I wanted.
I also have the feeling I’m more suited for the pretty arranging of interesting components than for the riceball sculpting. Just too practically minded!
Oh, and I seem to be nearing a 100 (posted) bentos! That’s not counting some boxes I was not proud of and breakfast posts.
Wonder what I’ll make for the big 100?
